Skylight

May 29, 2020

Ohio native and former financial planner Scott Rider lives his life by a simple four-word phrase—I will never quit or IWNQ. He was a three-time Big 10 Champion and two-time All American in track & field at the Ohio State University. He is a devout member of the Skylight team, having served his community as a financial planner for over 30 years. For most people, life begins to slow down after retirement—but Scott had some more challenges to overcome.

Not only has Scott beaten colon cancer, but for more than 15 years has been living with Parkinson’s disease. As stated in his YouTube channel bio, he refers to himself as “evidence that life can change instantly.” No matter how tough the road in front of him looks, Scott remembers his four-word phrase and soldiers on. Since 2018, Scott has been using the story of his hardships to spread his message of perseverance and hope.
