Podcast appearances and mentions of jean michel cousteau

Welcome to the inaugural episode of The Blue Economy, hosted by Katherine O'Fallon!

Let's make waves as we chat with the esteemed Jean-Michel Cousteau, an icon in oceanography and champion for the seas. As we navigate the enchantment of marine life to the urgency of conservation, Jean-Michel imparts his lifetime of exploration and his father's profound legacy. His innovative approach to education shines through in partnerships with luxury hotels, turning them into platforms for marine awareness. At the same time, his passion for engaging the youth underscores our shared responsibility for the planet's tomorrow.An unyielding advocate for the ocean's inhabitants, Jean-Michel paints a vivid picture of the underwater world he's called home for nearly eight decades. His dream to continue his subaquatic adventures into his centennial year is more than just a personal milestone; it's a testament to his dedication to preserving our oceans. We delve into the crucial role of species like whales in our ecosystem and how education and global communication can amplify the call to protect these majestic beings. A teaser of his new TV series aimed at supporting Ocean Futures Society promises to be both enlightening and inspiring.Our heartstrings are tugged as the tale of Keiko the orca reminds us of human activities' profound impact on marine life.

His family's legacy, interwoven with his own unwavering commitment, stands as a beacon of hope for the boundless blue that sustains us all.This episode is sponsored by The Eden Magazine.Connect with Jean-Michel CousteauWikipediaOcean Futures SocietyFiji ResortAbout your Host- Alexia MelocchiBuy My Book - An Insiders Secret: Mastering the Hollywood PathAlexia Melocchi - WebsiteThe Heart of Show Business - WebsiteLittle Studio Films - WebsiteShop Our Merchandise!TwitterInstagramFacebookLinkedIn

Hoy nos sumergiremos en la vida del Félix Rodríguez de la Fuente de nuestros vecinos los Franchute, el oceanógrafo más famoso de los 7 mares, Jacques-Yves Cousteau. El pequeño Jacques nació en un pueblecito cerquita de Burdeos el 11 de junio de 1910. Tenía un hermano mayor, Pierre-Antoine, pero a este no le gustaba pescá mojarrita en el Puente Canal, este tenía en el cuarto un poster de Giorgia Meloni porque era una mihita nazi. Sus padres, Daniel y Elisabeth, nacieron y murieron el mismo año. Esto no lo vio venir Nostradamus. Jaques era un niño con una salud muy frágil y el pediatra le dijo a la madre lo mismo que dice cualquier pediatra, “Señora, eso se cura con dos chapuzones en la playa, pero en agua tapá, que está más limpia” y así fue como el pequeño Jaques descubrió el maravilloso mundo de las ahogaillas. De 1920 a 1923, la familia vivió en Estados Unidos, dónde Cousteau descubrió la natación y la apnea en un ambiente lacustre, vamos, en un lago, que eso da más asco que tocar un picaporte mojao. Fue precisamente en ese 1923, cuando el pequeño cumplió 13 años, que su padre le regaló una super 8 de la marca Silvercrest pa que su chiquillo se distrajera grabando juncos, que es lo único que hay en un lago. A su regreso a Francia descubrió el mar cerca de Marsella y quedó fascinado por su olor, su textura, su sabor salaito y el poder de oxidar el techo de los Seats Ibiza. En 1930, con 20 años, tras finalizar el COU en el Stanislas College de París, una escuela católica altamente selectiva situada en tor centro de París donde los padres tienen que aparcar en la mismísima puerta para que sus niños triunfen, nunca lo olviden, se alista en la Escuela Naval Francesa, graduándose como oficial de artillería en 1933. En 1935 tuvo un accidente automovilístico,que son los accidentes de coches de antes, en el que se rompió los dos brazos y a punto estuvo de perder la vida. La madre lo llevó al pediatra a quitarle las escayolas pero éste ya le dijo que ya estaba grande que ya lo podía pasar al médico de familia, que de nuevo le recomendó la natación en agua tapá para su recuperación. Fue durante su convalecencia que su amigo Philippe Tailliez le dejó unas gafas de buceo como las que utilizaban los buscadores de perlas filipinos y Jaques quedó fascinado con la belleza de la vida submarina, con sus burgaillo, sus eriso, sus camarones y sus ortiguillas fritas. Una vez recuperado del accidente en 1936 lo mandaron al acorazado “Condorcet” que tenía nombre de cava de marca blanca. Cousteau participó en la IIWW recibiendo diversas condecoraciones, incluida la Legión de Honor, pero también fue en esta época cuando realizó su primera película “A diez brazas bajo el agua”, que si siempre estaba con la cámara, me parece a mí que éste cada vez que escuchaba un tiro se hacía el muerto. El 12 de Julio de 1937 se casó con Simone Melchior con quien tuvo a sus dos hijos Jean-Michel JaUYYYYY, sale sólo, Jean-Michel Cousteau y su hermano Philippe. En 1938, Tailliez conoció a Frédéric Dumas, el de los libros no, otro, que Dumas es como García, y se lo presentó a Cousteau, formando desde entonces “Los 3 Mosquemers”, ja, ja, ja, menos mal que en Francia no hay Carnaval. Tras finalizar la guerra, la marina francesa quiso aprovechar los conocimientos de Cousteau para realizar una expedición submarina en el Mediterráneo en busca de un barco romano. Fue en esta expedición arqueológica subacuática donde inventaron un equipo autónomo de inmersión al que llamaron Aqua Lung porque les recordaba a tirarse en un tobogán del Guadalpark. Un año después, Cousteau dejó la marina para organizar sus propias expediciones, justo cuando se enteró que lo te da el mar, no se quita. Eso sí, Cousteau estaba más seco que el limón de una nevera y tuvo que buscar un barquito de segunda mano, hasta que encontró en 1950 un dragaminas que se hundió en Singapur y tuvo que ser remolcado hasta Marsella, que al final era como bajarse antes un coche de Alemania, salía lo mismo que comprártelo aquí. Y así nació el gran “Calypso”. De 1968 a 1975 la serie documental “El mundo submarino de Jaques Cousteau” lo catapultaría a la fama convirtiéndolo en una celebridad mundial. En esta época Cousteau parecía un garbancito del puchero, más arrugaito que un pantalón de lino, tenía los ojitos saltones y la nariz como “Aigor” y llevaba con el gorrito de lana roja puesto más tiempo que con la mujé. El comandante Cousteau escribió libros, se hicieron enciclopedias, rodó películas y documentales, fundó asociaciones para la protección de la vida marina, hizo llegar a la gente tan normal, tan normal el amor por el mar. Desgraciadamente, el 27 de junio de 1997, le dio un infartito al corazón y el Capitán Planeta nos dejaba para siempre a sus 87 años, aunque ustedes siempre podrán recordarlo cada vez alguien descubra el maravilloso mundo de las ahogaillas o vayan a Guadalpark y vivan el día más grande del verano.

