<v Speaker 2>the three Wildlife Educators of world travelers that have been

00:03:00.319 --> 00:03:04.080
<v Speaker 2>absolutely catapulted into fame and stardom as they have been

19
00:03:04.159 --> 00:03:07.919
<v Speaker 2>voted on YouTube to become the three finalists competition to

20
00:03:07.919 --> 00:03:12.400
<v Speaker 2>become Mutual of Omaha's next Wild Kingdom's Wild Guide. Now,

21
00:03:12.439 --> 00:03:15.280
<v Speaker 2>what has happened is this? The well known television show

22
00:03:15.319 --> 00:03:18.520
<v Speaker 2>Wild Kingdom is approaching its fiftieth anniversary and the show's

23
00:03:18.520 --> 00:03:21.360
<v Speaker 2>sponsor of Mutual of Omaha has in recent weeks launched

24
00:03:21.360 --> 00:03:25.159
<v Speaker 2>a video competition on YouTube. Over five million people five

25
00:03:25.240 --> 00:03:28.560
<v Speaker 2>million have viewed the over two hundred video submissions and

26
00:03:28.680 --> 00:03:32.039
<v Speaker 2>voted on their favorites. Twelve semi finalists were chosen. From that,

27
00:03:32.159 --> 00:03:35.319
<v Speaker 2>three finalists were picked. Jungle Deep has for you this

28
00:03:35.479 --> 00:03:40.800
<v Speaker 2>exclusive program interviewing with all three finalists Stephanie Arnie, Thiago

29

<v Speaker 2>Bahia and Regina Bussi. And in the weeks ahead, these

30
00:03:44.520 --> 00:03:48.360
<v Speaker 2>three finalists, who have now each won three thousand dollars,

31
00:03:48.599 --> 00:03:51.360
<v Speaker 2>will be flown to headquarters and complete a series of

32
00:03:51.439 --> 00:03:55.400
<v Speaker 2>meetings and auditions with the TV program leadership. One will

33
00:03:55.439 --> 00:03:58.360
<v Speaker 2>be chosen, be awarded ten thousand dollars, and will host

34
00:03:58.400 --> 00:04:02.240
<v Speaker 2>an anniversary Internet tea TV show this fall. The winner

35
00:04:02.240 --> 00:04:06.759
<v Speaker 2>will be announced July fifteenth. Obviously, the stakes are high,

36
00:04:06.840 --> 00:04:09.960
<v Speaker 2>as all three finalists expect this opportunity to be life

37
00:04:10.080 --> 00:04:12.840
<v Speaker 2>changing for them, and I, for one, will be listening

38
00:04:12.919 --> 00:04:15.439
<v Speaker 2>to hear which one sounds best able to put their

39
00:04:15.479 --> 00:04:18.600
<v Speaker 2>personal ego aside during this heady time and be most

40
00:04:18.680 --> 00:04:21.000
<v Speaker 2>committed to helping our endangered planet.

41
00:04:21.120 --> 00:04:23.079
<v Speaker 8>But that's just me. What do you think?

42
00:04:23.319 --> 00:04:26.600
<v Speaker 2>Who would you choose? Let's find out just for fun

43
00:04:26.639 --> 00:04:29.160
<v Speaker 2>I found some fitting music to book in each discussion,

44
00:04:29.480 --> 00:04:31.720
<v Speaker 2>in each case, the name of the contestant is part

45
00:04:31.720 --> 00:04:34.480
<v Speaker 2>of the name of the song. First up is Stephanie Arnie.

48
00:04:40.839 --> 00:04:41.240

56
00:05:19.959 --> 00:05:21.319
<v Speaker 8>Welcome steph to Jungle Deep.

57
00:05:22.040 --> 00:05:22.360
<v Speaker 9>Hello.

58
00:05:23.240 --> 00:05:25.319
<v Speaker 2>I know this has been a very exciting time for you.

59
00:05:26.079 --> 00:05:26.800
<v Speaker 8>Lot's going on.

60
00:05:26.920 --> 00:05:30.759
<v Speaker 2>You're doing all kinds of interviews, becoming world famous just

61
00:05:31.199 --> 00:05:33.639
<v Speaker 2>as a semi Well, you're not a semi finalist anymore.

62
00:05:33.639 --> 00:05:36.439
<v Speaker 2>You're a finalist. You're one of three in the Big

63
00:05:36.519 --> 00:05:39.920
<v Speaker 2>wild Guide competition. So tell us a little bit about

64
00:05:39.959 --> 00:05:42.120
<v Speaker 2>what what is the wild Guide to you?

65
00:05:42.560 --> 00:05:44.600
<v Speaker 10>Oh, what is the position of Wild Guide, Like, what

66
00:05:44.639 --> 00:05:45.920
<v Speaker 10>do you what do I think it'll take?

67
00:05:46.120 --> 00:05:49.360
<v Speaker 8>Right? What is it? What is it you're competing for?

68
00:05:50.079 --> 00:05:52.480
<v Speaker 10>Okay, Well, first of all, this is a contest from

69
00:05:52.560 --> 00:05:55.079
<v Speaker 10>Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom. This is a show that

70
00:05:55.199 --> 00:05:59.120
<v Speaker 10>was really popular from nineteen sixty three to nineteen eighty five.

71
00:05:59.439 --> 00:06:02.839
<v Speaker 10>They've also produced a lot of really awesome documentaries as well,

72
00:06:03.279 --> 00:06:05.560
<v Speaker 10>and the Wild Guides back then, you know, like Jim

73
00:06:05.639 --> 00:06:10.399
<v Speaker 10>Fowler and Marlon Perkins. These men were brave and knowledgeable

74
00:06:10.879 --> 00:06:14.319
<v Speaker 10>and daredevil's in my eyes. And they used to go

75
00:06:14.360 --> 00:06:18.160
<v Speaker 10>out all over the world and teach people about African animals,

76
00:06:18.199 --> 00:06:21.079
<v Speaker 10>and of course, in that same process would teach about

77
00:06:21.079 --> 00:06:24.439
<v Speaker 10>how the people around in those areas coexisted with those animals.

78
00:06:24.519 --> 00:06:27.879
<v Speaker 10>So it's just a really fascinating show. These people were

79
00:06:28.040 --> 00:06:31.120
<v Speaker 10>opening up the world to their audience, you know, right

80
00:06:31.160 --> 00:06:34.439
<v Speaker 10>there in the homes. So I think it's an incredible position.

81
00:06:35.040 --> 00:06:39.480
<v Speaker 10>I found out about it because of a former coworker

82
00:06:39.560 --> 00:06:42.839
<v Speaker 10>of mine from the Omaha Zoo. She had known that

83
00:06:43.000 --> 00:06:46.279
<v Speaker 10>I was working towards wanting to become a Wild Guide

84
00:06:46.319 --> 00:06:49.600
<v Speaker 10>and have my own TV show here in Hawaii, but

85
00:06:50.240 --> 00:06:52.800
<v Speaker 10>she had overheard that Mutual of Omaha was going to

86
00:06:52.800 --> 00:06:54.920
<v Speaker 10>have a contest to find their wild Guide and as

87
00:06:54.920 --> 00:06:56.800
<v Speaker 10>soon as I heard that, I was like, this is it.

88
00:06:56.920 --> 00:06:59.439
<v Speaker 10>This is for me, this is what I've been working towards.

89
00:06:59.639 --> 00:07:01.839
<v Speaker 10>So yeah, I went for it, Ken and now I'm

90
00:07:01.839 --> 00:07:03.240
<v Speaker 10>a finalist and it's crazy.

91
00:07:03.759 --> 00:07:06.240
<v Speaker 2>Well what were you doing before the competition?

92
00:07:06.600 --> 00:07:09.920
<v Speaker 10>Well, I am currently the education Outreach coordinator for the

93
00:07:09.959 --> 00:07:14.639
<v Speaker 10>Honolulu Zoological Society here in Honolulu Houai and I have

94
00:07:14.759 --> 00:07:18.000
<v Speaker 10>been here for about a year and my main job

95
00:07:18.160 --> 00:07:22.680
<v Speaker 10>is to do tours and shows. I go out into

96
00:07:22.759 --> 00:07:26.519
<v Speaker 10>the schools and organizations and businesses all around the island

97
00:07:26.560 --> 00:07:29.839
<v Speaker 10>of Oahu and neighboring islands as well, teaching about wildlife

98
00:07:29.839 --> 00:07:30.920
<v Speaker 10>and wildlife conservation.

99
00:07:31.439 --> 00:07:34.160
<v Speaker 2>What were your goals before this competition? Because I know

100
00:07:34.199 --> 00:07:36.759
<v Speaker 2>the competition like this tends to change one's focus and

101
00:07:36.800 --> 00:07:39.839
<v Speaker 2>goals for the future, But before the competition, what were

102
00:07:39.879 --> 00:07:40.759
<v Speaker 2>your goals at that point?

103
00:07:41.079 --> 00:07:43.720
<v Speaker 10>I guess I thought the ultimate for me, even if

104
00:07:43.720 --> 00:07:45.839
<v Speaker 10>we go back to four years ago, was just traveling

105
00:07:45.920 --> 00:07:48.360
<v Speaker 10>the world and seeing animals not only in zoos and

106
00:07:48.399 --> 00:07:51.040
<v Speaker 10>a crams and wildlife sanctuaries, but in the wild as well.

