Matt Spencer is living a life full of adventure. On this episode we chat about how he got into river guiding, first in Colorado and then in Africa on the Zambezi River (even though he was initially scared of water) and then talk about his other adventures in the developing world, working for Americorps and moving to New Zealand. We also have a conversation on dams and whether or not they belong on certain rivers that once ran wild and discuss how people can overcome imposter syndrome in the outdoors.
