My guest today is George Benjamin. 

George is a full-time wildlife photographer. Half of every year he travels the world and can be found in the wilderness but somehow, he still finds time to tweet and hang out on web3 almost daily. That’s what I call commitment. You may have seen a lot of wildlife photos, but I bet you have never seen anything like what George creates. He can portray animals in a way that makes you realize that these beings have a consciousness, and a story to tell. George also has created the NFT CONSERVATION FUND, a grant-based program to support creatives and scientist within the conservation sector. George is providing grants by using a part of his revenue generated from NFT sales. By buying George’s art, you are directly contributing to the fund and to the protection of nature. You can find his works on SuperRare and Foundation. Today, George is joining me to talk about his art and his unique approach to make a difference in this world.
