We had the good fortune of connecting with Joshua Silver and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Joshua, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
The story of the Outside Project Group (The Outside Project) is an inspiring one. The Outside Project was created by Joshua Silver in Melbourne Australia.

What started out as a passion project and creative outlet, rapidly evolved into a prominent online community. Since then the Outside Project has become a globally recognized media company behind the content and digital campaigns for major outdoor and travel brands in Australia, USA and Canada. Namely, Park Hyatt, Aftershoks, The Weather Channel, GlampingHub to name a few. Alongside the agency, one of the most innovative ideas of The Outside Project is an “Explorer Program”.
