April 16, 2020 Ep 8 - Marc Bekoff - The Inner Lives Of Animals
Marc Bekoff is professor emeritus of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of Colorado

He is also an ambassador for Jane Goodall's international Roots & Shoots program, in which he works with students of all ages, senior citizens, and prisoners and co-chair of the Ethics Committee of the Jane Goodall Institute.
Additionally, Marc & Jane co-founded the organization Ethologists for the Ethical Treatment of Animals: Citizens for Responsible Animal Behavior Studies in 2000.

Marc's main areas of research have included animal behavior, cognitive ethology (the study of animal minds), behavioral ecology, and compassionate conservation.
His research and writing reflect his on-going and eclectic interests that center on the basic tenets of compassionate conservation, namely, "First do no harm" and the life of every individual matter because they are alive and have intrinsic value, not because of what they can do for us.

Marc and I chatted about his upcoming project, about dogs and what they would do if one day we would disappear (as a thought experiment), animal behavior & emotions and some misconceptions people have about puppy mills & other topics.

Marc is really a trailblazer in his field and it was a pleasure having him on the show to share in some of the knowledge he has.

April 13, 2020 Ep 7 Jeremy Wade - Social Impact
Jeremy Wade has been in India for the last 8 years and is currently the founding director of the Jindal Centre for Social Innovation + Entrepreneurship, he's also the co-founder of Armadillo Digital.

Jeremy focuses on social impact investing. What this means is investments made into companies, organizations, and funds with the intention to generate a measurable, beneficial social or environmental impact alongside a financial return.

I do believe this model is a roadmap that many VC's & entrepreneurs will use in the future, good business strategy can and should improve lives not harm them and Jeremy believes that is the future of entrepreneurship

I had a great chat with Jeremy, so have a listen and enjoy the podcast!

April 06, 2020 Ep 6 - Mark Beaumont - A Relentless Pursuit
Mark is an ultra-endurance athlete, he holds the world record for cycling around the world in 78 days.
Mark has also cycled the Americas, Africa and has many other expeditions under his belt.

It was great to catch up with him and learn about his mindset during these endeavors, how he came to be an ultra-endurance athlete and his current state of mind during the Covid19 crisis.

Early on we speak about how having "no boundaries" and being a bit "different" was the spark that Mark needed to try things that were outside the box and that eventually & gradually led him to experiment with bigger and bigger pursuits.

March 30, 2020 Ep 5 Jonas Deichmann - The Art of Never Giving Up
Jonas Deichmann is an ultra-endurance cyclist & speaker.

Jonas is one of those people that you can't help but be inspired by, he has a 'never give up' type of mentality. He does this not for fame or fortune but for the love of the challenge and the sport.

He became the first person to cross Eurasia by human power and set the World Records for the fastest cycling across Europe and Eurasia.

Currently, Jonas is preparing for a new challenge in 2020. It is going to be harder, longer and much more challenging than anything he has done before.

We had a few issues with the connection so we, unfortunately, had to end the podcast a bit early, but we said we will definitely do a follow-up podcast in the future.
Enjoy the podcast. ]

John Gooden is a commentator for the UFC, he does most of the international shows that the organization puts on.
He is also a strong nominee for the nicest bloke (man, in American) I've talked to but perhaps it's the accent.
We spoke about the MMA world in general and the UFC specifically and how he came to work for the biggest organization in MMA after years of working for his dad.
We spoke about how hard work is the only way to fulfill your dreams in the age of social media and like culture.
John is a solid example of how hard work and perfecting your craft eventually pay off and I hope you guys enjoy the episode as much as I did.
