Welcome to Episode 109 of the Built on Purpose Podcast, brought to you by Y Scouts.
In this episode of the Built On Purpose Podcast, we sit down with Mathew Pritchard—Welsh skateboarder, TV stuntman, vegan chef, and endurance athlete. Known for the outrageous MTV UK series Dirty Sanchez, Mathew’s story is one of bold reinvention.
After years of fame, chaos, and partying, he walked away to launch new businesses, complete world-record endurance events, and inspire people through clean living and self-discipline. He shares what that transition took, what sobriety has given him, and how he’s now building a life based on values instead of adrenaline.
