Growing up in a war torn region of the world and hiding in shelters, Matt knew what it was like to lack safety and security. To provide for his family and give his kids a decent childhood, he worked 17 hour days. Matt lived an unhealthy and unbalanced life, where he weighed 400 pounds. He was given 5 months to live. That moment changed his life. Matt realized that people needed him and he wasn't there for them. He felt scared. Matt asked for a second chance, which he got. Today, he lives a balanced life and teaches others how to achieve it as well. Matt shares these nuggets of life wisdom: - we go back to our comfort zone - we need balance in our lives - asking for help is not weakness - maintain balance without compromising career - being healthy is a life style - we start with the purest intentions - sometimes, pure intention turn to pride - sometimes, you have to allow things to take care of themselves - it takes courage to ask for help - let it go - the 'why' is the most important question - reach out for help   tags: Matthew, Korban, certified, health, coach, life, consultant, speaker, author, story, stories, that, empower, empowering, empowerment, inspire, inspiring, inspiration, encourage, encouraging, encouragement, hope, light, podcast, Sean
