Därifrån började Lars, Karin och Mikael sin spännande resa.En: From there, Lars, Karin, and Mikael began their exciting journey.Sv: Den här gruppen hade bestämt sig för att se det stora naturfenomenet: norrskenet.En: This group had decided to witness the great natural phenomenon: the northern lights.Sv: Lars, med sin rastlösa nyfikenhet och kamera i handen, var fast besluten att fånga den perfekta bilden.En: Lars, with his restless curiosity and camera in hand, was determined to capture the perfect shot.Sv: Men vägen dit var full av utmaningar.En: But the road there was full of challenges.Sv: Karin, vars sinne alltid var inställt på säkerhet, hade noggrant planerat deras rutt.En: Karin, whose mind was always set on safety, had meticulously planned their route.Sv: Hon kände oron stiga när väderrapporten plötsligt varnade för kraftiga snöstormar.En: She felt her anxiety rise when the weather forecast suddenly warned of heavy snowstorms.Sv: Mikael, med öga för detaljer och kärlek till vetenskap, log bakom sina glasögon, fascinerad av denna möjlighet att studera himlens spektakel.En: Mikael, with an eye for detail and a love for science, smiled behind his glasses, fascinated by this opportunity to study the spectacle of the sky.Sv: Bilen deras körde fram genom det vidsträckta snölandskapet.En: Their car drove forward through the vast snowy landscape.Sv: Lars, i sin iver, föreslog att avvika från den planerade vägen för att hitta en bättre utsiktsplats.En: Lars, in his eagerness, suggested deviating from the planned route to find a better viewing spot.Sv: "Det finns alltid en chans för något större där borta!"En: "There's always a chance for something greater over there!"Sv: utbrast han, pekande mot horisonten.En: he exclaimed, pointing toward the horizon.Sv: Karin suckade.En: Karin sighed.Sv: "Det kan vara farligt, Lars.En: "It could be dangerous, Lars.Sv: Vi borde hålla oss till planen."En: We should stick to the plan."Sv: Men Lars lyssnade inte.En: But Lars didn't listen.Sv: Bilen svängde av och de fortsatte mot okänd terräng.En: The car turned off and they continued into unknown territory.Sv: Himlen ovanför var en tom duk, redo att målas i färger av magi.En: The sky above was a blank canvas, ready to be painted in colors of magic.Sv: Men allt förändrades när snö började falla tätt och vinden tjöt omkring dem.En: But everything changed when snow began to fall thickly, and the wind howled around them.Sv: Plötsligt hördes ett knaster följt av ett stön från motorn.En: Suddenly, a crackle was heard followed by a groan from the engine.Sv: Bilen stannade.En: The car stopped.Sv: De var strandade mitt i detta vita öde.En: They were stranded in the midst of this white wilderness.Sv: Mikael steg ut, skakande av kylan, och började undersöka motorn.En: Mikael stepped out, trembling from the cold, and began to examine the engine.Sv: "Det ser illa ut.En: "It looks bad.Sv: Vi har problem med batteriet," sa han.En: We have a problem with the battery," he said.Sv: Nattens mörker började falla när en lösning var brådskande.En: Night's darkness began to fall as a solution was urgently needed.Sv: Gruppen satt tillsammans i bilen, andades ut i frosten och väntade.En: The group sat together in the car, exhaling into the frost and waiting.Sv: Men när spänningen var som störst, sprack himlen upp i färger och ljus.En: But when the tension was at its peak, the sky burst open in colors and light.Sv: Ett fantastiskt skådespel av gröna och rosa vågor dansade över dem.En: A magnificent display of green and pink waves danced above them.Sv: Lars lyfte sin kamera, men insåg snart att de saknade den elektricitet som behövdes.En: Lars lifted his camera but soon realized they lacked the electricity needed.Sv: Istället stirrade han i vördnad.En: Instead, he stared in awe.Sv: "Det här är otroligt," viskade han.En: "This is incredible," he whispered.Sv: "Jag borde ha lyssnat på er."En: "I should have listened to you all."Sv: De började signalera för hjälp genom att använda bilens nödljus och sina telefoner som ficklampsignaler.En: They began signaling for help by using the car's emergency lights and their phones as flashlight signals.Sv: Till slut, när hoppet nästan försvunnit, visade sig en snöskoter från laboratoriet på avstånd.En: Finally, when hope had nearly vanished, a snowmobile from the laboratory appeared in the distance.Sv: Forskarteamet hade fått deras signaler och kom för att rädda dem.En: The research team had received their signals and came to rescue them.Sv: När de kom tillbaka till säkerheten i laboratoriet, reflekterade Lars.En: When they returned to the safety of the laboratory, Lars reflected.Sv: "Jag har lärt mig en viktig läxa," sade han med ett litet leende.En: "I've learned an important lesson," he said with a small smile.Sv: "Ingen expedition är komplett utan bra planering och lagarbete."En: "No expedition is complete without good planning and teamwork."Sv: Karin och Mikael log tillbaka.En: Karin and Mikael smiled back.Sv: Tillsammans i det tysta laboratoriet, kände de en gemenskap som bara kunde bildas genom delade prövningar och triumfer.En: Together in the quiet laboratory, they felt a camaraderie that could only be formed through shared trials and triumphs.Sv: Och även om Lars inte lyckades fånga sitt perfekta foto, hade de alla bevittnat något som fick deras hjärtan att lysa klarare än norrskenet självt.En: And even though Lars didn't manage to capture his perfect photo, they had all witnessed something that made their hearts shine brighter than the northern lights themselves.