107
00:07:51.199 --> 00:07:54.279
<v Speaker 10>So my goals and my dreams have gotten larger and

108
00:07:54.360 --> 00:07:58.639
<v Speaker 10>larger as I move along, and after I did get

109
00:07:58.680 --> 00:08:01.160
<v Speaker 10>to travel and see these animals, I started being able

110
00:08:01.199 --> 00:08:03.600
<v Speaker 10>to tell that, Wow, I could actually dream even bigger

111
00:08:03.639 --> 00:08:06.079
<v Speaker 10>than this. So by the time I got back to

112
00:08:06.120 --> 00:08:08.399
<v Speaker 10>the US and I settled here in.

113
00:08:08.319 --> 00:08:11.519
<v Speaker 2>Hawaii, why did you enter the contest?

114
00:08:11.720 --> 00:08:14.480
<v Speaker 10>I entered the contest because this is a huge goal

115
00:08:14.519 --> 00:08:17.560
<v Speaker 10>of mine. I think coming to Hawaii, I wanted to

116
00:08:17.560 --> 00:08:20.879
<v Speaker 10>start a local TV show to expose all the amazing

117
00:08:20.879 --> 00:08:23.279
<v Speaker 10>wildlife organizations out there that are trying to help change

118
00:08:23.319 --> 00:08:26.639
<v Speaker 10>the world, and I wanted to help facilitate that. And

119
00:08:26.680 --> 00:08:29.279
<v Speaker 10>then when I found out from my old coworker about

120
00:08:29.279 --> 00:08:31.399
<v Speaker 10>this contest, I obviously had to go for it. It

121
00:08:31.480 --> 00:08:33.840
<v Speaker 10>was like, oh, my goodness, I could have a TV

122
00:08:33.879 --> 00:08:36.120
<v Speaker 10>show that's even bigger than a local TV show. It

123
00:08:36.159 --> 00:08:39.360
<v Speaker 10>could be an international TV show as well, and I

124
00:08:39.440 --> 00:08:41.279
<v Speaker 10>had to go for it. I would love to have

125
00:08:41.320 --> 00:08:44.759
<v Speaker 10>the opportunity to reach a larger audience to really share

126
00:08:44.799 --> 00:08:48.480
<v Speaker 10>my experience and knowledge and passion for wildlife and wildlife conservation.

127
00:08:48.960 --> 00:08:50.879
<v Speaker 10>So it would just be silly if I didn't do it.

128
00:08:51.240 --> 00:08:53.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it makes good sense. When you went into the

129
00:08:53.200 --> 00:08:55.440
<v Speaker 2>process of entering the competition, you had to create your

130
00:08:55.480 --> 00:09:00.039
<v Speaker 2>own video. Did you have those elements available to you?

131
00:08:59.600 --> 00:09:01.840
<v Speaker 2>I mean, you have to create a message and visuals

132
00:09:01.879 --> 00:09:04.919
<v Speaker 2>with video and stills, and decide on a style and

133
00:09:05.159 --> 00:09:07.159
<v Speaker 2>story and music and the editing.

134
00:09:08.240 --> 00:09:09.480
<v Speaker 8>Did you have all that at hand?

135
00:09:09.720 --> 00:09:09.919
<v Speaker 1>Well?

136
00:09:09.960 --> 00:09:12.879
<v Speaker 10>I was really lucky because of the goal that I

137
00:09:12.960 --> 00:09:14.879
<v Speaker 10>just mentioned that I wanted to have a local TV show,

138
00:09:15.000 --> 00:09:18.559
<v Speaker 10>I was fortunate enough to in my networking capabilities, I

139
00:09:18.600 --> 00:09:21.399
<v Speaker 10>was able to meet a person named Gary Sprinkle, and

140
00:09:21.480 --> 00:09:25.639
<v Speaker 10>he is a pretty well known anchorman here who's semi retired,

141
00:09:25.879 --> 00:09:29.320
<v Speaker 10>who's been helping me to create videos. He's been teaching

142
00:09:29.360 --> 00:09:31.879
<v Speaker 10>me video editing. I've learned a lot about how to

143
00:09:31.919 --> 00:09:34.519
<v Speaker 10>have a good on screen appearance. I've learned all the

144
00:09:34.600 --> 00:09:37.759
<v Speaker 10>details of just video and film production in the last year,

145
00:09:38.159 --> 00:09:41.240
<v Speaker 10>and I'm definitely nowhere near being a master. But I

146
00:09:41.360 --> 00:09:43.600
<v Speaker 10>feel very happy that I've gotten exposed to it so

147
00:09:43.600 --> 00:09:46.399
<v Speaker 10>I can respect all aspects to it. But when I

148
00:09:46.440 --> 00:09:48.399
<v Speaker 10>found out about this contest, he was like, Oh my gosh,

149
00:09:48.480 --> 00:09:51.519
<v Speaker 10>this is awesome. This is exactly what we been working for.

150
00:09:52.000 --> 00:09:55.200
<v Speaker 10>So fortunately he was there to assist me and guide

151
00:09:55.240 --> 00:09:57.720
<v Speaker 10>me in a way. But the whole concept of the

152
00:09:57.799 --> 00:10:00.639
<v Speaker 10>video was just a vision that I had. I wanted

153
00:10:00.679 --> 00:10:02.960
<v Speaker 10>to show the producers and I wanted to show all

154
00:10:03.000 --> 00:10:05.519
<v Speaker 10>the fans of Wild Kingdom that that I can be

155
00:10:05.600 --> 00:10:07.840
<v Speaker 10>a host and that I am very passionate about what

156
00:10:07.879 --> 00:10:11.159
<v Speaker 10>I do and I'm knowledgeable and very enthusiastic about it.

157
00:10:11.360 --> 00:10:13.320
<v Speaker 10>So when I made my video, I was like, Okay,

158
00:10:13.360 --> 00:10:15.000
<v Speaker 10>so I want to make it look like a real

159
00:10:15.039 --> 00:10:18.480
<v Speaker 10>TV show already, so they can just picture me in

160
00:10:18.519 --> 00:10:21.440
<v Speaker 10>their TV show. So I was going to have you know,

161
00:10:21.519 --> 00:10:24.960
<v Speaker 10>the beginning kind of boom boom boom, exciting adventurous music

162
00:10:25.039 --> 00:10:27.799
<v Speaker 10>with me traveling around the world working with animals and

163
00:10:27.840 --> 00:10:30.679
<v Speaker 10>then me you know, teaching about lemurs and then going

164
00:10:30.679 --> 00:10:33.799
<v Speaker 10>into the rainforest with chameleons. And yeah, so that whole

165
00:10:33.840 --> 00:10:36.519
<v Speaker 10>vision was you know, it came from this year Noggin.

166
00:10:36.840 --> 00:10:40.480
<v Speaker 10>But fortunately enough, I did have the help of two

167
00:10:40.879 --> 00:10:43.799
<v Speaker 10>really awesome friends of mine, Like I said, Gary Sprinkle,

168
00:10:43.799 --> 00:10:46.000
<v Speaker 10>who helped was a cameraman and help with video production,

169
00:10:46.480 --> 00:10:49.080
<v Speaker 10>and then another man named Telafaroh Brandon who helped me

170
00:10:49.399 --> 00:10:52.159
<v Speaker 10>with editing as well. But I am very adamant about

171
00:10:52.200 --> 00:10:54.799
<v Speaker 10>trying to learn all of these details on my own

172
00:10:54.879 --> 00:10:55.279
<v Speaker 10>as well.

173
00:10:55.399 --> 00:10:57.919
<v Speaker 2>So great, guys, that's a lot more to learn.

174
00:10:58.120 --> 00:10:59.159
<v Speaker 8>Well, now that you're in the.

175
00:10:59.120 --> 00:11:02.399
<v Speaker 2>Competition and there's a good chance, a good chance you

176
00:11:02.440 --> 00:11:05.360
<v Speaker 2>could be the next wild guide for the Wild Kingdom.

177
00:11:05.840 --> 00:11:07.600
<v Speaker 2>How's that changed your goals for the future?

178
00:11:07.919 --> 00:11:08.600
<v Speaker 8>Have they changed?

179
00:11:08.840 --> 00:11:09.080
<v Speaker 4>Yeah?

180
00:11:09.120 --> 00:11:11.159
<v Speaker 10>Oh, my goodness, the ceiling has been raised.

181
00:11:12.080 --> 00:11:12.279
<v Speaker 9>You know.

182
00:11:12.440 --> 00:11:14.919
<v Speaker 10>I think it's interesting that here, you know, growing up,

183
00:11:14.960 --> 00:11:17.159
<v Speaker 10>you have these limitations. You're like, oh, I think the

184
00:11:17.200 --> 00:11:19.840
<v Speaker 10>highest thing is working for me. I remember the top

185
00:11:19.919 --> 00:11:21.840
<v Speaker 10>job of San Diego Zoo, and then it was to

186
00:11:21.840 --> 00:11:23.559
<v Speaker 10>be able to work in on the Great Berry Reef,

187
00:11:23.600 --> 00:11:25.559
<v Speaker 10>and then it was maybe I could have a local

188
00:11:25.600 --> 00:11:28.799
<v Speaker 10>TV show. And now being exposed to this experience and

189
00:11:28.879 --> 00:11:31.600
<v Speaker 10>meeting producers from around the world and talking to TV

190
00:11:31.679 --> 00:11:34.360
<v Speaker 10>and radio stations, I'm finding that perhaps I can go

191
00:11:34.440 --> 00:11:37.919
<v Speaker 10>even bigger than that. And of course the message, which

192
00:11:38.000 --> 00:11:41.759
<v Speaker 10>is wildlife conservation, is always in the back of my mind.

