Juli BerwaldAuthor & PresidentTela CoralMarine invertebrates stole my heart on my first snorkel in the Red Sea during college. Hoping to study the ocean forever, I spent seven years building mathematical algorithms to interpret satellite imagery of the ocean, receiving my Ph.D. in ocean science.My husband stole my heart next, and I drifted away from the ocean to Austin, Texas to be with him. Over the years, we added two children and a couple of dogs to our family.Landlocked, I began writing textbooks and popular science articles for National Geographic Magazine, The New York Times, Nature, Science, The Wall Street Journal, Discover, The Smithsonian, and Texas Monthly among others. Eventually, the story of jellyfish led me back to the sea. Once there, I stayed, writing a book about corals as well.One day I received a message from a reader in Tela, Honduras who told me that the coral reef he co-managed was healthy. Impossible, I thought. But when I visited I discovered a dozen endangered species thriving. To help understand why, I co-founded Tela Coral, a non-profit whose aim is to understand the mysteries of this unexpected beacon of hope, a place nicknamed the Rebel Reef.Juli's WebsitesummaryIn this episode of the Big World Made Small podcast, host Jason Elkins speaks with Juli Berwald, an author and marine biologist, about her journey from a childhood spent rockhounding in the U.S. to her current work with Tela Coral in Honduras.

            My guest today, the noted muralist, John Cerney, is a Salinas, California native whose artwork can best be described as ‘giant cut-out plywood art' that's ordinarily viewed from the comfort of your car. There's a sense of Norman Rockwell to his work, with a dash of Christo.            After earning an art degree from Cal State Long Beach in 1984, John worked in Southern California as a portrait artist, rendering finely detailed pencil drawings. His patrons were television producers, actors, and writers, with such clients as the late comedian John Candy and baseball star Reggie Jackson.            Wanting to reach a larger audience, John would periodically relocate to Central California and convince a farmer to allow him to paint a mural on his barn, just for practice. This led to commissions from local businesses. A major shift happened when he added cutout plywood pieces to his barn murals. Eventually, he abandoned barns and walls altogether, concentrating on the cut-outs themselves.When the scale of his work got much larger, it attracted ad agencies and businesses from around the country. By then he had a blueprint for the way to create his art installations, which he still does to this day. John splits his time working on commissions from clients across the country and his own personal projects that allow him to explore his unusual form of public art. John's work can be found in 23 states around the U.S. And his work has been featured in National Geographic Magazine, Smithsonian Magazine, and the New York Times. https://www.johncerneymurals.com/Instagram: @johncerney

Our guest, Heather Pringle, is a science writer who specializes in archaeology. Not only is Heather known for her groundbreaking research, this highly regarded author has written four other books and numerous articles that have been featured in such well-known publications as National Geographic Magazine, Discover, Scientific American, and Archaeology. Heather joins us to share all about her latest work. It's a revolutionary look at Viking culture and history… which has long been considered a male-only domain. However, Heather, through her extensive research, has spearheaded a 180-degree shift in that gender bias. In fact, she's transformed the entire way we view Viking culture: their leaders, warriors, artisans and explorers. Her book is called THE NORTHWOMEN: UNTOLD STORIES FROM THE OTHER HALF OF THE VIKING WORLD. If you want to expand your beliefs, inspire your imagination and travel back in time to honor those early North Women, be sure to catch this one!