How do you capture the perfect image of a white bird against a snowy landscape when you can barely see them with your own eyes? For Magnus, a wildlife photographer living at the edge of the Arctic Circle in northern Sweden, the answer lies in embracing both cutting-edge technology and ancient survival techniques.Magnus's story begins with burnout. After devoting over a decade to his mining industry business, working 12-16 hour days, he reached a breaking point. "I realized I'm not growing as a person anymore," he shares with disarming honesty. A forced business setback became the catalyst for rediscovering his passion for photography and the natural world. What began as personal rehabilitation transformed into a thriving business offering guided photo tours through pristine wilderness areas virtually unknown to outsiders.Unlike heavily promoted destinations in neighboring countries, northern Sweden's vast national parks—collectively larger than Belgium—remain largely undiscovered by international photographers. This offers Magnus and his clients the increasingly rare opportunity to capture truly unique images of untouched landscapes. "Everyone's searching for something that hasn't been taken yet," he explains, describing the photographer's ultimate quest.The conversation takes a fascinating turn when Magnus reveals how thermal imaging technology has revolutionized wildlife photography. Originally developed for industrial applications and later adopted by hunters, thermal devices allow photographers to locate and approach animals without disturbance. In the challenging Arctic environment, where traditional optics fail against the blinding white landscape, thermal vision reveals hidden wildlife through their body heat. "With the thermals, you can look for hours if you want. You don't get tired in the eyes, and you have so much more easy to find the birds," Magnus explains.Perhaps most thought-provoking is Magnus's nuanced perspective on using traditional fur gloves and clothing in extreme Arctic conditions. Facing criticism online, he thoughtfully explains how these materials come from sustainably hunted local animals used primarily for food. "The skin is a leftover product. We try to use everything from that animal," he notes, challenging simplistic views on this complex topic.Ready to experience the Arctic through a different lens? Follow Magnus's photography journey and discover how he captures extraordinary images in one of the world's most extreme environments. Whether you're a dedicated photographer or simply fascinated by human adaptation and natural beauty, this conversation will transform how you see the wilderness.https://www.winbjork.com/   _____________________________________________________________________________________ Thinking about doing the PDS1 or PDS2 use the link below.https://www.shootingandhuntingacademy.co.uk/link/6f1QuV  Using this link above you will get a Free PDS1 Shooting assessment with myself in scotland   Support the showInstagram https://www.instagram.com/the_outdoor_gibbon/

