Matthew Dicks knows about struggle. Kicked out of his childhood home at 18, he was arrested and tried for a crime he didn’t commit. He has been jailed, and he has been homeless. He has died twice, both requiring paramedics to perform CPR to restore his life. In a violent armed robbery at a McDonald's restaurant, he was held at gunpoint. Dealing with a lifetime of PTSD, today Matthew is a full-time school teacher. He doesn't have to, but he loves it. A brilliant storyteller, Matthew is a record 56-time Moth StorySLAM champion and author of many fiction & non-fiction books, including the recently released 'Someday Is Today: 22 Simple Actionable Ways to Propel Your Creative Life'.