193
00:11:42.039 --> 00:11:45.120
<v Speaker 10>So now I think, with the exposure in the knowledge

194
00:11:45.159 --> 00:11:47.919
<v Speaker 10>that I have now, it would be pretty awesome to

195
00:11:48.159 --> 00:11:51.519
<v Speaker 10>start a huge movement to help protect wildlife by just

196
00:11:51.720 --> 00:11:54.759
<v Speaker 10>educating people on how our daily actions are the things

197
00:11:54.759 --> 00:11:58.399
<v Speaker 10>that we consume, by reducing reusing those things that we

198
00:11:58.440 --> 00:12:02.240
<v Speaker 10>could really impact not a wildlife, but also other people

199
00:12:02.440 --> 00:12:05.039
<v Speaker 10>all over the world as well, so that message is

200
00:12:05.080 --> 00:12:06.799
<v Speaker 10>always there. So if I could start a maybe a

201
00:12:06.879 --> 00:12:09.879
<v Speaker 10>nonprofit organization, if a TV show is connected to that,

202
00:12:10.360 --> 00:12:12.879
<v Speaker 10>I don't know. There's so many endless possibilities now, Ken,

203
00:12:12.919 --> 00:12:15.120
<v Speaker 10>and my dreams are getting bigger.

204
00:12:15.799 --> 00:12:18.320
<v Speaker 2>I'm not surprised. You're a big dreamer to begin with.

205
00:12:18.559 --> 00:12:21.240
<v Speaker 2>What if you don't win this competition, there is three

206
00:12:21.279 --> 00:12:24.720
<v Speaker 2>of you. Somebody's not going to win this particular competition.

207
00:12:25.000 --> 00:12:27.320
<v Speaker 2>How do you expect your life would be different from

208
00:12:27.320 --> 00:12:28.919
<v Speaker 2>here on as a result?

209
00:12:29.080 --> 00:12:30.759
<v Speaker 10>You know, I can. I'm going to keep on trucking.

210
00:12:31.279 --> 00:12:33.600
<v Speaker 10>I feel as though what I do I was born

211
00:12:33.639 --> 00:12:36.120
<v Speaker 10>to do this, and I love it. I'm happy every

212
00:12:36.200 --> 00:12:37.840
<v Speaker 10>day I wake up with a smile on my face,

213
00:12:37.919 --> 00:12:39.759
<v Speaker 10>be like, oh my gosh, today I get to teach

214
00:12:39.799 --> 00:12:42.799
<v Speaker 10>people about animals and how to protect the planet. And

215
00:12:42.840 --> 00:12:45.639
<v Speaker 10>nothing's cooler than that. So I'm just going to continue

216
00:12:45.720 --> 00:12:49.200
<v Speaker 10>on doing that every single day in some capacity, whether

217
00:12:49.240 --> 00:12:51.399
<v Speaker 10>I stay at the zoo or like I said, I

218
00:12:51.399 --> 00:12:54.480
<v Speaker 10>start my own local TV show or an online TV

219
00:12:54.559 --> 00:12:57.000
<v Speaker 10>show or my own nonprofit. I don't know. I'm going

220
00:12:57.080 --> 00:13:00.320
<v Speaker 10>to continue going along Ken, pushing this message. I'll be

221
00:13:00.320 --> 00:13:03.120
<v Speaker 10>proud of whoever does win, and I'll be definitely looking

222
00:13:03.159 --> 00:13:05.320
<v Speaker 10>forward to watching walk Kingdom in the fall. But yeah,

223
00:13:05.399 --> 00:13:07.639
<v Speaker 10>I'll still keep talking along Ken. Nothing's going to stop me.

224
00:13:07.879 --> 00:13:09.240
<v Speaker 10>Passion is pretty strong.

225
00:13:09.480 --> 00:13:11.320
<v Speaker 2>Do you have a final message for our listeners.

226
00:13:11.639 --> 00:13:13.720
<v Speaker 10>Guess the biggest thing is if you want to follow

227
00:13:13.720 --> 00:13:16.320
<v Speaker 10>along with my journey, you can like my Facebook fan

<v Speaker 10>out my portfolio and learn a little bit more about me.

236
00:13:44.360 --> 00:13:46.440
<v Speaker 10>Other than that, I hope that everybody just knows that

237
00:13:46.519 --> 00:13:49.799
<v Speaker 10>my overall message is to help everybody understand that we

238
00:13:49.879 --> 00:13:53.159
<v Speaker 10>are all connected. It is incredible how connected we are

239
00:13:53.279 --> 00:13:55.440
<v Speaker 10>to the insects, to the dirt, to the ocean, to

240
00:13:55.519 --> 00:13:58.080
<v Speaker 10>the trees, to the animals, and to people all around

241
00:13:58.080 --> 00:14:00.440
<v Speaker 10>the world. And as long as you take just be

242
00:14:00.519 --> 00:14:03.039
<v Speaker 10>more aware of that, remember where things come from and

243
00:14:03.039 --> 00:14:05.600
<v Speaker 10>where they go, and that every decision you make in

244
00:14:05.639 --> 00:14:08.200
<v Speaker 10>your day can impact the planet in some way, shape

245
00:14:08.279 --> 00:14:11.519
<v Speaker 10>or form. So do everything that you can to reduce

246
00:14:11.559 --> 00:14:14.960
<v Speaker 10>the amount of plastics and papers and water that you use,

247
00:14:15.440 --> 00:14:17.120
<v Speaker 10>and know that when you go to bed at night,

248
00:14:17.159 --> 00:14:19.480
<v Speaker 10>that you're doing everything that you can to save this planet.

249
00:14:19.759 --> 00:14:22.159
<v Speaker 2>Well that's a great message and we're out of time,

250
00:14:22.200 --> 00:14:24.600
<v Speaker 2>but I want to wish for you on behalf of

302
00:18:04.799 --> 00:18:06.319
<v Speaker 9>Texas and traveling.

303
00:18:06.359 --> 00:18:10.000
<v Speaker 2>Though you've traveled a lot, your video reveals that tell

304
00:18:10.079 --> 00:18:10.720
<v Speaker 2>us a little.

305
00:18:10.480 --> 00:18:11.000
<v Speaker 8>Bit about that.

306
00:18:11.200 --> 00:18:14.640
<v Speaker 9>Yes, every chance I get, I travel, I get out there.

307
00:18:14.799 --> 00:18:17.799
<v Speaker 9>If it's not a one week or two weeks vacation,

308
00:18:18.079 --> 00:18:20.599
<v Speaker 9>I try to get out every weekend that I have

309
00:18:20.680 --> 00:18:22.839
<v Speaker 9>a chance. You know, life is short. You don't have

310
00:18:22.920 --> 00:18:25.519
<v Speaker 9>to go across the world to be with nature to

311
00:18:25.799 --> 00:18:28.079
<v Speaker 9>do these things. I have been doing the things that

312
00:18:28.119 --> 00:18:30.440
<v Speaker 9>you have been seeing in my videos. I just like

313
00:18:30.480 --> 00:18:31.160
<v Speaker 9>being out there.

314
00:18:31.240 --> 00:18:33.359
<v Speaker 2>Do you mind sharing with us some of the places you've.

315
00:18:33.160 --> 00:18:36.119
<v Speaker 9>Been Yes, hiking to the bottom of the Grand Canyon,

316
00:18:36.240 --> 00:18:39.359
<v Speaker 9>which is not so far from here. I consider a

317
00:18:39.519 --> 00:18:42.839
<v Speaker 9>ten hour or eleven hour car drive not so far.

318
00:18:43.160 --> 00:18:46.119
<v Speaker 9>So yes, that's one of the places I've been recently.

319
00:18:46.599 --> 00:18:49.839
<v Speaker 9>I've explored a lot in the New Mexico State and

320
00:18:49.960 --> 00:18:53.799
<v Speaker 9>Arigdona and a little bit of the northern part of Mexico.

321
00:18:54.240 --> 00:18:57.759
<v Speaker 9>Those are parts of the places nearby that I have

322
00:18:57.920 --> 00:19:00.799
<v Speaker 9>explored for weekends. Now when I have more time, I

323
00:19:00.920 --> 00:19:05.440
<v Speaker 9>tried to go further. Believe in Central America it's one

324
00:19:05.440 --> 00:19:09.039
<v Speaker 9>of the places. Switzerland and Europe is another one of

325
00:19:09.079 --> 00:19:12.400
<v Speaker 9>my favorites. And South Florida. I used to live in

326
00:19:12.440 --> 00:19:15.920
<v Speaker 9>Miami and all the swamps and the crystal clear blue

327
00:19:15.920 --> 00:19:19.200
<v Speaker 9>water really attracts me. So this is just some of

328
00:19:19.200 --> 00:19:19.960
<v Speaker 9>the videos right now.