A Canadian activist remembers her friend Awdah Hathaleen. The Palestinian father, teacher and activist ... who helped film the Oscar-winning documentary "No Other Land" ... was killed in the occupied West Bank this week. Tuktoyaktuk, a hamlet north of the Arctic Circle, is already on the small side. But it's getting even smaller ... and its mayor says climate change is to blame. A group of swimmers is completing the final trip of the SS Edmund Fitzgerald in honour of its crew. One of them tells us about the surreal experience of being in the water above the wreckage. Dan Pelzer kept a record of every single book he ever read ... from 1962 right up until his death. His daughter says reading was a powerful constant in his life. A Manitoba man doesn't know who's been putting up billboards around town announcing he's terrible at fishing, but he's found an impressively charitable angle on their prank. A French resort town is reminding visitors that clothing is not optional once you leave the beach ... with the introduction of fines for those wearing bathing suits or going shirtless in town.As It Happens, the Tuesday Edition. Radio that encourages travelers to read the fines print.

In this episode, we continue our look at the changing Arctic, this time from the perspectives of Arctic and European states.The region is undergoing rapid transformation. While this brings challenges for Arctic communities, it also raises broader questions: about international cooperation, environmental responsibility, and the Arctic's growing geopolitical and scientific importance.As large parts of the Arctic Ocean open, the region is emerging as a new frontier: economically, scientifically, and politically. So, what does the future of the Arctic look like?This conversation brought together:Petteri Vuorimäki: Arctic Ambassador, Ministry of Foreign Affairs of FinlandPiotr Rychlik: Ambassador for Arctic and Antarctic Affairs, Ministry of Foreign Affairs of PolandAgostino Pinna: Special Envoy for the Arctic, Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation of ItalyModerating the Session was Samir Saran, President of the Observer Research Foundation.This conversation was recorded live at the Arctic Circle India Forum, held in New Delhi on May 3–4, 2025, and is part of the Polar Dialogue.Arctic Circle is the largest network of international dialogue and cooperation on the future of the Arctic.

Send us a textVeteran journalist Pam LeBlanc takes us behind the scenes of her remarkable journey from newspaper columnist to freelance adventure writer in this captivating conversation about authentic outdoor storytelling and responsible tourism. After 32 years in newspapers, Pam made the leap to freelance writing in 2018, focusing exclusively on the muddy, mosquito-bitten adventures that fuel her passion for nature."I only want to write about stuff that I have personally experienced myself and I can write about with authority," Pam explains, setting herself apart from writers who compile stories from behind desks. This philosophy has taken her scuba diving with 200 hammerhead sharks in the Galapagos, rappelling down 38-story buildings, dog sledding above the Arctic Circle in Sweden and hiking through the normally inaccessible Santa Elena Canyon during drought conditions.While Pam's byline appears in prestigious publications like Condé Nast Traveler and Texas Monthly, she remains particularly proud of her work highlighting the natural wonders of Texas. She shares thoughtful perspectives on responsible tourism, encouraging travelers to respect local cultures, seek out less-crowded alternatives to Instagram-famous destinations, use public transportation when possible and always be mindful of environmental impact.Perhaps most inspirational is Pam's advice for "injecting adventure into everyday life." Her number one tip? "Get your hair wet." This simple phrase encapsulates her philosophy that too many people, especially women, watch adventures from the sidelines rather than fully participating. At 61, she leads by example through her active lifestyle and upcoming trips to France, Colorado and Antarctica, proving age is no barrier to adventure.Discover more about Pam's adventures and follow her journey at PamLeBlancAdventures.com or AustinTravels.com. Whether you're planning your next outdoor expedition or simply seeking inspiration to step outside your comfort zone, Pam's stories will ignite your sense of adventure and appreciation for the natural world.Please take a moment to rate, review and subscribe to the Media in Minutes podcast here or anywhere you get your podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/media-in-minutes/id1555710662 