Save the gorilla! Protect tigers! Help the giant kangaroo rats! You've probably heard the first two slogans but maybe not the last one. We're often keen to support the conservation of animals like gorillas and tigers but less sympathetic to creatures like rats. Are our stereotypes affecting which animals we choose to protect?拯救大猩猩！ 保护老虎！ 帮助巨型袋鼠！ 您可能听说过前两个口号，但可能没有听过最后一个。 我们常常热衷于支持对大猩猩和老虎等动物的保护，但对老鼠等动物却不太同情。 我们的刻板印象是否会影响我们选择保护哪些动物？Researchers have looked at the impact of 'warmth' – that's the perceived intentions, and 'competence' – the skill that different species appear to have. It's suggested that people are very keen to protect 'companions', such as dogs or monkeys, who score highly in warmth and competence. 'Predators', such as tigers or bears, score highly in competence but low in warmth. They are said to inspire awe and fear, and this means that while some people are keen to protect them, others hunt them. Animals seen as prey, like cows, rabbits, and pigs, generated more indifference, while people are prepared to actively harm those seen as low-warmth and low-competence 'pests', such as rats, mice, and fish.研究人员研究了“温暖”（即感知意图）和“能力”（不同物种似乎拥有的技能）的影响。 这表明人们非常热衷于保护“同伴”，例如狗或猴子，它们在温暖和能力方面得分很高。 “掠食者”，例如老虎或熊，在能力方面得分很高，但在温暖方面得分较低。 据说它们会激发敬畏和恐惧，这意味着虽然有些人热衷于保护它们，但另一些人却在猎杀它们。 被视为猎物的动物，如牛、兔子和猪，产生了更多的冷漠，而人们则准备积极伤害那些被视为低热情和低能力的“害虫”，如老鼠和鱼。However, this might not be the full story. National Geographic Magazine asked their readers which animals were the most important to save. Four of the top five fit the companion or predator types – elephants, tigers, whales and polar bears. But the most popular animal to save was the bee. It seems that apart from concerns around warmth and competence, people are aware how species can impact the wider ecosystem and value bees as pollinators.然而，这可能不是故事的全部。 《国家地理》杂志询问读者哪些动物最值得拯救。 前五名中有四种属于伴侣或捕食者类型——大象、老虎、鲸鱼和北极熊。 但最受欢迎的动物是蜜蜂。 似乎除了对温暖和能力的担忧之外，人们还意识到物种如何影响更广泛的生态系统，并重视蜜蜂作为传粉媒介的价值。According to some reports, 27,000 species are becoming extinct every year. How do zoos and conservation projects decide which animals to support? One factor is the importance of an animal to the wider ecosystem, but this can lead to some difficult choices. Phys.org reports that in Australia, koalas are much less important to the ecosystem than some lesser-known animals such as woylies. However, they also suggest a solution to this issue. To conserve cute animals, such as koalas, it's important to protect their entire habitat – and this can save a wide range of species. It could be that many animals can be sheltered by koalas' cuteness.据一些报告称，每年有 27,000 个物种灭绝。 动物园和保护项目如何决定支持哪些动物？ 其中一个因素是动物对更广泛的生态系统的重要性，但这可能会导致一些困难的选择。 Phys.org 报道称，在澳大利亚，考拉对生态系统的重要性远不如一些鲜为人知的动物（例如考拉）。 然而，他们也提出了解决这个问题的方法。 为了保护考拉等可爱的动物，保护它们的整个栖息地非常重要 - 这可以拯救多种物种。 考拉的可爱可能可以庇护许多动物。词汇表conservation （动植物或资源的）保护warmth 温暖，热情competence 能力species 物种companion 伴侣，同伴predator 掠食者awe 敬畏hunt 捕猎prey 猎物harm 伤害pest 害虫，有害的动物concern 关心的事情，担忧的事情wider ecosystem 更广泛的生态系统pollinator 授粉者extinct 灭绝woylie 毛尾袋鼠habitat 栖息地shelter 提供庇护

Born into an impoverished Ozarks hillbilly upbringing, Barbara Jenkins was always a dreamer, which led her to high adventure. As a young woman living in New Orleans in 1976, she dropped work on her master's degree to walk across America with her newly wedded husband, Peter Jenkins. Their three-year, 3,000-mile walk across America became one of the most popular stories in the National Geographic Magazine in 1979. Her story is one of faith, courage, fortitude, humility and forgiveness – all essential elements of the spiritual journey. After 40 years of silence, Barbara now reveals how she experienced the famous walk across America and its crushing aftermath in her memoir, So Long as It's Wild. In this episode we learn about the spiritual lessons she learned on her compelling life adventure. Some of the many things we discuss are: · We are all dreamers –cultivate your own dreams! · Callings don't necessarily come as a command, but as a question · You declare your own destiny by the next step that you take – it's not preordained · There are many ways we are protected by the Divine · Endurance and long-suffering can serve us well – they prepare us for future challenges · Walking in faith is not knowing what the next step is - taking life one day at a time and trusting God to lead you · Every person has a destiny – it's important to find your own · We can use our internal struggles to catapult us to greater things · Fear of the unknown keeps us stuck · The importance of telling your own story · Spirit guides show up in many ways, including people and animals · There is so much beauty and life around us that we fail to notice “Although Peter chose a different path than the one we started together, all human beings are flawed, and I'm chief among them,” says Jenkins. “I was pathetically naive, codependent, self-righteous, and stubborn as an Ozark mule. For reasons I may never understand this side of eternity, walking across America; enduring heartache, love, and loss; and laying down my marriage was my destiny. And I wouldn't change a thing. It was tangled and messy at times, but I've learned to do two things: keep repenting and keep forgiving. God's grace will do the rest. Let not your heart be troubled. Go on your way because like me, whatever your destiny is, you are the apple of God's eye. Hear the words of my dirt-poor and sweet ole' Granny from the Ozarks: ‘Everything will be all right.'” — Barbara Jenkins website: https://www.barbarajojenkins.com/ book: https://www.amazon.com/So-Long-Its-Wild-Standing/dp/1947297716 © the spiritual forum 2023

