He looked after the tortoise in life, and in death. James says: “You know, moving Lonesome George across the islands by truck, people were asking, what's in the box? I said it's Lonesome George and people were crying and it was just very moving".He tells Gill Kearsley how time ran out for Lonesome George and about the legacy he left.Eye-witness accounts brought to life by archive.

In this episode, Steph talks about planning and preparing in a different way...this time in regards to PACE. She emphasizes the need for speed in life can be great, but left unchecked often leads to burnout for people. She describes setting "upper" and "lower" bounds for efforts, and how it can help people maintain consistency and make meaningful progress without overwhelming themselves. The conversation draws on the classic fable of the tortoise and the hare to illustrate that slow and steady efforts often lead to greater success than a fast but unsustainable approach.Chapters00:00 Finding Your Sustainable Pace01:51 The Importance of Clarity and Vision04:32 Understanding Upper and Lower Bounds09:32 The Tortoise and the Hare: A Lesson in Pacing