Historians have floated a half-dozen theories for why Viking Greenland settlements suddenly vanished in the 1300s and 1400s, after nearly 500 years of occupation. Was it climate change, the Black Death, even bad farming habits learned in Scandinavia?But what if…it all came down to walrus ivory? It turns out that walrus tusks during the Viking and Middle Ages fuelled a long-distance trade network that stretched from Inuit hunters far above the Arctic Circle to churches and royalty in cities as far flung as Novgorod, Kyiv and Cologne. Now, using ancient DNA and isotope analysis, archaeologists have shown that virtually all these tusks came from Greenland!And then suddenly, the market collapsed. What happened?Today's show looks at how everything from cutting edge technology to dogged footwork has allowed researchers to piece together the details of the global walrus trade a thousand years back in time. They're also using this window into the past to better understand walruses themselves, to make predictions about the future of walruses in a warming world.My guests on today's show are James Barrett, professor of medieval and environmental archaeology at the NTNU University Museum, and Katrien Dierickx and Erin Kunisch, postdocs with James and the 4-Oceans project.Here's a link to the NTNU University Museum's new exhibit on the walrus tusk trade, Sea Ivories. The exhibition includes the Wingfield-Digby Crozier, from the Victoria & Albert Museum, plus several Lewis Chessmen, from the British Museum.Here's a link to photos and a description of a Romanesque walrus ivory carving, the Cloisters Cross. Here's a link to a Gothic-style carving of elephant ivory.Here are some relevant academic articles:Barrett, James; Boessenkool, Sanne; Kneale, Catherine; O'Connell, Tamsin C; Star, Bastiaan.

Should we invest in one of the world's most remote and resource-rich regions?The Arctic has the potential to feed the world with healthy, nutritious seafood, provide the raw materials essential to the sustainable transition, and power societies with both conventional and renewable energy. But unlocking that potential requires closing a massive infrastructure gap. From roads and ports to energy facilities and digital connectivity, more than $1 trillion is estimated to be needed to fully develop the region. Done right, this could create quality jobs, boost local economies, and strengthen Arctic communities.In this panel discussion, we ask: is it worth it?At the table are:Heidar Gudjonsson, CEO of Ursus InvestmentsConstance Chalchat, Chief Sustainability Officer, BNP Paribas CIB & Global MarketsMikki Jensen, Director of South Innovation GreenlandThis session is moderated by Mads Qvist Frederiksen, Executive Director of the Arctic Economic Council, and was recorded live at the 2024 Arctic Circle Business Forum.Arctic Circle is the largest network of international dialogue and cooperation on the future of the Arctic.

