Formed 32 years ago with Darrel Wade, Intrepid Travel is now the largest small group adventure travel company in the world offering more than 1,000 tours on seven continents.

For our very first podcast interview I am thrilled to have had the opportunity to interview Geoff “Manch” Manchester, co-founder of Intrepid Group and Director of the company's not-for-profit The Intrepid Foundation.    Globally recognised as a pioneer in responsible travel, Intrepid Group are the world's largest provider of adventure travel experiences. Geoff and his best mate Darrell Wade founded Intrepid Travel in 1989 with a vision of creating small group adventures that travelled the local way, benefiting both travellers and the places that they visit.   More than a quarter of a century later, Intrepid Travel has grown to become Intrepid Group, a portfolio of specialist tour operators and 23 destination management companies taking over 400,000 travellers to more than 120 countries on all seven continents, and employing more than 2000 staff in 29 offices around the world.    As a former leader of Intrepid trips in Asia, Manch has firsthand experience of the issues effecting developing nations. His experience in marketing for Intrepid Travel has given him insight into the value placed on such issues by both clients and travel agents. Manch has ensured Intrepid delivers on its sustainable and responsible ethos as the company has grown rapidly over the past 27 years, from championing practical, on the ground decisions involving low impact travel, to setting and implementing company-wide responsible travel strategies.   In 2000, Intrepid Travel established the tourism industry's first dedicated responsible business department, then in 2002 launched The Intrepid Foundation to enable travellers to give back to the communities they visit. Since its creation the not-for-profit has raised over $10 million for more than 70 conservation and community projects around the globe, supporting initiatives in environmental conservation, wildlife protection, human rights, health care, child welfare and gender equality.    Manch is especially proud of the connection that The Intrepid Foundation creates between their own local leaders and the projects that they support; they learn about the projects and community issues, and in turn are able to educate their travellers and inspire them to make a donation. Manch is an Ambassador for Conscious Capitalism Australia and is a regular speaker on sustainable business issues in Australia and around the world.     This interview offers some great insights to people in business who are curious about what a truly purposeful organisation looks like and the relationship between purpose and profit.   Please forgive my enthusiastic use of the words “I love...” throughout this interview. Appropriate, given the podcast theme, but I realise I may need to measure my genuine love for the actions of these businesses who are leading the way, so I don't end up inspiring the eye-roll effect!! Bear with me as I develop my podcast interviewing skills please.   We cover a lot of ground in this interview and there are some great topics we get into. Some of these are highlighted below. Core Purpose vs Higher Purpose of Intrepid Travel The origins of Intrepid Travel and their “Responsible Travel” approach  Intrepid's approach to animal welfare in tourism and how they've become “the elephant experts” How women's-only tours in Iran, Morocco and Turkey help to change the way people see the world The impact of the pandemic on Intrepid Travel's business and Geoff's view of the impact of the pandemic on the travel industry long-term Intrepid's leadership, advocacy and support for climate action within the travel industry Regenerative tourism, the evolution of sustainable tourism How Intrepid's purpose and approach to business attracts likeminded people to their team who are invested in the organisation's success The direct correlation between Intrepid's purposeful activities and their growth and profit   Here are the links I promised in the interview: A link to Intrepid's Annual Report – enjoy! https://www.intrepidtravel.com/au/intrepid-annual-report-2020 World Travel & Tourism Council and Harvard T.H.

Twenty-five years ago, two mates took a bunch of friends and an ex-council truck from Australia and travelled throughout Africa. This was the germination of Intrepid Travel, a responsible travel business that now has six specialist tour operators and 17 destination-management companies employing more than 1500 staff in 25 offices around the world. Each year, they take over 250,000 travellers to more than 100 countries on all seven continents. My guest today is Geoff Manchester, one of the two mates who co-founded Intrepid Travel with the aim of creating experiences that benefit all stakeholders: travellers, staff, communities and the environment. The conversation starts with Geoff explaining why Conscious Capitalism and becoming a certified B Corp is important to him and Intrepid Travel. From there, we go on to discuss: How Intrepid Travel got started and what pivoted them towards responsible travelling The four pillars of conscious capitalism: Purpose beyond profit Stakeholder orientation Conscious Leadership: Leading from behind Culture: “Culture eats strategy for breakfast” Managing people from different countries with different cultures within the Conscious Capitalism framework Recruiting for culture versus recruiting for skill Choosing which social projects to support Partnerships The three main hurdles Intrepid Travel has faced Geoff’s tips for people wanting to start their business as a responsible entity Quotes “The four pillars of conscious capitalism really reflect our business.” @GeoffManchester “Companies will need to become B Corporations because B Corp certification will assist the consumer to decide who they want to spend their money with.” – @GeoffManchester “Conscious leadership is much more about leading from behind.” – @GeoffManchester “Give people the understanding that they can think for themselves.” @GeoffManchester “Be focused on getting culturally correct people because you can teach them the skills you need.” @GeoffManchester “Keeping up with the technology involves a huge investment all the time, and it never seems to stop.” @GeoffManchester “It’s not a matter of going to new countries but a matter of doing new styles of travel.” @GeoffManchester Episode Resources Intrepid Travel Twitter @GeoffManchester Twitter @Intrepid_Travel Instagram, Facebook, and Pinterest Intrepid Foundation Conscious Capitalism B Corporation free assessment tool Firms of Endearment by Raj Sisodia Everybody Matters: The Extraordinary Power of Caring for Your People Like Family by Bob Chapman & Raj Sisodia The B Corp Handbook: How to Use Business as a Force for Good by Ryan Honeyman Seven Women The skincare social enterprise mentioned – Metta Natural Skincare.

Think long term – and don’t compromise for the short-term gain. When taking on partnerships, pay attention to the culture and make sure your values are aligned. And finally I really love the research, outlined in book Firms of Endearment, that found conscious businesses significantly outlast and outperform those that don’t adopt these philosophies.  my email contact hello[at]thetoxicfox.com  Gratitude – I am very grateful to… Music: Sung by Vince Jones   Old Mother Earth Knows  Modern Folk  link  Written by Horace Silver support team: Tim Hallowell
