With Dave Fatula, owner of Guineafowl Adventure Company

10.17.25 | Skills | 47 min

Join us for a conversation on the many benefits of the outdoors with Dave Fatula, founder of Guineafowl Adventure Company in the Greater Boston area. After two decades in private equity and real estate finance, Dave realized during the pandemic that he needed a change—and turned his lifelong love of the outdoors into a full-service adventure company.

We explore how nature supported Dave’s own mental health and why he believes everyone deserves access to the healing power of the outdoors. Dave shares stories of creating unstructured play spaces for kids and adults, helping people disconnect from screens, and fostering real human connection on the trail. He also reflects on his own experience of feeling “stuck” and how honoring those cues led him to take a leap toward a life filled with purpose, perspective, and adventure. And be sure to listen until the end, when Dave shares his gutsiest moment in a vulnerable and heartfelt way.