NOTE| This episode is longer than usual--> ‘Top of The Game (in) Overtime'. These are released occasionally and are longer-form conversations than our usual ~15 min run times.  LAKPA'S BIO Lakpa Rita Sherpa is a truly singular human being and is one of the most prolific and accomplished mountain climbers in the world and has achieved remarkable feats that place him at the very top of the game, in his case, the top of the world. He has summited Mount Everest (29,035 ft) 17 times across 25 expeditions guiding a record 253 climbers to the peak of the highest point on earth. If that is not enough, Lakpa became the first sherpa and Nepali to ever climb the “Seven Summits,” the tallest mountain on every continent. Before there was a term for what he does, Extreme Sports, he was doing it to make a living and for the love of the majesty of the tallest mountain range in the world.  He is as selfless as he is accomplished and has put his life at risk multiple times rescuing stranded Everest climbers. He has been profiled in many outlets across the media including National Geographic Magazine and was named an Adventurer of the Year by Outside Magazine in 2013.  Lakpa, the oldest of 8 siblings, became a sherpa as a teenager to provide for his family after his dad suffered an accident in the Himalayas which claimed some of his toes and fingers. Lakpa's first mountaineering experience was on Mount Everest and on that fateful day, an avalanche just below Camp 3 nearly killed him. Thinking he would never climb again after his first try, he persevered. The rest of the story is the stuff of legend. Lakpa's success has taught him lessons in working hard, overcoming challenges, having patience, channeling focus, managing risk, living with stress and achieving the impossible. Lakpa's early year climbs meant he was one of a few people at Everest, is saddened and concerned with the level of incompetence and massive crowds seen today. We discuss the tug of war between having a vibrant mountain economy and the jobs it creates in Nepal with degrading alpine ecosystems and tragedies that befall unprepared visitors, accidents and death.   He spent 30 years guiding expeditions at Alpine Ascents and today owns and runs Khangri Experience with his brother Kami.  Entrepreneurship is his latest challenge to conquer. Overachievement runs in the family, his brother Kami has summited Everest a record 28 times. This conversation is one of the most fascinating talks I have ever had. “Hiked four hours to school, each way” “My first ever climb as a Sherpa was on Everest…triggered an avalanche near Camp Three, luckily I survived” EPISODE OUTLINE (00:00) - Introduction (00:38) - Bio (01:13) - Incredible early years in the Himalayas; 4-hour hike to school  (03:33) - Becoming a Sherpa; making a living (04:33) - First ever attempt at Mt Everest; almost killed by avalanche at 24,000ft (08:00) - Challenges, grit, perseverance  (09:00) - Summiting Everest 17 times and 7 world summits - first Nepalese to do it (09:46) - Becoming the best; learning, expeditions and extreme challenges (12:42) - Tourism economy and jobs; good and bad (13:30) - Training, training, training (14:21) - Then and now; conquering mountains or making a living (16:23) - The commercial boom, ecosystem degradation, challenge (17:00) - Quite a few don't know how to use a crampon; scary and dumb (18:05) - Big problems with inexperience and outsized risk; crowds (18:45) - Good side and bad side of the Everest tourism economy  (19:44) - Don't start at the tallest mountain on earth; step by step (20:45) - Smart economic development saves lives and habitats (21:49) - Avoiding deaths and a government role controlling ascents (22:56) - Mentality, philosophy, mindset; start with experience  (26:22) - Becoming an entrepreneur; life choices, owning destiny (29:02) - Outro LAKPA'S RELATED LINKS Climbed Everest 17 times — working for others.

