Andrew Malcolm is a passionate wildlife documentarian filmmaker dedicated to transforming storytelling into impactful conservation efforts. His collaborations with the Wildlife Emergency Fund and several South African conservation groups have led to the creation of the compelling documentary series, “Saving Giants”, shedding light on the challenges faced by conservationists as they embark on daring initiatives designed to save Africa’s remaining iconic species.  

Andrew's intriguing foray into documentary filmmaking stemmed from his curiosity about millennials' travel trends. His quest to unravel complex narratives kindled a passion that led to meeting elephants and eventually sharing environmental conservation through his storytelling craft. 

The Emotional World of Elephants: What Their Empathy Teaches Us About Protecting All Life: As Andrew reveals his intricate relationship with elephants, he beckons us into their emotional realm. It's a journey that uncovers lessons about how their empathy can guide us in preserving all forms of life. 

Our podcast episode also explores Andrew's life journey, delving into personal and professional experiences along with touching on his health challenges and a life-changing encounter with elephants. Throughout the episode, Andrew's inspiring desire to make every moment count shines through. 

But what I also want you to hear is Andrew’s inspiring passion to exist, to fully immerse in the act of LIVING. To not take Life for granted. To cherish the fleeting nature of time, we have. here. And to contribute constructively towards enhancing our collective existence and making the world a better place. 

I've had the privilege of conducting countless interviews and sharing numerous stories. Each story weaves a unique thread into the rich tapestry of life, leaving an unforgettable impression. And some stories, like the one we're about to delve into, serve as profound reminders of the preciousness of life. That kind of story is one that speaks straight to the heart.

As we explore inspiring, remarkable stories, our aim would be to listen from our heart to be able to grasp their core, to comprehend their essence. By focusing your ears to your heart, a strong connection with the narrative pulse of the story can be established, offering a chance for insights. When you let your heart lead your ears, you find yourself connecting with the pulse of a story in a way that changes your life profoundly. Let yourself begin to catch the unique rhythm of the narrative heart of a person’s story, which will then uncover layers of genuine depth and connection that will leave you profoundly moved.  

It may take you a moment to sync to its vibrations, but once you learn to listen from the heart and tune into the rhythm, you'll find that the story unfolds before you, revealing rich and profound layers of connection. This will unveil a multifaceted tapestry of connection, which will help you explore deeper levels of understanding and meaning. 

A really inspiring story isn’t to be rushed. This is one of those stories…

What I invite you to hear is the underlying current throughout these narratives is Andrew's burning desire to live each day to its fullest, and to play a meaningful role in making our world a better place. And his aim is to leave an enduring legacy - a legacy that will resonate through time, fostering a more compassionate world. 

I opted for the video format over audio-only because I feel there is a unique depth to this interaction with Andrew. His thoughtful and measured manner is clearly evident; each question asked is absorbed and reflected upon carefully. Often, there is a mindful pause before he responds, which underlines his authenticity and heartfelt sincerity.