Joining Miss Liz for teatime is Kirsten Kay from Link To Humanity. She will be sharing on her 21 Day Challenge and the in and out on how it all got started. Grab your tea and join us: May 28th 4PM PST/ 7PM EST Kirstyn was born and raised in southern California, where she spent her childhood growing up on an acre of land that her grandfather had made into an urban forest of a variety of fruit trees. Her parents and grandparents were all teachers and helped instill in her an appreciation and love for being outside, valuing a good education, and giving back to the community.Kirstyn was truly fortunate to be able to study, volunteer, and even work abroad, while traveling to many amazing places around the world. She volunteered with the Earthwatch Institute in Barbados conducting research and educating locals on sea turtle conservation issues. Kirstyn also studied abroad for 6 weeks while backpacking through Belize during her college years, while obtaining her B.A. in Environmental Studies.Kirstyn then attended Pace Law School in New York, studying to become an environmental lawyer, but unfortunately became extremely ill with an autoimmune disease that forced her to drop out of law school and figure out a new path forward (she understands firsthand that not everything goes as planned and she has extensive experience with overcoming real life struggles on a daily basis). After taking some time to try to heal, Kirstyn then took an opportunity to live and work abroad for over 6 years in the Cayman Islands for Jean-Michel Cousteau's Ambassadors of the Environment, based at The Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman. Working as an educational leader within a major luxury hotel corporation presented her with a unique opportunity to inspire adults, families, and children to appreciate their environment around them and to share with them a new perspective of the role they play in creating a better world. Kirstyn also continued to volunteer with some incredible organizations as she assisted with the Blue Iguana Recovery Program and the Sea Turtle Conservation Program with the Department of the Environment in the Cayman Islands Kirstyn then returned to California to be closer to her family, where she worked as an Educational Assessment Coordinator for Loma Linda University, School of Medicine and most recently enjoyed working as a Resource Educator for the Riverside-Corona Resource Conservation District. Kirstyn developed and taught educational programs and attended community outreach events, where she shared resources and helped to educate the local public about sustainable practices.While Kirstyn has always put her whole heart into every job she has ever had, she still felt that she was not quite fulfilling her own personal life's aspirations. When COVID hit, Kirstyn found that she could no longer hesitate in taking action and decided it was time to utilize her various experiences to fulfill her own purpose by creating Link to Humanity. This has been a project in the works for some time, but watching the world become further and further divided, she knew she could not wait any longer to share Link to Humanity with the world. Through Link to Humanity, Kirstyn hopes to empower people to reconnect to each other and to their environment, instilling wonder and inspiring them to take personal actions to create a positive impact in our world and a more sustainable future, by living with purpose. To better understand what Link to Humanity means to Kirstyn and how a special moment involving frogs as a little girl changed her life forever please watch her video Part 1: Intro to Link to Humanity. #linktohumanity #21dayschallenge #humanity #onecupatatime #makingadifference #misslizteatime #unitedstates

I'm being recruited by colleges throughout the country as a high school softball pitcher. The NCAA rules say I can go on up to five paid recruiting trips. So I have to pick and choose - it's a tough decision! The first school has an incredible coach... but I'm not sure if it's really a great fit for me. The second school I visit has a really strong team (and skiing which I love almost as much as softball)... but it's very different from my SoCal roots. Then I get approached by the University of Hawaii. They don't really have a top five team, I know nobody there, and it's really far away from home. But hello! It's a paid trip to Hawaii! I've never been there, and I'm not about to turn down an opportunity to spend a weekend in the islands. So off I go, and when I step off the plane, the smell of the air just hits me. The ocean view from my hotel room takes my breath away! It's like nothing I've ever experienced before, and I make my decision then and there. I sign on the dotted line to play softball for the University of Hawaii. As it turns out, I'd end up spending almost eight years living in Hawaii. And it probably never would have happened without that magnetic ocean view that captivated me. My guest today has made a career of documenting and telling stories about the ocean and its challenges. Michael Hanrahan has such a love affair for the ocean that he's spent 25 years involved with documentary films about it, working as an underwater camera operator in it, and even writing a fictional book about it! If you're curious to know: What two elements at the center of storytelling develop trust between you and your audience? What critical role does research have in storytelling? And why is upsetting people not an effective path to inspiring them to act for change? Then tune in as Michael and I discuss stories of Japanese bottle-nosed dolphins in distress, shark fin shenanigans and other perils of a Polynesian fisherman (past and present), and how it all ties into one of the main purposes of storytelling! What you will learn in this episode: How to tell stories about the environment that'll drive people to act How to approach sensitive topics in your storytelling Why an emotional response isn't necessarily the last thing you want to leave your audience with Who is Michael? Michael Hanrahan displays a respect for the ocean and combines it with his desire to communicate the challenges it faces. He double-majored in marine science and motion picture film at the University of Miami and has been involved with ocean documentary films for the last 25 years. He spent the early part of his career traveling to every continent (except Antarctica) working as a lecturer and underwater camera operator for Jean-Michel Cousteau. Next, Michael went on to mentor with Mike deGruy, a legend in the underwater and natural history documentary world. Together, they developed a filming strategy for a Discovery Channel production of the first video footage of the giant squid. They were also involved in the production of a short film series for the National Science Foundation about the Deepwater Horizon oil spill and its environmental impacts in the Gulf of Mexico. A proposed film project in the works between them and James Cameron in 2011 was indefinitely suspended with the untimely death of deGruy in a helicopter accident in Australia. Currently, Michael is the author of the environmental thriller The Last Extinction. It tells the story of an ancient table discovered in the Amazon rainforest that reveals the truth of the relationship between humanity and nature.