In episode 97, we are diving into a world that is a bit foreign to me but has fascinated me for a long time: wildlife photography. Many listeners likely enjoy photography as a hobby or profession. This artistic pursuit is one way we can spend time in nature and get to know the world more intimately.  So, why are we talking about photography on this show? Minimalism in the world of photography is a topic that is brushed over relatively quickly and often. So, when Daniel J. Cox approached me, I was intrigued by the idea of discussing the evolution of photography over the last few decades, the trend of minimalism both in gear and as an artistic concept, and how having and doing less can sometimes lead to a more efficient process.  Daniel J. Cox has been documenting the world of nature for over four decades. His work has appeared in National Geographic Magazine and many other publications related to conservation issues. He was recently awarded the Environmental Impact Award from the North American Nature Photographers Association, and he's firmly committed to scaling down, which includes the equipment he uses to produce his work.  INSTAGRAM: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/outdoor.minimalist.book/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ WEBSITE: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.theoutdoorminimalist.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ YOUTUBE: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@theoutdoorminimalist⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ORDER THE BOOK: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.theoutdoorminimalist.com/book⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ VENMO: ⁠⁠⁠⁠@OutdoorMinimalist⁠⁠⁠⁠ --------------- Daniel J Cox (Natural Exposures) YouTube: @danieljcox Website: https://naturalexposures.com/about-us/staff/daniel-j-cox/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/naturalexposures Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/danieljcoxne/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/danieljcox/ --------------- Related Episodes 40.

David stops by to discuss just how he predicted a global zoonotic viral pandemic in his book "Spillover" all the way back in 2012, the lessons we've learned (or not learned) about pandemic preparedness in the aftermath of COVID-19/SARS-CoV-2, why bats are such notable reservoir hosts, and much more, including his new page-turner "The Heartbeat of the Wild" about his years of globetrotting the very wildest places on the planet Earth while reporting for National Geographic Magazine.

Throughout 21 tales, from two decades of his assignments with National Geographic, Quammen takes readers to places where civilization meets raw nature and explores the challenge of balancing the needs of both.

Today Mariel & Melissa welcome Cory Richards to the show! Cory is an internationally renowned photographer, filmmaker/director, and writer. He is an artist and storyteller who passionately explores the human experience through all mediums. Cory uses his life as a conduit to illuminate the global issues we face and how to overcome them through re-humanization, the reimagining of leadership, and vulnerability.  His work for National Geographic Magazine began with adventure features, exploring the most remote corners of the globe from Antarctica to the Russian Arctic. As a professional climber, his early career was defined by high-risk expeditions and leaned on his unique skillset to capture stories that were largely out of reach to others. Much of Cory's life has been defined by his journey with Mental Health to which he speaks openly and honestly, laying bare the hidden struggles that so many face in silence and solitude. As a high school dropout at 14, his life has followed an irregular arch that has lent itself well to exploring the balance of high achievement and struggles with mental health.

