For our first podcast of 2026 we feature an interview with David Bautista of Tcarta, based out of their St John's Newfoundland office where they work closley with the staff of Memorial University, another valued Seabed 2030 Partner. Contact David at david@tcarta.com and see the Tcarta website here. David is originally from Colombia, and finds the contrast ith Newfoundland quite noticeable! In the interview he taks about how satellite derived bathymetry (SBD) can play an important role in ocean mapping over shallow, clear, waters where the orbiting sensors can see the seabed well enough to make good estimates of bathymetry. It doesn't work much beyond a few tens of metres depth or in turbid waters, but can add valuable data to the global grid where the conditions are right. Their homepage describes TCarta's service as "Remote Satellite-Based Hydrospatial Technologies, leveraging a long history of providing bathymetric data and seafloor mapping for marine applications, TCarta offers inland, coastal and offshore hydrospatial and geospatial mapping systems and solutions for geospatial remote sensing intelligence, coastal engineering, environmental and coastal monitoring, and global mapping applications. Our dedicated team of GIS professionals, hydrographers, imagery analysts, and developers, along with our ecosystem of partner companies, work together to provide full-scope solutions to real world topics in a variety of applications – from engineering and exploration, to navigation and environmental monitoring, and Geospatial Intelligence. We have worked in the coastal waters throughout the globe and with large scale surveying initiatives in the Pacific, Caribbean and Indian Oceans and specific focus on remote island nations and challenging environments in the Middle East and Arctic regions."Find out more about Seabed 2030 here, and contact podast producer Steve Hall as partnerships@seabed2030.org Please note that in March we will be attending Economist World Ocean Summit in Montreal, and Oceanology International in London - with a special set of talks from our partners on 11th March.

Send us a textDid the original Food Pyramid quietly help create America's modern health crisis?In this eye-opening episode of the Strong by Design Podcast, Coach Chris Wilson sits down with nutrition and weight-loss expert William Grazione (The Educated Dieter) to unpack one of the most controversial topics in modern nutrition history — the 1992 Food Pyramid and its long-term consequences.This isn't political spin or diet culture noise. It's a fact-based, no-nonsense discussion about how government nutrition guidance, ultra-processed foods, and profit-driven food systems collided — and why obesity, diabetes, and metabolic disease exploded in the decades that followed.You'll learn how ultra-processed foods became “normal,” why cereal and refined carbs sabotage blood sugar, and why most dieting strategies fail people long-term. Chris and William also break down why body composition matters more than the scale, how muscle protects your metabolism, and what actually works if you want to lose fat and keep it off.This is Part 1 of a powerful two-part conversation that challenges outdated nutrition advice and gives you a smarter framework for health.

Send us a textWhat really happened behind the scenes of The Biggest Loser—and what did it cost the contestants?In this episode of the Strong by Design Podcast, Coach Chris Wilson is joined by fitness industry veteran Mike Westerdal and super fan and fitness enthusiast Lindsay Hurley for a powerful reaction to Netflix's eye-opening documentary Fit for TV: The Reality of The Biggest Loser. Together, they break down how one of the most popular reality TV shows of all time captivated millions through extreme transformations—while quietly pushing bodies to dangerous limits.From brutal workouts and starvation-level diets to near-death moments, abuse allegations, and massive rebound weight gain after the cameras stopped rolling, this conversation exposes why extremes make great television—but terrible health strategies. You'll hear why responsible coaches would never train clients this way, how rapid weight loss wrecks metabolism, and what the show actually changed in the fitness and reality TV industries.Most importantly, this episode drives home the lesson that real transformation isn't flashy—it's built on consistency, sustainability, and long-term habits. If you've ever been inspired, disturbed, or conflicted by transformation TV, this is a must-listen conversation that separates entertainment from evidence-based health.Listen in, share the episode, and leave a rating and review to support the Strong by Design Podcast.

Send us a textLosing weight after 40 can backfire if it's done the wrong way—and in this episode of the Strong By Design Podcast, we uncover why that matters more than ever. Coach Chris Wilson sits down with Dr. Ron Eccles to explore the growing role of peptides and GLP-based therapies in sustainable weight and fat loss. Dr. Eccles breaks down peptides in simple terms, explaining how gut hormones like GLP-1, GLP-2, and GIP influence hunger, metabolism, and body composition. Together, they discuss why weight loss alone doesn't equal better health—and how preserving muscle, protecting joints, and improving metabolic health must be part of the equation.The conversation also tackles America's declining health outcomes, the concept of the “bliss point” in eating behavior, and what truly happens after you reach your target weight. Dr. Eccles shares insights on emerging peptide technologies, common myths around GLPs, and why lifestyle factors like sleep, movement, and nutrition determine long-term success. You'll also hear real-world lessons from clinical practice, including differences between men and women and the key health metrics that actually matter. This episode is a must-listen for anyone curious about modern weight-loss solutions and how to approach them safely, intelligently, and with long-term health in mind.

Send us a textIn this special Thanksgiving episode, Coach Chris Wilson dives into the timeless ideas from Adam Grant's bestselling book Give and Take — exploring how gratitude, generosity, and giving back can transform not just your relationships, but your success and happiness as well.As the world slows down for the holiday, this is the perfect time to reflect on who's helped you get where you are, and how you can pour back into others. Chris breaks down the three types of people — Givers, Takers, and Matchers — and shares how adopting a giver's mindset can multiply your impact without burning out.You'll hear insights on:How gratitude fuels generosity — and how giving deepens gratitude.The difference between selfless and “otherish” giving (and why one sustains you while the other drains you).Why leading with generosity creates stronger relationships, richer opportunities, and lasting fulfillment.How to make Thanksgiving more than a holiday — but a habit of the heart.Chris also shares practical ways to live these ideas daily — from small acts of kindness to building a gratitude and giving practice that rewires how you lead, live, and love.This is a heartfelt reminder that success isn't just about what you get — it's about what you give. Because when you give first, everyone wins.Share it with a friend, family member, or teammate who's made a difference in your life.
