Have you ever wondered what it takes to turn a passion for travel and adventure into a successful business? In this episode Rose sits down with Paul Aubert, the visionary founder of Noovo Vans. Paul and his dedicated team of entrepreneurs have created a thriving business that began with a spirit of adventure and the creation of Natasha, their legendary hotel bus. Natasha has journeyed through 16 countries, carried 60 eager adventurers, and covered an astonishing 26,000 miles across the Americas, setting the stage for what would become Noovo Vans. Paul shares his inspiring journey from that first epic road trip to building a business known for its high-quality, custom van conversions. We delve into the unique design process, the importance of customer satisfaction, and the innovative approaches that keep Noovo Vans ahead in the competitive market. Paul also opens up about the challenges and triumphs of entrepreneurship, offering valuable advice for anyone looking to start their own business in the RV or van conversion industry. Whether you're a van life enthusiast, an aspiring entrepreneur, or simply curious about the creative process behind these amazing vans, this episode is packed with insights and inspiration. GUEST BIO: Originally from France, Paul embarked on a memorable van trip from San Diego to Buenos Aires, a journey that not only deepened his passion for exploration but also set the stage for Noovo. This adventure, shared with his friends and future co-founders (Benoit and Antoine), inspired them to reimagine the concept of travel, blending the essence of comfort with the spirit of adventure. With a background that marries his French heritage to his love for the open road, Paul has been instrumental in guiding Noovo's design philosophy, ensuring that each campervan embodies beauty, sustainable comfortable living and the thrill of discovery. At the heart of Noovo, under Paul's leadership, lies not just the craftsmanship of campervans but the cultivation of stories on wheels, fostering a community where each journey is an adventure shared. Paul's journey from the picturesque landscapes of Central and South America to the innovative designs of Noovo campervans reflects his belief in a life well-traveled, where home is truly wherever you park it.

Historically, people of color have been underepresented in the RVing and outdoor industries. The reason may surprise you. And, Earl B. Hunter, Jr. is on a mission to change that. Earl created Black Folks Camp Too after a cross country RV trip with his son where they saw exactly one other black family RVing. This is changing, partly due to the work he's doing with the Unity Blaze campaign. The Unity Blaze Way is how campgrounds, outdoor industry brands, and RVers can initiate change to foster inclusiveness in camping, for everyone. It all begins with understanding why black people have traditionally avoided camping in the woods. Tune in to discover the facts behind generational fear, lack of inclusion, and the steps we can all take toward more inclusivity outdoors.