329
00:19:20.640 --> 00:19:22.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I love that beautiful blue water.

330
00:19:22.559 --> 00:19:23.599
<v Speaker 8>Well, yeah, you've.

331
00:19:23.799 --> 00:19:26.519
<v Speaker 2>You've done a fair amount of traveling. And before we

332
00:19:26.559 --> 00:19:29.000
<v Speaker 2>go any further, we should explain that that beautiful accent

333
00:19:29.039 --> 00:19:31.599
<v Speaker 2>of yours is because of what where do you come from?

334
00:19:33.920 --> 00:19:36.319
<v Speaker 9>I say that, no, no, really, I was born and

335
00:19:36.400 --> 00:19:39.200
<v Speaker 9>raised in Brazil in a very unique place. The city

336
00:19:39.240 --> 00:19:41.799
<v Speaker 9>is called the Land. The land sits right in the

337
00:19:41.839 --> 00:19:44.640
<v Speaker 9>mouth of the Amazon River, and that's the place I

338
00:19:44.640 --> 00:19:47.079
<v Speaker 9>grew up two thirds of my life there, the first

339
00:19:47.079 --> 00:19:50.519
<v Speaker 9>twenty years of my life over there, and a big, bustling,

340
00:19:50.640 --> 00:19:54.200
<v Speaker 9>two million people town city. But the unique thing about

341
00:19:54.240 --> 00:19:56.440
<v Speaker 9>it is that you drive for twenty minutes or thirty

342
00:19:56.440 --> 00:19:58.319
<v Speaker 9>minutes away from the city and you are in the

343
00:19:58.359 --> 00:20:02.640
<v Speaker 9>middle of nowhere in the jungle. Very very nice place

344
00:20:02.680 --> 00:20:03.200
<v Speaker 9>to grew up.

345
00:20:04.079 --> 00:20:06.440
<v Speaker 2>Well, it sounds great, and you're currently living in Texas,

346
00:20:06.480 --> 00:20:07.119
<v Speaker 2>I believe.

347
00:20:06.920 --> 00:20:10.400
<v Speaker 9>Is that right? I am. I moved here about four

348
00:20:10.480 --> 00:20:12.680
<v Speaker 9>years ago from New York City, so I used to

349
00:20:12.759 --> 00:20:16.200
<v Speaker 9>live also in another jungle, Manhattan.

350
00:20:16.640 --> 00:20:19.599
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well you have you got it covered. People listening

351
00:20:19.599 --> 00:20:21.079
<v Speaker 2>to this podcast, might I think we're sitting in the

352
00:20:21.160 --> 00:20:23.359
<v Speaker 2>jungle right now. I have to apologize, but my recause

353
00:20:23.400 --> 00:20:27.279
<v Speaker 2>have decided to get really vocal this this afternoon, So

354
00:20:27.720 --> 00:20:29.799
<v Speaker 2>that's what's going on in the background. Or you can

355
00:20:29.839 --> 00:20:32.000
<v Speaker 2>pretend we're you know, in the Amazon. Either way, that's

356
00:20:32.079 --> 00:20:35.039
<v Speaker 2>that's okay. Well tell us what were your goals back

357
00:20:35.079 --> 00:20:37.519
<v Speaker 2>then before you entered the competition. Do you did you

358
00:20:37.559 --> 00:20:40.200
<v Speaker 2>have any goals about, you know, doing things with this

359
00:20:40.359 --> 00:20:42.880
<v Speaker 2>travel thing and the video because you'd shoot your own

360
00:20:42.920 --> 00:20:44.880
<v Speaker 2>videos too, And that's we're going to talk about that

361
00:20:44.880 --> 00:20:47.440
<v Speaker 2>in a minute. But what were your goals before the competition?

362
00:20:47.880 --> 00:20:51.799
<v Speaker 9>I didn't have actually no big goals. I'm just a

363
00:20:51.799 --> 00:20:54.359
<v Speaker 9>guy with a camera that likes to travel and film.

364
00:20:54.480 --> 00:20:57.400
<v Speaker 9>I like to feel my adventures and I added them

365
00:20:57.440 --> 00:21:01.000
<v Speaker 9>into short clips maybe three four minutes long, and I

366
00:21:01.039 --> 00:21:03.880
<v Speaker 9>share it with family and friends and with people that

367
00:21:04.039 --> 00:21:07.039
<v Speaker 9>maybe don't have the chance to go to this unique

368
00:21:07.079 --> 00:21:10.799
<v Speaker 9>places that I visit. And that was that was my hobby.

369
00:21:11.039 --> 00:21:13.240
<v Speaker 9>I never really thought about it as a way to

370
00:21:13.440 --> 00:21:16.119
<v Speaker 9>make money, but now now I haven't shot at it.

371
00:21:16.680 --> 00:21:19.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well, how did you hear about the contest?

372
00:21:19.359 --> 00:21:22.839
<v Speaker 9>I somebody told me to go on line and look

373
00:21:22.920 --> 00:21:26.640
<v Speaker 9>for this for this contest because a friend of mine

374
00:21:26.960 --> 00:21:30.720
<v Speaker 9>this he's one of my friends. He likes my video,

375
00:21:30.799 --> 00:21:32.920
<v Speaker 9>so you know that I have an ex for this

376
00:21:33.079 --> 00:21:34.799
<v Speaker 9>kind of stuff. So he told me, hey, child, he

377
00:21:34.799 --> 00:21:36.799
<v Speaker 9>should be in this competition. This this for you. So

378
00:21:36.880 --> 00:21:38.559
<v Speaker 9>he gave me the link. I looked it up and

379
00:21:38.599 --> 00:21:40.839
<v Speaker 9>I said, yes, definitely, I will send my video.

380
00:21:41.119 --> 00:21:43.640
<v Speaker 2>And why why did you want to enter this competition?

381
00:21:44.039 --> 00:21:44.240
<v Speaker 14>Well?

382
00:21:44.240 --> 00:21:47.079
<v Speaker 9>Why not? I mean I grew up watching all this

383
00:21:47.440 --> 00:21:51.119
<v Speaker 9>Animal Planets and Discovery Channel shows and why not? Why

384
00:21:51.160 --> 00:21:53.160
<v Speaker 9>not be the guy there in front of a camera,

385
00:21:53.359 --> 00:21:57.319
<v Speaker 9>bringing all these adventures and this animal stories and nature

386
00:21:57.440 --> 00:22:00.480
<v Speaker 9>to the viewers. Why not me? Everybody saying that I

387
00:22:00.519 --> 00:22:03.480
<v Speaker 9>have the petition, so let me have my shot at it.

388
00:22:03.599 --> 00:22:05.440
<v Speaker 9>Maybe maybe I'm their next guide.

389
00:22:05.680 --> 00:22:08.519
<v Speaker 2>Well, did you have any concerns? As I'm sure most people,

390
00:22:08.599 --> 00:22:12.480
<v Speaker 2>most contestants considering applying or entering this thing, they had

391
00:22:12.519 --> 00:22:15.160
<v Speaker 2>to submit a video, So did you have any concerns

392
00:22:15.160 --> 00:22:17.519
<v Speaker 2>about the process of creating your video?

393
00:22:18.319 --> 00:22:20.839
<v Speaker 9>No, as soon as I read the rules, I had

394
00:22:20.880 --> 00:22:24.000
<v Speaker 9>my video made, how edited? In my mind, all I

395
00:22:24.079 --> 00:22:27.599
<v Speaker 9>needed was the opening shots as that you've seen it.

396
00:22:27.599 --> 00:22:29.799
<v Speaker 9>It was in a place called White Sense, Heating, New

397
00:22:29.839 --> 00:22:32.319
<v Speaker 9>Mexico area. It's me and the sand dunes with scuba

398
00:22:32.359 --> 00:22:35.680
<v Speaker 9>gear diving into blue water. So there's no blue water

399
00:22:35.720 --> 00:22:38.359
<v Speaker 9>in the desert, but I already had that shot from

400
00:22:38.400 --> 00:22:41.240
<v Speaker 9>a diving trip in believe, so I thought my opening

401
00:22:41.240 --> 00:22:43.359
<v Speaker 9>shot will be me sitting on the sand dune in

402
00:22:43.400 --> 00:22:46.599
<v Speaker 9>the desert with fu on scuba gear, you know, diving

403
00:22:46.640 --> 00:22:49.240
<v Speaker 9>into blue water, so people are not expecting blue water

404
00:22:49.279 --> 00:22:52.440
<v Speaker 9>in the desert. So well, yeah, all shots that I

405
00:22:52.440 --> 00:22:55.400
<v Speaker 9>had to do for this video, the video submission, I.

406
00:22:55.319 --> 00:22:58.799
<v Speaker 8>Think, really really well that was very effective. Yes, it did.