On the contrary, I'm actually suggesting that we need to work harder at saving earth from ourselves.When you think about it, in the grand scheme of things, the big universal timeline, humans have been around for a micro moment, not even a blink of an eye. And to be sure, in the very short time that we've been around, we have done some pretty remarkable things. There isn't a day go by that I don't marvel at human ingenuity as well as the strange paradox that we equally seem to be working as hard at making this planet uninhabitable for ourselves well at the same time we're trying to save each other from devastating diseases to keep us alive for as long as we can.Which I suppose points to the idea that despite our irresponsible treatment of mother earth we really love being here.As an architect I am particularly tuned in to what our built environment costs, not in terms of materials or operating expenses, but in terms of what it does to the environment around us what natural resources we strip from the earth, the cost of shipping them to construction sites and the leftovers of the construction process that end up in landfill. As a LEED certified architect I'm even more tuned in to the lifespan of buildings and the impact that they have on the environment. Alan weismann's book “The World Without US” brought to light some pretty interesting ideas regarding how the world would be if we simply retreated further into the background and let natural ecosystems take over.We've seen some of these changes over the past two years in the context of the global COVID-19 pandemic. It's kept people inside, animals have had a chance to roam, our urban environments have become less raucous, the ozone layer has had a chance to mend and even the canals in Venice are running clear.So, it does tend to make you want to question what would happen to our planet if for example we weren't here. Now, having said that, I think most of us want to be here. We find this little blue dot spinning uncontrollably in the vast universe an astounding place to be with a wealth of natural resources flora and fauna, that if you look, just for a moment, you can be nothing but amazed at the complexity, beauty, detail and design of all things.It's not surprising as well that during this pause imposed on us over the past couple of years, that people have begun to reconnect to the value of nature. Biophilic design is rolling off the lips of more people these days than ever before and sustainable practices are being embraced and young GenZers, like Greta Thunberg, are being lauded for sailing across the ocean and bringing a global consciousness to the climate change issue.I can tell you, my sons are quite concerned about the planet they've inherited. And what we need to do to make it right in the next few years so that the trajectory of climate change won't lead to a climate calamity. I don't know, maybe it's quite likely that our influence on climate will likely be the demise of humans long before some asteroid hits us like in the movie Don't look up.”I was also quite struck by the Salesforce commercial playing during the Winter Olympics with Matthew McConaughey who was suggesting that space is ‘a final frontier' might be a misappropriation of our attention. We might be better off connecting better and creating viable alternatives to the way that we've treated mother earth, a planet that we've been gifted and need to be better stewards of.I liked the idea of SalesForce's “Team Earth” commercial.Bravo for bringing that into the social consciousness.When I was at Marriott our chief engineer Terry Smith was on a mission to remove plastic bottles from hotels and implement water filtration systems that would remove millions of plastic bottles from landfill every year.You know, there's a plastic island the size of Texas floating in the Pacific Ocean and everything we can do every day to remove things like that from our planet the better off we all will be, humans and ocean life alike. When I was at Marriott there was a woman who seemed to make it her life purpose to connect us to the consequences of our behavior on geography and the natural ecosystems. Denise Naguib is an extraordinary person with a passion for education and growing our awareness of how to interact with a world around us that produces better human outcomes.Denise was born in Cairo, Egypt where she lived for half of her childhood before moving to Michigan, Minnesota, and finally Oregon.  She was originally on an education track that would put her into medicine. But one day, when needing to take an elective for one of the courses to complete her Bachelors degree, she discovered the world of geography… and that changed everything.She earned a Bachelors of Science in Geography degree from the University of Oregon with an emphasis on biological and human impacts on the environment.  After graduating, Denise was hired to be a snorkeling instructor at a summer camp on Catalina island off the coast of California. She had grown up snorkeling and this was a natural fit for her.And, as fate would have it, one day she got a call that led to becoming involved with Jean-Michel Cousteau's Ocean Futures Society, implementing environmental education programs. In 2005, Denise moved to the Cayman Islands (not a bad gig) to implement Jean-Michel Cousteau's Ambassadors of the Environment program at The Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman.  With the success of that program, Denise then moved to Washington, DC and led the environmental strategy for the brand, as well as supporting the growth of the Cousteau program within The Ritz-Carlton.  In January 2010, Denise joined the Global Operations group at Marriott International and continued her work on sustainability strategy for all brands, as well as expansion of the Cousteau program. In 2012, Denise was named Vice President of Sustainability and Supplier Diversity, integrating both of these important subjects in the company's global operations.  In 2017, Naguib launched the company's new Sustainability and Social Impact platform, Serve 360, and accompanying goals.  Denise currently serves as Vice Chair of the Board for WEConnect International, the global organization supporting women businesses around the world.  She is also the Chair of the National LGBT Chamber's Procurement Council, on the Board of The Conference Board's Sustainability Center and serves on the boards of The Ocean Foundation and Arbor Day Foundation.  When I was at Marriott, I liked visiting Denise in her office as often as I could, because it was filled with plants and just smelled better. Her little enclave of the building felt a little bit like a place that grown over after humans had left. Except that at Marriott Denise Naguib is very much there connecting a network of over 8000 hotels and the companies that supply them to the world of sustainable building practice. She leads a team who spends there days connecting to hearts and minds to what we can learn from, and the value of, natural ecosystems helping to make sure that this little blue dot we live on… will not just be there for future generations but be one we can continue to thrive on.  ABOUT DAVID KEPRON:LinkedIn Profile: linkedin.com/in/david-kepron-9a1582bWebsites: https://www.davidkepron.com    (personal website)vmsd.com/taxonomy/term/8645  (Blog)Email: david.kepron@NXTLVLexperiencedesign.comTwitter: DavidKepronPersonal Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/davidkepron/NXTLVL Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nxtlvl_experience_design/Bio:David Kepron is a multifaceted creative professional with a deep curiosity to understand ‘why', ‘what's now' and ‘what's next'.

 Bonjour! I am Estelle, your host and this is Wildlife Conservation Insights, the podcast dedicated to the connections between wildlife and human being. You want to know more about wildlife? About whats going on: Why some species are getting endangered? What are the challenges our world is facing? You want to meet people that dedicate their life to save animal species? You want to be proactive and also participate in species conservation? This podcast is for you!!!  Welcome to Wildlife Conservation Insights! This is episode 10.  This episode is very special as it was recorded live. My guest Dr. Cecile Gaspar invited me to French Polynesia to help her out with diagnostic and medical treatments of sick sea turtles. It is one of this time when you connect deeply with someone and that gives you new hope for our planet, faith in what you are doing and energy. We discussed about her NGO te mana o te moana, her work with sea turtles, ocean conservation and the fact that nothing is given: you have to go get what you want and believe in your projects.  Te mana o te moana, a NGO meaning “spirit of the ocean” has three objectives: education, conservation and research on the Polynesian marine environment. Jean-Michel Cousteau and the French astronaut Jean-François Clervoy are its ambassadors.   Cecile is an official sea turtle expert for IUCN. She developed a dedicated sea turtle clinic in Moorea, which has welcomed more than 600 sick and injured turtles to this day. She has set up a long-term green turtle nesting monitoring program on Marlon Brando's Tetiaroa atoll since 2007. Her foundation has developed educational programs and received over 100,000 children up to date. The foundation is one of the leaders of the AME (aires marines éducatives) Educative Marine Area concept in French Polynesia. Cécile has and still continues to inspire new generations.   Cécile Gaspar has been honored as a Knight of the National Order of Merit in 2012.      Hope you enjoy the travel.      Connect with Us! If you like it, share it!  You can find more about Cécile on my website estellevet.com under episode 10.   https://www.temanaotemoana.org/  https://www.instagram.com/temanaotemoana/     