“Nobody wants to work anymore”...the problem is that has been said for well over 100 years now! I saw a headline all the way back to 1894 declaring that “nobody wants to work anymore”.  This is not a new problem.  If we're not careful, our negativity will breed a culture where work is seen as… Cursed A means to an end  As a lifeless 9 to 5, tryin' to make a livin'  Hallucinating that it's 5 o'clock somewhere Something to “take and shove it” Just another Manic Monday  Work is deeper than that, more powerful than that Work is an opportunity… Proverbs 12:11 - “A hard worker has plenty of food, but a person who chases fantasies has no sense.” We say, “nobody wants to work anymore!”...when in reality they just don't want to work for you because you are grumpy! Instead, we need to build  A CULTURE WHERE PEOPLE DO WISH TO DO HARD THINGS! There will always be a mountain to climb in building a culture of intentionality within your business.   Business is hard…running a business is even harder.   Let's stop pretending that our circumstance is unique…because business is hard, business can also be good. So what is the mountain of our time?   Dr. Tim Elmore would argue that one primary element is the unprecedented generational diversity, we are experiencing because it is the number one topic that he is asked to speak on as a researcher of youth culture.   How do you mix the soil of culture so that it is rich enough to handle the diversity of generational seeds being planted?  How do we mix that culture so that it makes the next generation…ALL generations, excited to work? FIRST, WHAT IS CULTURE?  Culture is not a business term…it is a biology term Culture is a Petri Dish: what goes in the dish is what grows out of the dish Good in…good out (give examples) Bad in…bad out (give examples) The culture of your business is a DIRECT RESULT of the ingredients that you allow to enter the mash bill. Here are 4 ingredients to mix in the cocktail of a healthy business culture that the next generation will be excited to work in… FAM Time: Team Meeting Must have a means of communication (Imagine if the underwater cables were cut between the US and Europe?) STORY: Story written by Capt. George O. Squier in an article for The National Geographic Magazine in Jan, 1901 said, “the submarine (cable) is a powerful instrument of war, more powerful, indeed, than battleships and cruisers, since by its wonderful and instantaneous, communications of thought, it brings distant countries (team members) and colonies (teams) together in sympathy, which is the only true and permanent tie.” A culture that is missing the nutrient of human connection When communication is choppy, infrequent, unpredictable, or limited …you have missed opportunities and Low Morale Thought, ideas, implementation, updating process, engagement  Clarity, input, teamwork  The opportunity for sympathy and empathy…which is the “only true and permanent tie” When communication is repetitious, predictable, and meaningful…you have →  The second thing that the next generation needs in order to work and lead?  GET “LIT”: Line-Item Training Every sports team, every military command has one thing in common…if they aren't playing a game or fighting  battle…they are practicing and preparing for one Your vacation policy? How to properly perform an electrical walk? How to post a bid schedule? How to job cost? How to identify an ideal client? How to properly dress?   When was the last time you trained your team on… Admit the “L” The hallmark leadership trait of the older generation is defined by… Stuffy Know it all  A “Chotch” - someone who is unpleasant to be around Find the Spotify playlist of someone younger than you and commit to listen  Eminem - lose yourself in the moment, you own it you never ever let it go Post Malone - I was patient, aye, oh, Now I can scream that we made it, Now everyone, everywhere I go, they say 'gratulations…I pick up the rock and I ball baby, I'm looking for someone to call baby, but right now I've got a situation… Start learning new things Self-deprecation goes a LOOOOOONG way among a younger culture  ACTION → ask someone younger than you for their playlist, listen, and share what you heard STAN the culture calendar “Stan” - be obsessed but not in a creepy way The culture calendar is a business playsheet with scripted plays. It is simple to build and will require you to think through a few different categories. First, layout the months and dates by weeks at the top of your culture calendar. Then, on the vertical column on the left hand side you will break this down into different categories.  We recommend starting with weekly, monthly, quarterly, twice-annually, and annually.   In other words, what are the “business ingredients” you wish to make part of your culture each week, month, quarter, etc. You don't need to waste time and energy grumbling about how “nobody wants to work anymore”.  They just don't want to work for grumps…they want to give all they've got to a great culture by… FAM Time: Team Meeting GET “LIT”: Line-Item Training Admit the “L” STAN the culture calendar

The McRaven House of Vicksburg, Mississippi has earned a national reputation for the amount of paranormal activity said to occur there. The home was said to be first built in 1797 as the hideout for a notorious highwayman. Over the next 220+ years, McRaven was expanded twice, survived the brutal Siege of Vicksburg during the Civil War, served as a hospital during that same conflict, and been a home to numerous families. Largely unchanged since the additions were constructed, each section of McRaven House: Pioneer, Empire, and Greek Revival, remain excellent examples of the architecture and lifestyle of the time that they were constructed. This feat is so unique that in 1963 National Geographic Magazine did a feature on the home, calling it a “Time Capsule of the South.”  Today open to the public for tours, McRaven House serves as one of the most complete and well-preserved homes in Vicksburg from the antebellum era.

Damien Mander is the founder and CEO of the International Anti-Poaching Foundation (IAPF). He is a former Australian Royal Navy clearance diver and a special operations military sniper who became an anti-poaching crusader and an environmental and animal welfare activist.  In 2009, while traveling through Africa, he was inspired by the work of rangers and the plight of wildlife. He liquidated his life savings and established the International Anti-Poaching Foundation. Over the past decade, the IAPF has scaled to train and support rangers which now help protect over 20 million acres of African wilderness.  In 2017 Damien founded ‘Akashinga - Nature Protected by Women,' an IAPF program that has already grown to over 240 employees with 7 nature reserves in the portfolio. They are the only group of nature reserves in the world to be protected by women. And, these women are changing the game in terms of what it means to fight poaching. Damien was featured in the James Cameron documentary The Game Changers and has now released another documentary with James Cameron and National Geographic about his work with the women of Akashinga – “The Brave One's.”  He is a resident of the National Geographic Speakers Bureau, has spoken at the United Nations, is featured in June 2019's National Geographic Magazine, and has been featured three times on 60 Minutes. And, if you haven't seen it, watch his TEDx Talk at the Sidney Oprah House, it's just awesome.  It was an honor to spend time with Damien. He is a warrior, a hero, and a man who understands what it means to never stop evolving.