407
00:22:58.960 --> 00:23:00.839
<v Speaker 2>When I first saw it, I thought, Oh, he's in

408
00:23:00.839 --> 00:23:05.640
<v Speaker 2>some exotic coastal sand dunes in South America somewhere, you know,

409
00:23:06.680 --> 00:23:08.480
<v Speaker 2>and the ocean's just on the other side of that

410
00:23:08.559 --> 00:23:10.319
<v Speaker 2>do And I just knew it, you know. And when

411
00:23:10.319 --> 00:23:12.200
<v Speaker 2>I saw the diving gear there, I go. The ocean's

412
00:23:12.279 --> 00:23:14.119
<v Speaker 2>right on the other side. He's on the coast somewhere

413
00:23:14.119 --> 00:23:17.119
<v Speaker 2>in some exotic land, and sure enough, you dive into

414
00:23:17.119 --> 00:23:19.559
<v Speaker 2>the ocean. I thought it was great fun. But you know,

415
00:23:19.720 --> 00:23:21.920
<v Speaker 2>we're talking to me before you I think you have

416
00:23:21.960 --> 00:23:24.519
<v Speaker 2>a great In fact, that's what filmmakers do. They picture

417
00:23:24.559 --> 00:23:26.480
<v Speaker 2>these things in their minds before they even get into

418
00:23:26.480 --> 00:23:29.279
<v Speaker 2>the editing suite, you know. And that's why you know,

419
00:23:29.400 --> 00:23:31.640
<v Speaker 2>I say, you have a real knack for this video stuff,

420
00:23:31.680 --> 00:23:34.480
<v Speaker 2>because it's not that simple. That's not that simple. I mean,

421
00:23:34.680 --> 00:23:36.519
<v Speaker 2>there's a message you want to get across. You have

422
00:23:36.640 --> 00:23:38.599
<v Speaker 2>visuals you have to be concerned about. You gotta have

423
00:23:38.680 --> 00:23:40.680
<v Speaker 2>video segments or stills that you use. You got to

424
00:23:40.680 --> 00:23:43.759
<v Speaker 2>decide on a style and a story and pick the music.

425
00:23:43.480 --> 00:23:44.519
<v Speaker 8>And then do the editing.

426
00:23:45.079 --> 00:23:47.759
<v Speaker 2>And that's right, You've been doing all this stuff already,

427
00:23:47.799 --> 00:23:49.359
<v Speaker 2>so you just you knew how to do it.

428
00:23:49.640 --> 00:23:52.599
<v Speaker 9>Yes, and it was a quick and simple timera trick

429
00:23:52.680 --> 00:23:55.079
<v Speaker 9>to do. You should have seen the phase of the

430
00:23:55.160 --> 00:23:58.160
<v Speaker 9>park ranger when you saw me lugging the scoopy gear

431
00:23:58.200 --> 00:24:00.839
<v Speaker 9>to the top of the sand dune. Place is in

432
00:24:00.880 --> 00:24:04.039
<v Speaker 9>the middle of New Mexico Land in the desert.

433
00:24:04.160 --> 00:24:07.200
<v Speaker 2>Yes, what are you doing with that scuba gear?

434
00:24:10.480 --> 00:24:13.640
<v Speaker 8>You're lucky to didn't lock you up. This guy's lost.

435
00:24:14.160 --> 00:24:16.079
<v Speaker 2>He's been out there too long in that sun.

436
00:24:17.960 --> 00:24:19.480
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, that's great, that's great.

437
00:24:19.519 --> 00:24:22.880
<v Speaker 2>Well I'm moving along here. How has the competition changed

438
00:24:22.880 --> 00:24:25.079
<v Speaker 2>your goals? Now that you find you're a finalist, you

439
00:24:25.119 --> 00:24:27.119
<v Speaker 2>may even be you end up being the wild guide.

440
00:24:27.400 --> 00:24:30.440
<v Speaker 2>Has this changed your goals in relation to this kind

441
00:24:30.480 --> 00:24:31.559
<v Speaker 2>of material, this kind.

442
00:24:31.480 --> 00:24:34.039
<v Speaker 9>Of work, Yes, definitely. Was there slack in the face,

443
00:24:34.160 --> 00:24:36.559
<v Speaker 9>say maybe you should be doing this for a living.

444
00:24:36.720 --> 00:24:39.799
<v Speaker 9>You know, I submitted my video and you got, you know,

445
00:24:40.119 --> 00:24:42.880
<v Speaker 9>a very good viewership. I'm sure he got a very

446
00:24:42.920 --> 00:24:44.880
<v Speaker 9>good amount of boats for them to have me as

447
00:24:44.920 --> 00:24:49.519
<v Speaker 9>a finalist. And yeah, Chigo, maybe maybe you should quit

448
00:24:49.640 --> 00:24:52.920
<v Speaker 9>your day job and just go for it with all

449
00:24:53.000 --> 00:24:56.839
<v Speaker 9>your guts. You clearly have what it takes. So that

450
00:24:57.119 --> 00:25:00.680
<v Speaker 9>is what this whole competition things and still in.

451
00:25:00.519 --> 00:25:03.200
<v Speaker 2>Me, well, what effects what are you expecting if you

452
00:25:03.279 --> 00:25:06.400
<v Speaker 2>become the mutual Omaha wil Guide. What kind of effect

453
00:25:06.440 --> 00:25:07.960
<v Speaker 2>will that have on your daily life?

454
00:25:08.160 --> 00:25:11.759
<v Speaker 9>I see myself as going on more trips, traveling to

455
00:25:11.960 --> 00:25:15.200
<v Speaker 9>different places, not only in this country but abroad, and

456
00:25:16.240 --> 00:25:18.839
<v Speaker 9>doing more and more of this videos, more in a

457
00:25:19.039 --> 00:25:22.799
<v Speaker 9>professional setting of course, and you know, hopefully being then

458
00:25:22.799 --> 00:25:23.880
<v Speaker 9>expertans out there.

459
00:25:24.240 --> 00:25:27.400
<v Speaker 2>Well, what if you do not win? You know, somebody's

460
00:25:27.440 --> 00:25:31.319
<v Speaker 2>going to not win this competition. If that happens, how

461
00:25:31.319 --> 00:25:33.519
<v Speaker 2>do you expect your life to be different from here

462
00:25:33.599 --> 00:25:34.359
<v Speaker 2>on in some way?

463
00:25:34.920 --> 00:25:38.039
<v Speaker 9>No, I never give given so much thought about not winning.

464
00:25:38.079 --> 00:25:40.319
<v Speaker 9>That's how much confidence are you having this thing? But

465
00:25:40.440 --> 00:25:42.640
<v Speaker 9>if that is the case, it's like, do not win,

466
00:25:42.759 --> 00:25:45.559
<v Speaker 9>of course, I will pursue all the ways to be

467
00:25:45.680 --> 00:25:48.319
<v Speaker 9>out there, to be out there in front of the camera,

468
00:25:48.519 --> 00:25:52.599
<v Speaker 9>bringing nature, bringing animals to viewers around the world. This

469
00:25:52.799 --> 00:25:56.160
<v Speaker 9>this show will be on a YouTube channel, YouTube TV,

470
00:25:56.519 --> 00:26:00.240
<v Speaker 9>so you will be broadcasted throughout the world. I will

471
00:26:00.279 --> 00:26:04.160
<v Speaker 9>definitely pursue other ways, if not mutual format, other ways.

472
00:26:03.960 --> 00:26:06.720
<v Speaker 2>To be able to just keep doing it. Then yes, definitely,

473
00:26:06.720 --> 00:26:08.400
<v Speaker 2>that's great. Well, I think you have a real knack

474
00:26:08.480 --> 00:26:11.720
<v Speaker 2>for it. So that's good news. Well, how about a

475
00:26:11.759 --> 00:26:14.000
<v Speaker 2>final message for our listeners. Is there anything you'd like

476
00:26:14.039 --> 00:26:17.559
<v Speaker 2>to tell them? How can they stay informed about you

477
00:26:17.599 --> 00:26:18.279
<v Speaker 2>and what you're up to?

478
00:26:19.000 --> 00:26:22.119
<v Speaker 9>And the people can blog in and see what's going

479
00:26:22.160 --> 00:26:24.759
<v Speaker 9>on with the competition. Who is going to be their

480
00:26:24.799 --> 00:26:28.480
<v Speaker 9>next guide? They can follow that on their website right now.

481
00:26:28.480 --> 00:26:30.319
<v Speaker 9>I don't have a blog or anything. I do have

482
00:26:30.319 --> 00:26:33.559
<v Speaker 9>a YouTube channel where most of my videos are posted

483
00:26:33.559 --> 00:26:36.160
<v Speaker 9>there for everyone to see, and you can find that

484
00:26:36.400 --> 00:26:39.960

<v Speaker 14>here on Thursdays.

552
00:30:34.200 --> 00:30:37.519
<v Speaker 2>A word about tropical rainforest destruction and it's roll in

553
00:30:37.559 --> 00:30:41.279
<v Speaker 2>climate change. I often say the tropical rainforest destruction is

554
00:30:41.319 --> 00:30:44.920
<v Speaker 2>our number one environmental problem. That surprises many people because

555
00:30:44.920 --> 00:30:49.240
<v Speaker 2>tropical rainforest destruction is invisible to most and rarely discussed. Well,

556
00:30:49.279 --> 00:30:52.720
<v Speaker 2>climate change seems more threatening, is more visible, and is

557
00:30:52.759 --> 00:30:55.559
<v Speaker 2>beginning to be mentioned by our nation's leaders. So why

558
00:30:55.599 --> 00:30:57.519
<v Speaker 2>do I put such an emphasis on the need for

559
00:30:57.559 --> 00:31:03.160
<v Speaker 2>tropical rainforest conservation? Climate change is quickly becoming mankind's most

560
00:31:03.200 --> 00:31:07.359
<v Speaker 2>pressing environmental problem. The most profitable and powerful corporate interests

561
00:31:07.400 --> 00:31:10.440
<v Speaker 2>in history, the oil companies have led efforts to create

562
00:31:10.519 --> 00:31:14.400
<v Speaker 2>legions of skeptics and deniers. However, most people are now

563
00:31:14.440 --> 00:31:17.240
<v Speaker 2>convinced that our scientists are correct. After all, we have

564
00:31:17.359 --> 00:31:20.640
<v Speaker 2>all experienced extreme weather events for ourselves in recent years.