We're talking brain health this week! And we have a treat for you! “Amazon” John Easterling, Plant Medicine Formulator joins us in the studio to share his story. Tune in to learn how he found a passion in plant medicine. We also dig into brain health and the causes of Alzheimer's and dementia.   ABOUT “AMAZON JOHN” EASTERLING Since 1976 John Easterling has been an explorer and treasure hunter in the Amazon Rainforest. It was there, after a personal health crisis, he was introduced to the traditional use of medicinal plants by the Indigenous People in Peru.   Since then, his passion for plant medicine has only accelerated.   Easterling's original degree is in Environmental Studies, he founded the Amazon Herb Company in 1990 and serves on the board of the Amazon Center of Environmental Education and Research.   Amazon John's 28 years of Plant Medicine experience have been profiled on TV and Radio including “Good Morning America” and “Fox and Friends”.  His product formulations have sold over $100 million worldwide.   John has been featured in two PBS documentaries, World News Report “Amazon John and Rainforest Medicines” and Jean Michel Cousteau's “Return to the Amazon.”   Easterling believes the dramatic growth and interest in plant medicine is still in its early stages and will continue to significantly improve life experiences and healthy outcomes into the future.   Evolution of a Treasure Hunter Traveled to Ecuador and down into Peru, with a passion for finding lost cities of gold, essentially a treasure hunter. Was making his living with some of that material, and then some artifacts. Next, into Brazil, Uruguay, and Argentina with gemstones, and took that on as treasure. Then later going up the river in the Amazon rainforest, he was trading in blowguns and carved monkey bones, and a variety of tribal artifacts and became ill. This is where his passion for plant medicine was ignited. The natives brewed a special tea from local plants.

We're talking brain health this week! And we have a treat for you! “Amazon” John Easterling, Plant Medicine Formulator joins us in the studio to share his story. Tune in to learn how he found a passion in plant medicine. We also dig into brain health and the causes of Alzheimer's and dementia.   ABOUT “AMAZON JOHN” EASTERLING Since 1976 John Easterling has been an explorer and treasure hunter in the Amazon Rainforest. It was there, after a personal health crisis, he was introduced to the traditional use of medicinal plants by the Indigenous People in Peru.   Since then, his passion for plant medicine has only accelerated.   Easterling's original degree is in Environmental Studies, he founded the Amazon Herb Company in 1990 and serves on the board of the Amazon Center of Environmental Education and Research.   Amazon John's 28 years of Plant Medicine experience have been profiled on TV and Radio including “Good Morning America” and “Fox and Friends”.  His product formulations have sold over $100 million worldwide.   John has been featured in two PBS documentaries, World News Report “Amazon John and Rainforest Medicines” and Jean Michel Cousteau's “Return to the Amazon.”   Easterling believes the dramatic growth and interest in plant medicine is still in its early stages and will continue to significantly improve life experiences and healthy outcomes into the future.   Evolution of a Treasure Hunter Traveled to Ecuador and down into Peru, with a passion for finding lost cities of gold, essentially a treasure hunter. Was making his living with some of that material, and then some artifacts. Next, into Brazil, Uruguay, and Argentina with gemstones, and took that on as treasure. Then later going up the river in the Amazon rainforest, he was trading in blowguns and carved monkey bones, and a variety of tribal artifacts and became ill. This is where his passion for plant medicine was ignited. The natives brewed a special tea from local plants. This not only improved his illness but he actually felt better than ever before in his life. This is where the Amazon Herb Company was born and has helped people improve their health with plant medicine for 30 years.

Bacopa: This Little-Known Indian Herb Supports Brain Health and More! Brain Health: 10 Tips for Keeping "Senior Moments" at Bay

