Two passionate adventurers with a mission to unite outdoor enthusiasts worldwide—this conversation with CW Goetz and Maya Marzocchi from The Outdoors People Show reveals how unexpected connections can blossom into meaningful partnerships that transcend continents.

Their story begins with a t-shirt that traveled from North America to Brazil, taking three months to arrive and sparking what would become a dynamic co-hosting relationship. What makes their partnership particularly fascinating is how they complement each other—CW with his lifelong love of camping and canoeing that began in his childhood backyard, and Maya with her transformative journey from having a fear of heights to becoming an accomplished rock climber who now "feels alive" when scaling extreme heights.

The conversation dives deep into cultural differences in outdoor participation, particularly highlighting the challenges women face in adventure sports. Maya speaks candidly about Brazil's gender dynamics: "Here women need to fight three times harder to achieve whatever we want." Yet despite these barriers, she's built Brazilian Outdoor Adventure (BOA), a company dedicated to showing international visitors the natural wonders of her homeland.

What sets The Outdoors People Show apart is their focus on humans rather than just activities. As CW explains, "We get to know Maya Marzocchi through her climbing. We didn't get to know her climbing through Maya Marzocchi." This human-centered approach has allowed them to discover extraordinary stories of transformation, where outdoor adventures become vehicles for personal growth and cross-cultural understanding.

Their shared philosophy—that outdoor adventures should be free from ego and open to everyone—resonates throughout the conversation. Whether discussing CW's drum-making past (including crafting for Neil Peart) or Maya's approach to confronting fears head-on, their stories remind us that the outdoors offers endless possibilities for discovery, both of the world around us and of ourselves.
