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

Hi Maverick, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
I wanted to share the things me and my kids enjoy with others. Give tips and tricks we learn, share neat or unusual things that make places more interesting.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
I am the director of security for a trucking company. A single father of 2. Run my travel blog and recently started my collectibles store.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Part of this depends on the time of year. If Spring, the Arizona Renaissance would definitely be part of it. If summer, Phoenix Fan Fusion. If Fall Fear Farm and other local haunted houses.

Medieval Times in Scottsdale, Scale and Feather Meadery in Avondale are good spots.

Ghost Ship bar at the Grand. The Room Az escape rooms.

With a week maybe even run to Vegas for nightmare cafe and the haunted emporium tea room.

Or to Tombstone and Bisbee for a Western experience and haunted ghost tours.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
Generally my friends and family who go on adventures with me. And really every event or attraction that we visit.