Check out our episode with Keith Roberts, Entrepreneur | Author & Keynote Speaker | Creator of the Oak Journal.   We chat about creativity, mentorship, entrepreneurship and so much more/----more---- Katty: I'm so excited to interview a good friend, Keith Roberts, an incredible creative and the creator of The Oak Journal, for this session of the Artisan Podcast. Hello, Keith, welcome. Keith: It's an honor to be here, thanks for having me. Katty: I'd love to start the conversation, Keith about you as a creative and how you got your start and then we'll make that move into where you are today with The Oak Journal. Keith: Great. So my start, I actually went to Brooks Institute of Photography in Santa Barbara, California, where I got a degree in Industrial Scientific Photography with a minor in Undersea Photography, so really applicable to the real world….sarcasm there!   I think one of the many gifts that I took away that was a life changer for me with Brooks was the level of presentation and professionalism that was required. It was easy to get into Brooks Institute of Photography, it was incredibly hard to graduate. There were 58 students in my class and 12 graduated. If you got to C you failed, you had to retake the class. A second C you were expelled.  So they were really about making exceptional artists and not about just making money, which I really appreciate, and being somebody that's owned an agency for 25 years and seeing what a lot of the schools turn out now that are based on profit versus not, really instilling what the students need to have a successful career as a creative. That was enormous for me. The other thing that I took away from that was, you know, a very special relationship with the founder of the school, Ernest Brooks. I minored in Undersea Photography and I got to spend several months living on a boat diving every day with a gentleman who has, you know, an exhibit in the Smithsonian Institute for his underwater photography. We had Jean-Michel Cousteau, Jacques Cousteau's son, dove with us for several expeditions. So the taste for once-in-a-lifetime experiences, I got at a very early age. Katty: Oh my gosh I got goosebumps. That's incredible to have that opportunity at such a young age, that just opened up the whole world for you to be able to look at everything through their eyes too. Keith: Yeah, and I would say it also set an expectation that I did not want to have an ordinary life. I remember to this day at my grandmother's trailer in rural Indiana she had a poster of the poem, The Road Less Traveled. And I always remember that last verse “Two roads diverged in a road and I took the road less traveled by and that has made all the difference” and that was an early opportunity to see when everybody else is sitting in a classroom or working on being an engineer, which was the safe job in the 90s you know, and my dad was an engineer, and that was the safe route to go..what was possible if you really followed your passion. Katty: Beautiful. And I know that, unfortunately, Ernest Brooks passed away recently. And you wrote a beautiful tribute about him. Can you talk a little bit about mentorship and just kind of what that meant for you to be under the tutelage of this incredible person? Keith: Absolutely, and thank you for giving me the opportunity to continue to honor Ernie. He was one of the many mentors that I've continued to work with. It was a gift and I think, realizing as a Buddhist, I believe that there is no such thing as a coincidence, but when the student is ready to teach her presents itself and I think there are so many lost opportunities when people don't realize that there's this synchronicity happening all around them.  And so, with Ernie Brooks, I remember something specifically said that the boat we lived on was “Just Love.” and he said, “The time we spend upon just love is not deducted from our lives.” And it still chokes me up to this day, and I think that's why he lived to be as long as he did is because he spent so much time on that gorgeous boat.  But mentorship is essential and it's not something that ends with the first. Ernie sent me on a path, but at Brooks, I met Lapsom, who was somebody that worked with the Dalai Lama, and he put me on a path from being a devout atheist to finding Buddhism and changing the entire path of my life. Even though Lapsom was very briefly, in my life. And then there was a gentleman, Dave Larsen. I assisted a couple photographers Vic Huber and Bob Carey, those were also mentors that helped me continue to push what I wanted to be as a professional, but when I broke out and started working as a photographer, stock photography was really decimating the market and a lot of established photographers were closing and so I spent a year as a starving artist, and then had to get a real job. And that's how I got into doing design, where I met my next mentor, a gentleman named Dave Larsen. He saw me as a designer that, head down when things weren't going to get accomplished by my peers, I would jump in and make sure that we hit our deadlines, and he was the one that actually gave me the opportunity to move to Denver, he promoted me within that organization that was acquired by Equifax. And then the next step was EO and the mentors like Warren Rustand and having those people that continue to inspire you to tears. Katty: Well said. EO for the audience is the Entrepreneurs Organization, a network of about 16,000 members entrepreneurs across the globe, and that's how Keith and I know each other. We're both members of EO, and have a lot of people, a lot of mentors in common. Warren Rustand is the gentleman that Keith just talked about. So, obviously, the influence of all of these incredible people has created an indelible impact on you, one that you carry with you still today. When and who kind of lit that spark of entrepreneurship for you?  Keith: That's a really good question. I don't know. Actually, I do. I remember in seventh grade. The funny thing is it wasn't really inspirational, it was my accounting teacher or some class that I had and I remember he explained a definition of an entrepreneur, and it was horrible. It was somebody that was going to have many failures before they have a success, probably have, you know, one or multiple bankruptcies. I mean he really described an entrepreneur as an atrocious choice to make in your life, and I remember sitting in that class and being like, “Huh, I think that's me”. Going against the grain, not following the rules, and facing insurmountable odds with optimism. So it was sort of an adverse inspiration. Katty: I love that. I absolutely love that. You can see this on my wall, it says “dwell in possibilities.” It's my absolute favorite quote, and that's what entrepreneurship is all about. There is a possibility out there so let's go and do it. Katty: I love that. At what point in your career after you were working and obviously studying photography, making the move to design and working for Dave Larsen. At what point did you say okay now I'm ready to start my own agency? Keith: It was actually serendipity, so I had been doing some stuff as Zenman, as a freelancer, while I was working at Equifax, which is where I worked for Dave Larsen. And then they had moved me from California to Denver when the merger happened. Like with most acquisitions they within six months realize the redundancies that they'd acquired and they'd also moved us out here. So, I always had the goal that before I was 30 I wanted to be my own boss, to have my own business, to be an entrepreneur. And I actually was given a freeroll, I had a six-month runway, it was pre-September 11, the economy was great. Based on my management level, I had a half-year runway. I looked at that opportunity like once in a lifetime, I'm never going to be given this gift again. I took my severance package I tore up my resume, never to be edited or used again, and formed Zenman as official business. Katty: It's one thing though to go from being a solopreneur, and to running and creating one. Having employees, having that responsibility for other people, beyond just yourself. When did you make that transition? Keith: That was a couple of years later. So for the first three years, it was just me, it was called Zenman because I was the Buddhist creative guy I was the Zenman. But then as we started adding employees and scaling, you're absolutely right, two things happened; my stress level increased exponentially and my personal income decreased catastrophically. And it probably took five years to get back to where I was after adding that overhead and that did not alleviate the peaks and valleys that came with a service-based industry.  We weren't doing a lot of recurring revenue at the time, so each month it was eat what you kill, and it was feast or famine, many times. And I would even say past that, so that was eight years into the business. It was another five years before I joined EO, that I really learned how to be an entrepreneur. The first decade was stubbornness, willingness to work 100 plus hours a week, which led to, you know, illness and all sorts of issues. But it was actually learning how to run a business, learning how to be a leader, even learning what EBITA meant, which I didn't know the first 10 years. These things are essential, but we don't know them all right out of the bat. We weren't taught those and you know photography school or, you know, wherever we go.  Katty: I think you bring up a really good point, in terms of kind of what, what has been taught currently in art schools. For artists and creatives, as a whole really putting their practice and their expertise in the various programs that they use, you know, whether it be Adobe Creative Cloud or Figma or whatever it may be, but not to forget the business side of them because so many of them are solopreneurs and are running their own freelance business; to really have a good understanding of what the accounting side of it needs to be. Either to outsource it to an accountant and or do it themselves, whichever they want, but to really look at that business as a business. I think it's really important to be able to have that full-scale picture of it. Keith: It's a really good point Katty because I learned the presentation skills and that's one of the things I learned at Brooks was a well-put-together portfolio that's perfectly mounted and everything is top-notch is going to get more jobs and better photography with a sloppy presentation. The one thing we didn't learn was the business part of running a studio, photography business, freelance business.  So for the first 15 years of my company or longer. I saw the business's checking account like Monopoly money, it wasn't real money to me until it came to me. I mean millions of dollars were wasted by not having that clarity and understanding and business education, which is essential. And I think you know the tables have turned, and now the most secure opportunity is to be your own boss to be an entrepreneur versus trusting your career into some other company hitching your wagon to that star and hoping that they not only are successful but that they continue to value your contribution and reciprocate that with job security. Katty: Very very true and very well said thank you for that. Now you've recently transitioned out of your business. Is that correct? Am I saying that correctly?  Keith: No, that's correct. Yes, I sold Zenman to a SaaS company called Mblue in Latin America. It has been an amazing transition. I was really nervous. I know so many people sell their business and they lose their identity. They make a bunch of money and then they become miserable. I feel very very fortunate that it's been a serendipitous partnership that maintains a legacy in the business and I'm helping them grow and accomplish their goals. I think the mindset of win-win, it wasn't I'm tapping out the last day, it's that I'm committed to it and that the people on the other side have the trust and respect to let us continue to run our practice as we do. Katty: Fantastic. And obviously, I know this from having known you the past few years, you've embarked on this passion that is now your sole focus in your business, which is an incredibly beautiful journal that you've created for others to use, and I can see the experience for having put a great presentation together that you learned so many years ago, really manifests itself in the Oak Journal, it's absolutely beautiful. Can you talk about what that spark was and why did you decide to go into this business? Keith: Yes, it is a combination of two things, it is my Ikigai but I didn't know it when I started down that journey. Ikigai is a Japanese term that means life's purpose. But one of the things that I really wanted to do was stop trading my time for money. I realized when I had kids that time was the one finite resource we had. As an agency owner and a top paid creative, I make a lot of money per hour and it's still not a good exchange. So, my goal was to come up with a product-based business that would fulfill my needs of financial independence without trading my time for money, and in finding the right product that's how I came up with the Oak Journal. I wanted something that I could use my knowledge to create and do a better job than anybody that was currently doing this with the skills I built over the two decades of running Zenman. So being able to design something-- I've designed many many books over the years, but being able to take the life experience, skills, you know even Warren Rustand's 10 10 10 and weave that into a paint by numbers roadmap that anybody can use to live their best life has been transformational and it really made me want, with intention, transition out of the Zenman which was 100% my identity, it's my nickname, it's what people call me, to helping others and being a bodhisattva. Katty: Fantastic. So, as a practice as a mindfulness practice and gratitude practice. Is that something that you were doing anyway before you put the journal together? Keith: Yes, I've been meditating for 20 plus years and about 10 years ago I started practicing Transcendental Meditation, and it has had as big of an impact on me as the Entrepreneurs Organization has. Meditation is a superpower. If somebody doesn't think that they have enough time in their day to meditate, you need meditation, more than anyone, and you will find if you start a simple practice, it gives you time in the day because you're more productive, you're more clear, you're more creative, you're more focused. I wish people would look at meditation like a free pill that would give them superpowers like that movie with Bradley Cooper, Limitless, you know, it's not quite