Meet Matty and the podcast that's redefining Australian outdoor and adventure culture

If you haven't discovered the Zero Limits Podcast yet, you're in for a treat. Hosted by the passionate and energetic Matty, Zero Limits is one of Australia's most compelling adventure and lifestyle podcasts — a show built around real stories from real people who have pushed themselves beyond what they thought possible. From elite athletes and military veterans to everyday adventurers who have done extraordinary things, Matty has a rare gift for drawing out the kind of honest, raw, and deeply inspiring conversations that stay with you long after the episode ends.

The podcast grew from a simple but powerful idea — that there are incredible stories all around us, waiting to be told. Since launching in March 2021, Zero Limits has built a dedicated and passionate community of listeners who tune in for the authentic, unfiltered conversations that you simply don't find anywhere else. If you love the outdoors, adventure, and the kind of stories that make you want to lace up your boots and go do something great — this is the podcast for you.

Episode 87 — Dave Parker, 2nd Commando Regiment, Australian Special Forces

Episode 87 of the Zero Limits Podcast is one that hit close to home for us here at PAST Outdoors — because the guest is none other than our very own Dave Parker, founder and CEO of PAST Outdoors.

Dave's story is one that deserves to be heard. A former operator with the 2nd Commando Regiment — one of Australia's most elite special forces units — Dave joined the army reserves in 1999 and went on to serve in some of the most demanding and high-pressure environments imaginable. In this episode, Matty and Dave sit down for a deeply personal and wide-ranging conversation that covers Dave's military career, the mental and physical demands of special forces service, and how those extraordinary experiences shaped the person — and the business owner — he is today.

It's an honest, inspiring, and at times deeply moving conversation that gives a rare insight into what it truly means to serve at the highest level — and what life looks like on the other side of it. Whether you're a longtime Zero Limits listener or discovering the podcast for the first time, this is an episode we cannot recommend highly enough.
