On this episode, I sit down for a fascinating conversation with environmental conservationist, PhD marine biologist, MBA, and executive director and founder of Upwell, Dr. George Shillinger.

George and his team are making monumental discoveries about the movements of sea turtles through the use of cutting edge tracking technology. Every day, he and his team are helping put changes in place to save these amazing creatures. Our conversation covers; what started his passion for turtles, how society can balance our livelihoods with the world's natural resources, why having role models in your career drives innovations, what is causing sea turtle populations to struggle and what we can do to help prevent them from going extinct, the unique ways organizations like Upwell are collecting sea turtle data and what it means for the future of conservation, an overview of some educational institutions with amazing ocean conservation and marine programs, and so much more!

We get a lot of questions from fans about how to write and sell books. So we decided to bring on someone who lives and breathes that world. On this episode, I sit down with fellow adventurer, and founder of ShelfLife, Alex Strathdee. His weekly newsletter is one of just a few I've ever recommended and his podcast is a must listen to for aspiring authors and authors who want to find more readers.

During our discussion we talk about Alex's journey to finding his calling, how to rediscover yourself when you’re lost and don’t know what to do, turning failures and loss into learning experiences, understanding that sometimes it's the 3rd or 4th iteration of an idea that turns into the ”big idea”, why it’s okay to spend time searching in life, taking the leap into an adventure, strategies for avoiding burnout, learning to grow a business, and lots more about the book world!