that but it's pretty amazing how much, just having a 10-minute meditation can change your day. Katty: I love that. Can you talk about that and creativity and where you see the through-line between the two because we talked about being quiet for a few minutes, that's what we're talking about here. Keith: Yeah I mean that's a really good question Katty thanks for asking. I mean the most amazing ideas if you look at, you know songwriters or inventors they happen in the shower or while they're driving down the highway and the reason that is they're not thinking about other thoughts, they're not thinking about their problems, their mortgage their issues with their partner, they're just washing their hair and at peace with their mind, their mind itself and so we're able to come up with those really, really creative ideas. So I am intentional with creating those moments from meditation, to start my day to even having core hours where I turn off all devices not just my email, my phone is in airplane mode there's no you know Twitter open. I don't do that ever anyways, but you know there's all distractions are turned off so you can focus on writing your book, working on that creative project, or whatever it is that needs to be accomplished. You can really get into those that state of theta brainwaves with intention. Willie Nelson actually does it by just driving his truck; he writes his best songs when he's driving down the highway. So once he figured that out when he wants to be creative, gets in his truck and he starts driving. So there are all different ways you can get into that state. Katty: Yeah it's interesting because creativity doesn't necessarily happen nine to five staring at a screen. It happens when you're out in nature and happens when you're just, you allow your mind to get creative. To go inward I think it's just so important to be able to do that. Keith: 100% I agree. Katty: I've done meditation for years. I only can do it if it's a guided meditation. I have not gotten to a place where I can do it on my own. But even in the guided practice, I find that so impactful and so helpful to be able to do that. Keith: Yeah, I agree. Try TM it's just a mantra I think that one will--And there's nothing wrong with guided meditations. I still do those as well and I practice those with my boys, but I have struggled with contemplated meditations that weren't guided until I found TM. Katty: Okay, I will look into it. There's also a couple of other friends who embark upon TM. You're the third person I'm hearing this from, so I think maybe the universe is talking. So you've started your boys on meditation? Keith: Yes, now we make that part of their day. In fact, when they were very very young, we had them in three different preschools before we found a school called Morningstar that was a yoga and meditation-based preschool. So the boys started every day with yoga, they did guided meditations. It was a very Eastern hippy Boulder-esque type of preschool, but it really resonated with our boys. Now, they don't embrace it with the same joy that I do, but they understand the value of it. It's almost like a joke in our house that we'll all talk about the benefits of meditation and be like “I know Dad, you talk about this dad, I know that you wrote an article about this, dad.” So I'm hoping one day, they'll listen with the same attentiveness that somebody to keynote does. Katty: Fantastic. I know that the Oak Journal you just came out with a new version of it, can you talk a little bit about the differences between this and what you were doing? In addition to the different sizes, but what's that creative process for you, because clearly you're still a very creative person and you've just channeled that creativity into this. Keith: Yeah, I love making things. So the main changes that we made, the biggest one is we move production to the US, and now it is being produced with environmentally friendly materials. The factory that we were using in China, didn't have the same standards and so that was the biggest one to us to have something that was made with our core value of environmentally friendly alignment, and also, it helped with just production delays and shipping and everything we're dealing with right now around the world.  The other piece is, each week has a positive psychology exercise, and we had people that have been doing it for over a year and so they were repeating the same, let's create our bucket list every nine weeks and so they were getting diminishing returns. So the next version is to 2.0, we're going to make four versions total so that you can have 48 different positive psychology exercises. I'm sorry, 54 different exercises that you would do in a year in two weeks, and then you could repeat it. We're also working on two other products. One is called the Sequoia, so that's your 10-year journal you set your BHAG and your moonshot. And then you're incrementally working towards that. With the series of 120 Oak Journals and then our passion project right now is the Acorn. So this is for children, and this is actually something that we're intending just to give away. We'll definitely print it and have them for sale. But anybody that wants an Acorn Journal anywhere on the planet will have a free. Katty: How beautiful and I love all the tree references and all the nature references. Keith: Thank you. Going back to our roots, beautiful. And thank you for connecting me to your resources for my journal too. You've been so gracious, I have to say that Keith, talking about mentorship, early on. You've just been so gracious with sharing your knowledge and all the trials and tribulations of bringing this journal to market and sharing that with me and with others who are interested in that. So definitely a mentor, so thank you for that. Keith: Thank you very much Katty, I appreciate it. I truly believe all ships rise with the tide. And, the more we can help each other, it just benefits everyone. And I know more people having your book and your journal is going to help them. I think one of the things I'm blessed with here in Colorado is the creative community was very symbiotic. We do compete with people but at the same time, my competitors would reach out to me and say hey there's jobs out of our league, this is more in your wheelhouse, could you take it. I think when you have that mindset of collaboration, then it's reciprocated. Katty: And it's beautifully said because so many freelancers are so siloed and the importance of community can't be overemphasized, to be part of that community, whether it's Creative Mornings or AIGA or whatever it may be, but to find a community of other creatives to be able to collaborate with is so critical. Keith: Yeah, you said it perfectly, not being on an island, not being in a silo. You know just leaning on somebody, I mean, EO was great during COVID. I don't know how many people in our chapter wouldn't have gotten their PPP, if it hadn't been for other members that say hey I have this connection at a community branch we can help you, don't worry about going through the big bank you've had for 20 years, you need to call Mary at Mbank and she'll submit your proposal at three in the morning to get you taken care of. Mentorship, and also the peers that you just have, in a connected, trusting, and vulnerable way when people don't have their guards up when they're honest with what's going on. It's amazing how we come to each other's aid. When we just raise our hand and say hey I need help.  Katty: Yeah, very very true. It's been an interesting year for sure. And we're still in it, by all means, it's not a done deal. What would you say is one of the biggest lessons that you've learned for yourself during this pandemic year and a half? Keith: The importance of community and connection. You know I've seen other people that don't have the network, that really struggled that sort of went inside and dealt with everything personally, versus just like we mentioned having that community that you can reach out to. I mean one of the blessings of EO is that it's a global community. So, I took it as an opportunity because I could go have a coffee with a friend in Denver every day, to have a zoom call with a friend in Melbourne or you know just other ways to connect with people around the planet. I actually feel like, for me, it broadened my global connections, even though I wasn't able to travel and I am chomping at the bit to go travel to meet these friends. Katty: Yeah I agree 100% We did that on the family side. And I don't know if I told you this when we saw each other last week, but since March 20th we started a family zoom, and we've had one every single Sunday since then. So March 20th of 2020, and my family is all over the world, nobody lives here in Los Angeles, so to be able to have this very intentional focused one-hour zoom call with one another. This is with grandparents and grandkids and aunts and uncles and the brothers and the sisters, that I think the max point we had 18 people on our zoom. And it still happens today, every Sunday at 10am. It's the Douraghy family zoom call, and it's similar to a forum exercise. So everything starts with an icebreaker: everybody talks about a win, everyone does a one-word open, and it's been transformational because we're actually learning things about each other that we wouldn't otherwise because we're not asking these very intentional questions of each other when we're physically together. So it's been phenomenal in terms of how close we've become as a family. Keith: That is really cool, that's such a cool gift. I think it's also a perspective, right? I mean you could look at it that “hey I haven't been able to be in the same room with these people.” But the flip side of that coin is you just created a tradition that hopefully will go on for generations. And we were blessed to have the technology to be able to do that, I mean even 10 years ago it would have been a different world we were in and I think so much more challenging to face this isolation. Katty: Oh, I agree 100% 100% agree, and look, the future of work has changed. And without the technology that we have today wouldn't have been possible to continue. Katty: What is getting you excited and inspired these days? Keith: You know what gets me excited is actually, I think, something that's really messed up right now. And that's the changes that I think are inevitable with social media. You know what's coming out about algorithms intentionally presenting inflammatory content. I'm actually excited that there will be action taken to hold these people accountable. It's going to turn the world on its head as far as advertising, e-commerce. But that's already happening with iOS changes and privacy, which is not a bad thing. Personally, I am quite happy having the exact product that I want presented to me in a way that makes it easy to purchase it. But I am excited about the change that's going to help remove the wedge that's dividing this country apart because the truth of the matter is on 95% of the issues were exactly the same. And I think there are some toxic influences that are exasperating our divide, and I am for the first time in years, optimistic that we're going to start taking that wedge out and coming back together. Keith: Whatever we can do to make that happen. Katty: Yes. And one final question for you, something to leave behind for our audience, especially those who are embarking on their creative career, and/or because of COVID have had to pivot their freelance business or if they've lost their jobs. What are some lessons learned that you want to leave them with in terms of determination to just continue, continue the task? Keith: Two tools that I will leave one; I'm a big fan of Dr. Joe Dispenza, and he has a tool on manifesting what you want. So if you're struggling right now, maybe you lost your job during COVID or your business failed or something. Set your intentions with a tool he created where you take a piece of paper out, you write emotions on one side and intentions on the other. So if your goal is a new job, what is the intention? I get to travel three months out of the year and see the world. I'm making enough money that I'm financially independent. What are all the intentions that you have? And then on the other side under the emotions, what are the feelings that you have? Actually, try to feel those emotions so you can manifest it. And that is a great tool. I love that tool but it is the first step.  The second step is doing the work. The thing that I hate about the book The Secret is it's all about having the right mindset and everything's just gonna appear in your life. The mindset is critical. It's essential, but it's the first step, you've got to make continuous daily progress, you can't just wish upon a star, that you're going to have your dream job. What did you do today to actually accomplish that goal? What incremental progress, even if it was just five new connections on LinkedIn that you sent out. What was the incremental progress you made today towards living your best life? Katty: Beautiful. Thank you, Keith, thank you for joining us here. Where can people find you and where can they find that your beautiful journal? Keith: Oakjournal.com you can connect with me on social. Look for Zenman, you will find me or anything Oak Journal related, you will definitely find me and you can direct message me, you can even email me at keith@oakjournal.com if you have any questions. Katty: Thank you. Before I let you go, I forgot to ask this, you also do a lot of sessions where you teach people how to journal and meditate and so forth. Correct? Keith: Absolutely. Yep. I do it, I literally just got off one right before we started. I was doing one for EO Cape Town, but I also do them for individual forums, for companies and I have a masterclass that's a six-week class people can do, it's an Oak masterclass. Keith: oakmasterclass.com or Oak Journal. They all are pretty good at all the SEO interlinking web thing having owned an agency. So if you get to one of my properties you can find everything that you need and will guide you through that journey.  The master class is a six-week intensive that we work on in small groups and then individually. And it's a requirement I do a little bit of coaching but I'm really really particular with working with people that have the growth mindset that you know are going to be a good fit. So everybody has to do the masterclass first to make sure we're both on the same path. Katty: Got it.  I'll put all the links in the show notes so that everybody knows how to find you and where to find you.   Thank you for listening to the artisan podcast, brought to you by Artisan Creative.