565
00:31:20.839 --> 00:31:23.519
<v Speaker 2>Climate change is finally getting some mentioned by our nation's

566
00:31:23.599 --> 00:31:27.440
<v Speaker 2>leaders and increasing discussion on alternative media. However, it is

567
00:31:27.440 --> 00:31:30.400
<v Speaker 2>not currently being discussed in some ninety plus percent of

568
00:31:30.440 --> 00:31:34.319
<v Speaker 2>commercial media stories about weather. Our nation's media outlets are

569
00:31:34.440 --> 00:31:38.119
<v Speaker 2>adding to the lethargy and responding to this crisis. There

570
00:31:38.160 --> 00:31:41.160
<v Speaker 2>is another facet to this problem that is too rarely discussed.

571
00:31:41.640 --> 00:31:44.039
<v Speaker 2>On top of the problem of climate change not being

572
00:31:44.079 --> 00:31:46.960
<v Speaker 2>mentioned in most media stories about severe weather events is

573
00:31:47.000 --> 00:31:49.440
<v Speaker 2>the fact that a major contributor to climate change is

574
00:31:49.480 --> 00:31:52.920
<v Speaker 2>getting no mention at all. Most people are aware that

575
00:31:53.000 --> 00:31:55.799
<v Speaker 2>CO two emissions for burning fossil fuels are creating a

576
00:31:55.839 --> 00:31:59.119
<v Speaker 2>greenhouse effect in the atmosphere, warming the planet, but are

577
00:31:59.200 --> 00:32:03.319
<v Speaker 2>most people aware the tropical rainforest destruction contributes twenty to

578
00:32:03.440 --> 00:32:07.200
<v Speaker 2>twenty five percent to global warming, that its contribution to

579
00:32:07.240 --> 00:32:10.319
<v Speaker 2>the greenhouse effect is roughly equal to the contribution made

580
00:32:10.359 --> 00:32:15.400
<v Speaker 2>by the world's transportation sector. Surprising, yes, and seldom mentioned.

581
00:32:15.640 --> 00:32:19.000
<v Speaker 2>With rainforest destruction playing such a major role as much

582
00:32:19.039 --> 00:32:22.319
<v Speaker 2>as one quarter of the problem in resulting climate change,

583
00:32:22.480 --> 00:32:25.200
<v Speaker 2>there is an opportunity to make great progress in ways

584
00:32:25.200 --> 00:32:27.519
<v Speaker 2>that are In addition to the challenge of getting away

585
00:32:27.519 --> 00:32:32.839
<v Speaker 2>from carbon based fuels, tropical rainforests sequester huge amounts of

586
00:32:32.880 --> 00:32:36.759
<v Speaker 2>carbon in their foliage. As these forests are cut and burned,

587
00:32:36.799 --> 00:32:40.480
<v Speaker 2>that carbon is released into the atmosphere. In addition, the

588
00:32:40.519 --> 00:32:44.440
<v Speaker 2>ongoing absorption of CO two that dense forests provide is

589
00:32:44.519 --> 00:32:48.480
<v Speaker 2>reduced or ceases to exist. Further, large areas of forest

590
00:32:48.519 --> 00:32:52.240
<v Speaker 2>destruction disrupt natural water and energy cycles, causing abnormal weather

591
00:32:52.319 --> 00:32:58.039
<v Speaker 2>deviations that aggravate climate change. In addition, albedo, the reflectivity

592
00:32:58.039 --> 00:33:02.000
<v Speaker 2>of sunlight from the region's surface is changed, affecting weather.

593
00:33:02.440 --> 00:33:05.880
<v Speaker 2>Half of the world's tropical rainforests have been destroyed. Despite

594
00:33:05.920 --> 00:33:09.240
<v Speaker 2>forty years of environmental activism, the destruction of the tropical

595
00:33:09.359 --> 00:33:11.559
<v Speaker 2>rainforce is continuing and has.

596
00:33:11.480 --> 00:33:12.359
<v Speaker 8>Not yet slow.

597
00:33:13.039 --> 00:33:15.960
<v Speaker 2>Considering all of this, it is easy to understand how

598
00:33:16.079 --> 00:33:20.440
<v Speaker 2>rainforest destruction contributes to climate change world wide. I am

599
00:33:20.440 --> 00:33:24.519
<v Speaker 2>sorry to say that tropical rainforest destruction creates another horrible

600
00:33:24.559 --> 00:33:27.319
<v Speaker 2>problem that affects the entire planet and will have profound

601
00:33:27.400 --> 00:33:32.359
<v Speaker 2>effects upon civilization going forward. That is Biodiversity depletion or

602
00:33:32.440 --> 00:33:35.680
<v Speaker 2>species extinction, medicines, and food are just some of the

603
00:33:35.720 --> 00:33:39.279
<v Speaker 2>benefits the biodiversity provides, not just to indigenous people, but

604
00:33:39.319 --> 00:33:43.559
<v Speaker 2>to all of civilization. Biodiversity is the reservoir of life

605
00:33:43.680 --> 00:33:46.039
<v Speaker 2>from which we draw upon and will continue to need

606
00:33:46.079 --> 00:33:49.680
<v Speaker 2>to advance our way of life. All living things, including humans,

607
00:33:49.720 --> 00:33:53.720
<v Speaker 2>are interdependent. We absolutely need each other. This web of

608
00:33:53.759 --> 00:33:57.640
<v Speaker 2>life is our foundation, our support. Most living things live

609
00:33:57.640 --> 00:34:01.480
<v Speaker 2>in the rainforest. Species diversity is extreme and concentrated in

610
00:34:01.519 --> 00:34:04.559
<v Speaker 2>these forests. As we destroy the forests, we are destroying

611
00:34:04.640 --> 00:34:07.680
<v Speaker 2>species of life at a rate of one thousand to

612
00:34:07.799 --> 00:34:11.519
<v Speaker 2>ten thousand times greater than the natural background rate. We

613
00:34:11.559 --> 00:34:13.679
<v Speaker 2>are punching a big hole in the web of life

614
00:34:13.719 --> 00:34:16.920
<v Speaker 2>on our planet. While the causes of climate change are

615
00:34:17.119 --> 00:34:21.519
<v Speaker 2>to a great degree reversible destruction of our planets, biodiversity

616
00:34:21.800 --> 00:34:27.760
<v Speaker 2>is not extinction is forever. Tackling tropical rainforest destruction can

617
00:34:27.800 --> 00:34:31.760
<v Speaker 2>help to curtail both biodiversity depletion and climate change, a

618
00:34:31.840 --> 00:34:35.400
<v Speaker 2>topic certainly worthy of far more public attention. It must

619
00:34:35.480 --> 00:34:38.639
<v Speaker 2>be a part of climate change discussions. We must swiftly

620
00:34:38.719 --> 00:34:42.880
<v Speaker 2>and abundantly create a broad public demand for tropical rainforest conservation.

621
00:34:46.079 --> 00:34:52.519
<v Speaker 2>Let's talk fast, Let's conte Radio, Headline Radio, Hetlinradio dot.

622
00:34:52.320 --> 00:34:59.079
<v Speaker 8>Com, Now, War of Jungle, Deep Deep.

623
00:35:03.159 --> 00:35:06.519
<v Speaker 2>Our third guest is Reggie Bussy. Reggie is a professional

624
00:35:06.559 --> 00:35:09.960
<v Speaker 2>traveler and adventure She produces her own website to encourage

625
00:35:09.960 --> 00:35:14.639
<v Speaker 2>inform others to seek adventure, called Backpackers Wanted dot com.

626
00:35:15.000 --> 00:35:20.280
<v Speaker 2>The opening music is called Bussy's Bounce by Henry Bussy.

627
00:35:39.840 --> 00:35:43.000
<v Speaker 2>Reggie Bussy is an avid backpacker, traveler, and adventure and

628
00:35:43.000 --> 00:35:47.559
<v Speaker 2>one of her outstanding characteristics is her outgoing personality and competence.

629
00:35:48.119 --> 00:35:50.239
<v Speaker 2>Reggie is one of the three finalists of the Wild

630
00:35:50.239 --> 00:35:54.079
<v Speaker 2>Eye competition. Welcome Reggie to Jungle d Thank you very much, Ken,

631
00:35:54.159 --> 00:35:57.159
<v Speaker 2>glad to be here now. I know this must must

632
00:35:57.159 --> 00:35:59.679
<v Speaker 2>be a very exciting time for you. Would you tell

633
00:35:59.719 --> 00:36:02.320
<v Speaker 2>us a little bit about what is a wild guide?

