Robert Bruce founded Got to Get Out, a social enterprise adventure group based out of Auckland. After being made redundant from his own company, he had an epiphany while hiking in Nepal and realised the importance of the outdoors for social and mental wellbeing. We talk about the shift from corporate hustle to running over 800 events, including hiking, rock climbing, skiing, canyoning, biking and running. Rob has been on almost every event, serving over 14,000 attendees in the last eight years of Got to Get Out. He shares some of the growing pains and challenges experienced, what's coming up next, the importance of whanaungatanga and aroha and his journey to sobriety. Through Got to Get Out, the outdoors is more accessible for people of all experience levels and is an incredible way to build community and meet like minded people.