Was making his living with some of that material, and then some artifacts. Next, into Brazil, Uruguay, and Argentina with gemstones, and took that on as treasure. Then later going up the river in the Amazon rainforest, he was trading in blowguns and carved monkey bones, and a variety of tribal artifacts and became ill. This is where his passion for plant medicine was ignited. The natives brewed a special tea from local plants. This not only improved his illness but he actually felt better than ever before in his life.

Ready to take your brain health to the next level? Ready to be proactive, or even reverse, the signs of brain aging? Then this episode is definitely for you! We are fortunate to have “Amazon” John Easterling, Plant Medicine Formulator, with us again this week. He dives into the plant medicine treasures he's found in the Amazon Rainforest that beautifully support healthy brain function and help you ward off brain aging.   ABOUT “AMAZON JOHN” EASTERLING Since 1976 John Easterling has been an explorer and treasure hunter in the Amazon Rainforest. It was there, after a personal health crisis, he was introduced to the traditional use of medicinal plants by the Indigenous People in Peru. Since then his passion for plant medicine has only accelerated. Easterling's original degree is in Environmental Studies, he founded the Amazon Herb Company in 1990 and serves on the board of the Amazon Center of Environmental Education and Research. Amazon John's 28 years of Plant Medicine experience have been profiled on TV and Radio including “Good Morning America” and “Fox and Friends”.  His product formulations have sold over $100 million worldwide. John has been featured in two PBS documentaries, World News Report “Amazon John and Rainforest Medicines” and Jean Michel Cousteau's “Return to the Amazon.” Easterling believes the dramatic growth and interest in plant medicine is still in its early stages and will continue to significantly improve life experiences and healthy outcomes into the future.   Causes of Alzheimer's and Dementia Beta amyloid plaquing. “So when you get plaquing, your spark plug would foul, and you couldn't start your engine. So same thing here. You get that plaquing in there, and it just can't transmit to the next one, and you don't remember. You can't access that data where you put your keys.” Tau tangle, where you get the neurons that really just become tangled. Inflammation is a really big deal, and actually these other factors are really caused by it. It's a kind of inflammatory response from your brain to protect itself sometimes, developing this amyloid plaquing to seal off what it sees as an insult. Involvement of Candida in brain issues. Recent research showed was that people did not think before that the Candida could cross the blood brain barrier. Now they found that it actually can. It travels through your body doing that, looking for a place to reside where the biological terrain is right. If you introduce a lot of sugar and a lot of carbs into that terrain, they really love that. When these Candida cross that blood brain barrier, the brain recognizes that as an insult, and then you have this coating process. The brain will try to coat that to seal it off.   Prevention Lifestyle and diet – low sugar, more green vegetables Probiotics after a course of antibiotics – maintain a diverse colony-forming units of probiotics.