634
00:36:02.400 --> 00:36:05.119
<v Speaker 11>Well, I suppose in a nutshell, a wild guide is

635
00:36:05.159 --> 00:36:08.480
<v Speaker 11>somebody who has a passion for wildlife and nature, but

636
00:36:08.559 --> 00:36:11.320
<v Speaker 11>more so lives it out. You know, they're involved in

637
00:36:11.360 --> 00:36:15.000
<v Speaker 11>their local communities, or they're involved overseas wherever. It is,

638
00:36:15.079 --> 00:36:17.239
<v Speaker 11>just to make a difference in the world and make

639
00:36:17.280 --> 00:36:20.000
<v Speaker 11>a difference in environments, habitats, and I guess communities.

640
00:36:20.280 --> 00:36:20.920
<v Speaker 8>Well, very good.

641
00:36:21.119 --> 00:36:23.599
<v Speaker 2>In context of this competition, what do you think it

642
00:36:23.639 --> 00:36:26.360
<v Speaker 2>is that they're looking for as a wild guide?

643
00:36:26.679 --> 00:36:28.639
<v Speaker 11>You know, I think they're looking for somebody who is

644
00:36:28.880 --> 00:36:33.039
<v Speaker 11>engaging and relatable. They want somebody who's knowledgeable, but they

645
00:36:33.079 --> 00:36:36.039
<v Speaker 11>also want somebody who can learn alongside the viewers, so

646
00:36:36.079 --> 00:36:38.280
<v Speaker 11>you kind of feel like you're going on in adventure together.

647
00:36:38.719 --> 00:36:42.000
<v Speaker 2>What were you doing before this competition came about?

648
00:36:42.559 --> 00:36:44.800
<v Speaker 11>What I've been doing for the past ten years? I've

649
00:36:44.840 --> 00:36:45.639
<v Speaker 11>been traveling.

650
00:36:46.000 --> 00:36:47.719
<v Speaker 2>Tell us some of the places. Where have you been?

651
00:36:48.159 --> 00:36:50.599
<v Speaker 11>Well? I just kept us what is it? Fifty different

652
00:36:50.599 --> 00:36:54.039
<v Speaker 11>countries and most recently I was in Africa. I was

653
00:36:54.079 --> 00:36:56.559
<v Speaker 11>there for about four months and I went through nine

654
00:36:56.559 --> 00:37:00.400
<v Speaker 11>different countries and went on every single safari I could

655
00:37:00.760 --> 00:37:04.280
<v Speaker 11>possibly afford, and just got involved in a few projects

656
00:37:04.280 --> 00:37:04.760
<v Speaker 11>down there.

657
00:37:05.239 --> 00:37:08.000
<v Speaker 2>Well, from what I've seen so far, you're not a

658
00:37:08.079 --> 00:37:11.320
<v Speaker 2>typical tourist. You're more of a, like I said, an adventurer.

659
00:37:11.360 --> 00:37:14.599
<v Speaker 2>You get out there in the dirt and you hoof

660
00:37:14.639 --> 00:37:18.239
<v Speaker 2>it and you have close encounters with interesting creatures.

661
00:37:18.280 --> 00:37:18.639
<v Speaker 8>Am I right?

662
00:37:18.760 --> 00:37:19.800
<v Speaker 11>There's no other way to do it.

663
00:37:21.480 --> 00:37:26.239
<v Speaker 2>So you've been traveling and backpacking and hiking around the

664
00:37:26.280 --> 00:37:29.360
<v Speaker 2>world for ten years, I have How do you do that?

665
00:37:29.480 --> 00:37:31.400
<v Speaker 2>I mean most people here clear hear that will go

666
00:37:31.679 --> 00:37:33.400
<v Speaker 2>How in the world can you do that? I mean,

667
00:37:33.559 --> 00:37:35.440
<v Speaker 2>how come I'm stuck in a job and you're out there?

668
00:37:35.480 --> 00:37:36.440
<v Speaker 2>Have all the fun.

669
00:37:36.559 --> 00:37:37.440
<v Speaker 8>How do you do that?

670
00:37:37.559 --> 00:37:39.480
<v Speaker 11>Well, you know, I've taken a passion and made it

671
00:37:39.599 --> 00:37:43.639
<v Speaker 11>my reality. I work very hard and I budget. I

672
00:37:43.639 --> 00:37:46.480
<v Speaker 11>saved my money for my trips. So I've worked all

673
00:37:46.480 --> 00:37:50.440
<v Speaker 11>over the world, you know, pouring pintset probably dozens of bars.

674
00:37:50.679 --> 00:37:54.159
<v Speaker 11>I've also worked in the adventure industry in Interlock in Switzerland,

675
00:37:54.639 --> 00:37:57.400
<v Speaker 11>and I'm also a freelance travel rid So you know,

676
00:37:57.480 --> 00:37:59.679
<v Speaker 11>I kind of just I guess, take the risk. I

677
00:37:59.760 --> 00:38:01.800
<v Speaker 11>just go for as long as I can on my money,

678
00:38:01.840 --> 00:38:04.119
<v Speaker 11>and when it's time to find a job, find a job.

679
00:38:05.079 --> 00:38:07.960
<v Speaker 2>Well. Now, so what were your goals before this competition

680
00:38:08.039 --> 00:38:08.559
<v Speaker 2>came about?

681
00:38:09.199 --> 00:38:09.320
<v Speaker 9>You?

682
00:38:09.360 --> 00:38:12.079
<v Speaker 2>Probably I assume you didn't grow up thinking you were

683
00:38:12.119 --> 00:38:15.480
<v Speaker 2>gonna be a television star doing wildlife show someday or

684
00:38:15.519 --> 00:38:17.519
<v Speaker 2>did you were you did you have thoughts something like

685
00:38:17.559 --> 00:38:18.840
<v Speaker 2>this might happen, or what were.

686
00:38:18.639 --> 00:38:19.159
<v Speaker 8>Your goal now?

687
00:38:19.239 --> 00:38:21.320
<v Speaker 11>I mean, my goal has always been to spread the

688
00:38:21.400 --> 00:38:24.519
<v Speaker 11>joy of travel, wildlife and culture. But it wasn't until

689
00:38:24.840 --> 00:38:28.000
<v Speaker 11>what was it seven six years ago? I was working

690
00:38:28.000 --> 00:38:30.880
<v Speaker 11>for a company, a commercial production company, and I got

691
00:38:30.880 --> 00:38:32.880
<v Speaker 11>a bit of the background in the industry and kind

692
00:38:32.880 --> 00:38:35.000
<v Speaker 11>of learned the ropes and thought, hey, if I could

693
00:38:35.119 --> 00:38:39.320
<v Speaker 11>marry my love of travel with a profession, then you

694
00:38:39.360 --> 00:38:42.079
<v Speaker 11>know i'd be pretty pretty good. So I guess that's

695
00:38:42.119 --> 00:38:45.079
<v Speaker 11>where the TV side of it came into play. And

696
00:38:45.400 --> 00:38:47.840
<v Speaker 11>since then I just I take stupid videos all over

697
00:38:47.840 --> 00:38:51.559
<v Speaker 11>the world. As you'll see in my video, it's nothing professional.

698
00:38:51.639 --> 00:38:54.199
<v Speaker 11>It's me with a point and shoot camera and just

699
00:38:54.239 --> 00:38:58.119
<v Speaker 11>trying to capture those moments of excitement and the nuances

700
00:38:58.119 --> 00:38:59.800
<v Speaker 11>that come with traveling and wildlife.

701
00:39:00.079 --> 00:39:01.599
<v Speaker 2>So how do you hear about the contest?

702
00:39:01.719 --> 00:39:05.079
<v Speaker 11>My good friend Tiago, who is also in the top three. Yeah,

703
00:39:05.199 --> 00:39:08.239
<v Speaker 11>Thiago and I met in Switzerland. I was working at

704
00:39:08.239 --> 00:39:09.039
<v Speaker 11>my adventure job.

705
00:39:09.239 --> 00:39:11.239
<v Speaker 2>I had the impression you two knew each other, but

706
00:39:11.360 --> 00:39:13.280
<v Speaker 2>I don't know how well.

707
00:39:13.320 --> 00:39:13.519
<v Speaker 1>You know.

708
00:39:14.079 --> 00:39:15.119
<v Speaker 8>You say you met and.

709
00:39:15.119 --> 00:39:17.239
<v Speaker 11>Wear and switched and fate brought us together in that

710
00:39:17.280 --> 00:39:19.960
<v Speaker 11>way I was. I came to my desk and he

711
00:39:20.039 --> 00:39:22.840
<v Speaker 11>was wanting to do some hang gliding or bungee jumping,

712
00:39:22.960 --> 00:39:25.599
<v Speaker 11>and so we got chatting and ever since then we've

713
00:39:25.639 --> 00:39:28.039
<v Speaker 11>just been in contact via email. And you know, he

714
00:39:28.360 --> 00:39:30.639
<v Speaker 11>loves to travel too, so it's kind of those emails like,

715
00:39:30.639 --> 00:39:32.400
<v Speaker 11>hey man, where are you at? You know, house live?

