Today, Matt Purcell is a regular guest on popular television programs Australia wide, an Australian of the Year Nominee, award winning entrepreneur, however, Matt's life wasn't always one of accolade and success. In fact, Matt was born in a small town in South Korea called Cholla-Bukto to a young mother who was unable to raise him.
After giving birth to her son, the young mother put him up for adoption, which led to Matt being adopted into the family he knows and loves today.
Understanding how fortunate he is to have been adopted into an Australian family, and raised in a loving and safe environment, Matt's life goal has been to give back, and to help young people who might feel as though they don't fit in to learn to understand themselves, and overcome the negative emotions and mindsets that can hold them back.
He is an in-demand speaker, who is often invited to deliver keynote presentations at conferences, or seminars across the country. Matt has been acknowledged for his entrepreneurial ideas and was the recipient of the LMBEA Outstanding Young Entrepreneur Award.
Matt founded The Examined Life Podcast that regularly reaches the #1 position in the Australian iTunes Charts. The Examined Life interviews high profile Australians to hear their current views about the world, their challenges and beliefs that had lead them towards making better decisions.
Matt runs multiple businesses and is a social media director for many high profile brands and businesses.
Recently Matt was nominated as Australian Of The Year for his work with youth in his community.
