Darrell Wade turned backpacking into a million-dollar career with Intrepid

From Zero with Adam Schwab

What do you get when you take two mates who love traveling, $20,000 and a goal to make adventure holidays easier for people? Intrepid Group, now the world's largest adventure travel company.

Darrell spent his early career working for big businesses when he wasn’t traveling the world. That was until an epic trip across Africa in a converted truck convinced him to start what would become the Intrepid Group, one of the world’s most loved travel businesses.

In this episode Darrell shares the exclusive story of how he met his lifelong business partner Geoff (Manch) Manchester, their first backpacking trips, guiding Intrepid through SARS and COVID and balancing a successful business with altruism.