Charles Vinick is one of the elder statesman of the marine environmental movement. He has long been an educator, marine mammal activist, youth mentor, and film producer throughout his career.  Charles has received commendations from the White House for his work with youth education and from the Los Angeles City Council for community environmentalism. He has also worked with non profits, and in business with renewable energy and technology companies.  A member of the Whale Sanctuary Project Board of Directors since mid-2016, Charles brings a unique blend of leadership and experience to his role as Executive Director.  With a strong background in business that includes extensive experience in ocean + environmental policy, project management and government relations, Charles keeps current with a solid vision for the future. The Whale Sanctuary Project, his most ambitious yet,  with Jean Michel, is creating the first North American seaside sanctuary for captive cetaceans in Nova Scotia.   For over 40 years, Charles has worked alongside the Cousteau family, early on with Jacques Yves and currently with Jean-Michel, helping these preeminent ocean explorers establish, grow and sustain multiple initiatives.  As an adviser, and cofounder of the Cousteau Centers, Inc., Charles developed and managed Parc Oceanique Cousteau, an ocean education and entertainment complex in Paris. He shepherded the growth of the Cousteau Society and, from 1993 through 2003, served as Executive Vice President of the Jean-Michel Cousteau Institute and Ocean Futures Society, which produced educational programs as well as films about the ocean and the environment. During that time he was privileged to serve as director of the highly-publicized Keiko Project, a pioneering effort that marshaled public and media support to reintroduce to the wild the captive Orca made famous through the “Free Willy” films.   LEARN MORE ABOUT CHARLES VINICK AND THE WHALE SANCTUARY PROJECT here:    Follow Charles on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/charles-vinick-67b02b14 Whale Sanctuary Website: https://whalesanctuaryproject.org/ Whale Sancturary Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/whalesanctuaryproject/ Conversation with Jean-Michel Cousteau: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4XXd78yeHNs TEDx Whales Without Walls: https://www.ted.com/talks/charles_vinick_whales_without_walls/transcript?language=en Whales Without Walls short film: https://vimeo.com/385049610 Long Gone Wild Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C5T2AOjpSZs Charles Vinick + Ecosphere: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gZ6PbgaVw4A Learn more about Keiko's Legacy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=07rItwjRutI Beluga Whale Safety PSA: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ya2tLyMCgXE&t=45s Gabby Reece Interview:  https://thegabbyreeceshow.libsyn.com/charles-vinick-on-marine-life-intelligence-amongst-wildlife-activism-and-the-legacy-of-keiko   “Today a family can go whale watching, for probably less money, and a greater experience than going to a marine park” - Charles Vinick   TO SUGGEST A GUEST YOU CAN REACH US here: guest@ourepicocean.com or take the EPIC OCEAN CHALLENGE follow this link: https://www.ourepicocean.com/challengevid

This week, Mitchell interviews the world-renowned conservationist, ocean-protector, Jacques-Yves Cousteau's grandson, FabienCousteau who has continued and advanced the family's important legacy. Fabien spent his early years aboard his famous grandfather's ships, Calypso and Alcyone; and learning how to scuba dive on his fourth birthday. He is well known for his study of sharks and from 2000-2002, Fabien was an Explorer-at-Large for National Geographic and collaborated on a TV special aimed at changing public conceptions about sharks called, “Attack of the Mystery Shark,”. Then in 2003-2006, he produced the documentary, “Mind of a Demon,” that aired on CBS. With the help of a large crew, Fabien created a 14-foot, 1,200-pound, lifelike shark submarine called “Troy” that enabled him to immerse himself inside the shark world, providing viewers with a rare view of the mysterious and often misunderstood creatures. For the next four years (2006-2010), Fabien was part of a multi-hour series for PBS called, “Ocean Adventures” with his father, Jean-Michel Cousteau, and sister, Céline. Inspired by his grandfather's famous 1978 PBS series, “The Cousteau Odyssey”.  Fabien will be the keynote speaker at the 12th Annual Earth & World Peace Celebration on Sunday, April 21 in NYC.  Mitchell will be the host & MC.  For more, go to: www.planetheart.org. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/abwmitchellrabin/support