The Cinematography Podcast Episode 314: Luke Cormack For cinematographer Luke Cormack, filming the National Geographic series David Blaine: Do Not Attempt was an exercise in capturing the raw, unscripted moments of human connection and extraordinary feats. Luke leaned into his experience as a wildlife documentarian to patiently wait for the perfect, instinctual moments to unfold. The goal was not to capture polished performances, but the raw, visceral reactions from Blaine and the people he encountered on his global journey. “David's not an actor or a host. We would have to create these 'biospheres of spontaneity.' So he can just get in there and be his most genuine self without you ever saying, 'Oh, stop, David. Can you do that again?' That just doesn't work at all,” says Luke. “You have to constantly be looking for those little pieces of magic and those pieces of magic are usually when you're setting something up or your eye isn't on the ball.” David Blaine: Do Not Attempt is not about magic, but about finding people in cultures around the world who perform real, extraordinary feats that look like magic. The series follows Blaine as he travels to nine countries, including Brazil, India, and Japan, and learns about their unique skills, lifting the veil behind those tricks. For the documentary crew, capturing this "magic" required a dedication to true verité techniques. This involved location scouting to determine optimal camera placements that would feel both intimate and unobtrusive. The producers also prepared the local performers for Blaine's arrival, allowing for natural, unscripted interactions. Luke's strategy often involved a subtle deception. He would keep the cameras rolling long after a scene appeared to have wrapped, patiently waiting for the "in-between moments" that often yielded the most candid footage. “That true verité, I feel like that's where we got all our nuggets. We'd often put everyone at ease as you actually pretend to stop filming,” he says. “When everyone thinks you've got the scene, you just keep rolling. And you kind of look away from the viewfinder a little bit, maybe relax your body language, and that's usually when he'll turn around and say something amazing.” This philosophy of patient observation required the camera crew to be constantly vigilant, nimble, and able to blend into the background. The use of lower-profile Ronin 4D cameras was key to allowing the crew to navigate large crowds without drawing attention. To elevate the visual storytelling, Luke chose high-end prime and zoom lenses. He hired special crews for high-stakes sequences, such as filming with sharks underwater in South Africa or skydiving in the Arctic Circle. The crew's collaboration was often wordless, staying present and dedicated to capturing authentic interactions. They relied almost exclusively on natural light, repositioning themselves to find the most flattering illumination rather than directing the subjects. The unpredictable nature of Blaine's performances in public spaces also meant that the crew had to be prepared for anything. “We traveled to nine different countries and a lot of it is crowd control,” Luke explains. “Like once you blow someone's mind and they're standing there with a group of 10, it becomes a group of 50 very quickly. And then you're trying to get your shots and get in there and try and get the magic of it. But the whole time, you still have to keep your head on a swivel, have an exit strategy, realize that crowds can get dangerous really quickly, depending on where you are.” This constant state of readiness, combined with a commitment to capturing authentic, unrehearsed moments, allowed Luke and his team to document the genuine wonder, fear, and awe that defines David Blaine: Do Not Attempt.

In this episode, Grandmother Helen Lindmark (Sámi Indigenous People, Sápmi) shares her deep connection to the land and the Sámi way of life. The Sámi people inhabit Sápmi—a vast, remote region that spans Sweden, Finland, Norway, and Russia's Kola Peninsula—located within the Arctic Circle and rich in minerals like copper and gold. Because of this, their lands and communities have long been threatened by extractive industries and colonial forces that have sought to suppress their language and cultural traditions. Today, the Sámi are the only Indigenous people recognized within the European Union.Despite these challenges, Grandmother Helen continues to defend the sacred relationship between her people, their land, and the more-than-human world. Through silence and the practice of deep listening to the language of nature, she reminds us of the importance of returning to our roots and recognizing our profound interconnectedness.

Irish musician, Kate Hearne, joined Dermot today and spoke about why people love the recorder and what it's like to live in the extremely remote Swedish lap land 200 km north of the Arctic circle. She'll be performing at the West Cork Chamber Music Festival running from 27th June- 6th July.

In this episode, we reflect on how science diplomacy can bridge divides and build trust across regions.

