In today’s episode of the Good Business Podcast I am talking with Justine Curtis who is the Founder and CEO at Inspired Adventures.
So you know whenever you have supported someone raising money for a cause like walking the Kokoda track or hiking to the Everest base camp have you ever wondered who makes this all happen? Well that is what the team from Inspired Adventures do.
Inspired Adventures is the leading adventure fundraising agency in Australia and New Zealand, working with Australian, New Zealand and international charities to create inspiring fundraising adventures around the world.
To date Inspired Adventures has raised over $37 Million through 6,900 fundraisers across 600 or so adventures around the world from camping high in the Himalayas; seeing Machu Picchu for the first time; trekking the Great Wall of China along the Mongolian border; camel-riding through the Rajasthan desert and trekking through the highest tea plantations in the world.
In this interview we talk about that ah-ha moment that led Justine to creating Inspired Adventures, the challenges she faced along the way and most recently to the impact of COVID-19.
And as you will hear Justine came up with the idea for Inspired Adventures at the top of the highest single free-standing mountain in the world so to see how good your geography is you are just going to have to listen to find out what mountain that was. Let’s check it out...