Thanks to Owen and Aksel, and Dylan and Emily for their suggestions this week! Further reading: Where did the unicorn myth come from? The narwhal is my favorite whale: Show transcript: Welcome to Strange Animals Podcast. I'm your host, Kate Shaw. This week we're going to look at an animal suggested by Owen and Aksel, and a related suggestion by Dylan and Emily. Owen and Aksel suggested we talk about the narwhal, which we haven't really discussed since episode 5 even though it's one of my favorite animals. Dylan and Emily suggested we learn about animals that might have inspired legends of the unicorn. These two topics are definitely linked! The narwhal is a toothed whale, but it doesn't have very many teeth—in fact, most narwhals don't have any teeth at all. It swallows its food whole and doesn't need to chew, mostly small fish but also squid and other small animals. Male narwhals do have one tooth, a tusk that can be almost 10 feet long, or over 3 meters. The tusk is a spiral shape, developed from what would have been the left canine tooth, but instead of growing downward like a regular tooth, it grows forward, directly through the front of the lip. A lot of times people get confused and think the tusk is a horn that grows from the narwhal's forehead, and that's mainly because the narwhal is closely related to the unicorn legend. That sounds weird at first, since the narwhal is a whale that can grow up to 18 feet long, or 5.5 meters, and lives in cold waters of the Arctic Circle. The unicorn is supposed to be a horse-like animal with a spiral horn growing from its forehead, although it's also sometimes depicted as more goatlike in appearance, with cloven hooves and a little beard. It also usually has a long tail with a tuft at the end like a donkey or zebra. In the olden days in Europe, the unicorn's single spiral horn was supposed to have curative properties. If you ground up a little bit of the horn, known as alicorn, people thought it acted as a medicine to cure you of poisoning or other ailments. The alicorn was actually the tusk of the narwhal, but traders claimed it was a unicorn horn because they could charge more for it. The legend of the unicorn having a long spiral horn doesn't come from ancient stories, it comes from the appearance of the narwhal's tusk. The narwhal is as mysterious as the unicorn in its own way. In fact, the narwhal seems a lot less plausibly real than a unicorn and a lot of people actually don't realize it's a real animal. The biggest question about the narwhal is what its tusk is used for. Most males have one, and occasionally a male will grow two tusks. Most females don't have one, although about 15% of females will grow a tusk, usually smaller than the male's. Females live longer than males on average, so obviously the tusk isn't helping males survive. Most scientists assume that it's just a way for males to attract mates. But the narwhal's tusk seems to be useful for more than just decoration. It contains high concentrations of nerve endings, and scientists think it might help the whale sense a lot of information about the water around it. Narwhals have been observed smacking fish with their tusks to stun them, so that the whale can slurp them up more easily. And even though it's technically a tooth, the narwhal's tusk can bend up to a foot, or about 30 cm, in any direction without breaking. The narwhal is pale gray in color with darker gray or brown dapples, but like gray horses, many narwhals get paler as they age. Old individuals can appear pure white. This can make them easy to confuse with another small whale that's closely related, the beluga, which shares other characteristics with the narwhal. The beluga is white, has a small rounded head and doesn't have a dorsal fin, and has a neck so that it can bend it head around. Most whales have lost the ability to move their heads. The beluga also lives in the same areas as the narwhal and both ...

This presentation explores the challenges and needs of military operations in the Arctic, particularly focusing on cold-weather medicine and the stability of medications in extreme conditions. Emily emphasizes the urgency of improving medic training and resources, the lack of solid data on medication efficacy in cold environments, and the need for innovative solutions to ensure medics can operate effectively. She calls for collaboration and data sharing among partner nations to enhance medical care in extreme cold environments.Sorry, if you would like to see the slides, you'll have to become a paid member. TakeawaysWe don't have a whole lot of military presence above the Arctic Circle.Cold is the enemy; we need to get used to it.The greatest need is initial care at the point of injury.We need to improve the ability of our medics to operate efficiently in cold environments.Most medication stability data is from controlled environments, not extreme conditions.We need to test medications in field environments to understand their stability.Base layer transport is a promising method for carrying medications in cold weather.We need actual inventions that work for medics in the field.Siloing up information is not the answer; we need collaboration.Identifying high-priority medications is crucial for effective cold-weather operations.Chapters00:00 The Arctic Military Landscape02:47 Challenges of Cold Weather Medicine05:59 Medication Stability in Extreme Conditions08:54 Innovative Solutions for Cold Weather Operations11:52 Data Collection and Research Needs15:04 Practical Tips for Medics in Cold Environments18:02 Future Directions in Cold Weather Medical CareThank you to Delta Development Team for in part, sponsoring this podcast.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠deltadevteam.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠For more content, go to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.prolongedfieldcare.org⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Consider supporting us: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠patreon.com/ProlongedFieldCareCollective⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.lobocoffeeco.com/product-page/prolonged-field-care⁠⁠

About Gareth Davies:Gareth Davies began his journey in the world of professional sport, only to have his career cut short far earlier than expected. After trying his hand at conventional employment, he quickly realized he wasn't built for the 9-to-5 grind—especially when it meant being told when he could take a holiday and how little he was worth.A born entrepreneur, Gareth went on to own multiple businesses, but it was 30 years ago when he was first introduced to network marketing that something truly clicked.