716
00:39:32.840 --> 00:39:35.039
<v Speaker 11>And I had just got back from my last trip

717
00:39:35.159 --> 00:39:38.119
<v Speaker 11>and had an email from him saying, you know, Rech, Hey,

718
00:39:38.119 --> 00:39:41.079
<v Speaker 11>I think you're from Omaha. Look into this. And I

719
00:39:41.119 --> 00:39:43.880
<v Speaker 11>looked into it and thought, gosh, this is this is

720
00:39:43.880 --> 00:39:46.679
<v Speaker 11>a dream. You know, this is my lifestyle already, and

721
00:39:46.760 --> 00:39:49.199
<v Speaker 11>if I can share that with other people, then again,

722
00:39:49.199 --> 00:39:50.280
<v Speaker 11>that would be a dream come true.

723
00:39:50.559 --> 00:39:51.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

724
00:39:51.079 --> 00:39:52.840
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, so you heard about the contest from.

725
00:39:52.599 --> 00:39:54.679
<v Speaker 11>Me and did, but you know it's Thiago and I

726
00:39:54.760 --> 00:39:57.079
<v Speaker 11>joke around, you know, he introduced me to it, and

727
00:39:57.119 --> 00:40:00.239
<v Speaker 11>I am forever, forever thankful. But I think the other

728
00:40:00.239 --> 00:40:02.800
<v Speaker 11>contestants would agree. From that point on, we really had

729
00:40:02.840 --> 00:40:06.239
<v Speaker 11>to promote ourselves, promote our videos, and promote mutual of Omaha.

730
00:40:06.639 --> 00:40:08.360
<v Speaker 11>So I don't feel like I was handed this by

731
00:40:08.400 --> 00:40:10.440
<v Speaker 11>any means. I feel like it's been out of the process.

732
00:40:10.440 --> 00:40:12.199
<v Speaker 11>Oh sure, and one that I'm very thankful for him,

733
00:40:12.280 --> 00:40:13.719
<v Speaker 11>you know, to introducing me too.

734
00:40:14.159 --> 00:40:17.159
<v Speaker 2>Well. Sure, and it's how about that it's a great

735
00:40:17.159 --> 00:40:19.559
<v Speaker 2>coincidence that you two just happen to be good and

736
00:40:19.639 --> 00:40:22.840
<v Speaker 2>happen to have the winning videos for this competition and

737
00:40:23.280 --> 00:40:24.440
<v Speaker 2>now you're racing neck to next.

738
00:40:24.480 --> 00:40:26.400
<v Speaker 11>Well and Stephie, I haven't had a chance to chat

739
00:40:26.400 --> 00:40:28.679
<v Speaker 11>with her yet. We exchanged phone numbers, but I really

740
00:40:28.719 --> 00:40:31.119
<v Speaker 11>look forward to talking with her also, you know, because

741
00:40:31.119 --> 00:40:33.679
<v Speaker 11>this whole process, you know, you don't want to necessarily

742
00:40:33.679 --> 00:40:36.000
<v Speaker 11>consider it a competition, because at the end of the day,

743
00:40:36.039 --> 00:40:39.199
<v Speaker 11>we're trying to promote a bigger cause, and so long

744
00:40:39.239 --> 00:40:40.880
<v Speaker 11>as one of us is the wild guide and is

745
00:40:40.920 --> 00:40:44.239
<v Speaker 11>able to transfer that knowledge, then you know we've already won.

746
00:40:44.639 --> 00:40:47.559
<v Speaker 2>I think you all three already have one indeed, because

747
00:40:47.559 --> 00:40:49.840
<v Speaker 2>you've certainly gotten a lot of exposure and you'll continue

748
00:40:49.840 --> 00:40:51.800
<v Speaker 2>to get exposure as a result of being, you know,

749
00:40:51.840 --> 00:40:54.159
<v Speaker 2>being a part of this. So I'm sure it's going

750
00:40:54.239 --> 00:40:56.280
<v Speaker 2>to help all three of you in your careers. However

751
00:40:56.360 --> 00:40:57.480
<v Speaker 2>that path goes.

752
00:40:57.440 --> 00:40:59.239
<v Speaker 8>Well, I'm curious about something else. Now.

753
00:40:59.280 --> 00:41:01.840
<v Speaker 2>It's one thing to be explorer and traveler and so forth,

754
00:41:01.920 --> 00:41:04.960
<v Speaker 2>but to put together a good video requires having a

755
00:41:04.960 --> 00:41:09.559
<v Speaker 2>good message and visuals like video segments or stills, and

756
00:41:09.599 --> 00:41:12.800
<v Speaker 2>knowing what style you want to communicate and what story

757
00:41:12.840 --> 00:41:14.440
<v Speaker 2>you want to tell in the music you're going to use,

758
00:41:14.440 --> 00:41:16.280
<v Speaker 2>and then you have to edit all together. Now, did

759
00:41:16.280 --> 00:41:18.639
<v Speaker 2>you have all these components readily available to you?

760
00:41:19.920 --> 00:41:23.760
<v Speaker 11>Well, I had probably five terabytes of video footage, so

761
00:41:23.920 --> 00:41:27.400
<v Speaker 11>that was difficult. But yeah, I just used iMovie and

762
00:41:27.519 --> 00:41:30.559
<v Speaker 11>I bought a cheap track of music on some website

763
00:41:30.599 --> 00:41:31.719
<v Speaker 11>and put it together.

764
00:41:32.360 --> 00:41:35.079
<v Speaker 2>You're telling me you edited that video all together and

765
00:41:35.079 --> 00:41:37.039
<v Speaker 2>shot it yourself too. I mean you didn't have a

766
00:41:37.039 --> 00:41:39.800
<v Speaker 2>cameraman or a videographer involved at any point.

767
00:41:41.000 --> 00:41:43.199
<v Speaker 11>No, I'm the only videographers. I would have the person

768
00:41:43.199 --> 00:41:45.559
<v Speaker 11>I'm traveling with at any given time and handing them

769
00:41:45.559 --> 00:41:46.480
<v Speaker 11>my camera and saying.

770
00:41:46.239 --> 00:41:48.920
<v Speaker 2>Hey, fill me well. Thiago had the same kind of

771
00:41:49.360 --> 00:41:51.559
<v Speaker 2>report to give me on that question, and he I'm

772
00:41:51.559 --> 00:41:54.280
<v Speaker 2>a little surprised because they're very good. You know, the

773
00:41:54.320 --> 00:41:57.280
<v Speaker 2>quality is very nice, and that's amazing. You both have

774
00:41:57.440 --> 00:42:00.199
<v Speaker 2>skills in that area too. How is the competent and

775
00:42:00.320 --> 00:42:01.199
<v Speaker 2>change your goals?

776
00:42:01.599 --> 00:42:05.599
<v Speaker 11>Oh, it absolutely has because up until this point, when

777
00:42:05.599 --> 00:42:08.280
<v Speaker 11>I travel, as I say, I like to find different

778
00:42:08.320 --> 00:42:11.000
<v Speaker 11>conservation efforts to kind of synk my teeth into. And

779
00:42:11.079 --> 00:42:14.280
<v Speaker 11>I've always been one who focuses on sustainable tourism, trying

780
00:42:14.320 --> 00:42:17.400
<v Speaker 11>to find the local companies, people who are doing good,

781
00:42:17.760 --> 00:42:20.639
<v Speaker 11>not just some massive corporation that's trying to sell you

782
00:42:20.760 --> 00:42:23.960
<v Speaker 11>a tour. So I guess that was always my thought

783
00:42:23.960 --> 00:42:26.199
<v Speaker 11>process of I'm doing good in the world, you know,

784
00:42:26.400 --> 00:42:29.679
<v Speaker 11>by kind of spreading my knowledge of these different companies

785
00:42:29.760 --> 00:42:33.000
<v Speaker 11>by putting them on my website or writing blogs on them.

786
00:42:33.159 --> 00:42:35.159
<v Speaker 11>I thought I was doing a pretty good job. But

787
00:42:35.440 --> 00:42:39.360
<v Speaker 11>what I've realized through this is how incredible social media

788
00:42:39.880 --> 00:42:42.519
<v Speaker 11>is and to utilize that platform, and I know the

789
00:42:42.559 --> 00:42:45.280
<v Speaker 11>other competitors would agree. We pretty much put our videos

790
00:42:45.280 --> 00:42:47.719
<v Speaker 11>out there and ask people to support and before you

791
00:42:47.760 --> 00:42:49.760
<v Speaker 11>know it, it blew up. And I think that's really

792
00:42:49.840 --> 00:42:52.880
<v Speaker 11>encouraging moving forward that we do have that effect on

793
00:42:52.960 --> 00:42:55.880
<v Speaker 11>so many people. And obviously wild Kingdom in the past,

794
00:42:55.960 --> 00:42:58.800
<v Speaker 11>that was always the goal was a transfer of knowledge

795
00:42:58.800 --> 00:43:02.519
<v Speaker 11>and wildlife education and awareness. So you know the fact

796
00:43:02.519 --> 00:43:05.519
<v Speaker 11>that we could bring that into I guess modern day society,

797
00:43:05.599 --> 00:43:08.880
<v Speaker 11>bring back that wonderful concept is my new goal. You know,

798
00:43:08.920 --> 00:43:10.559
<v Speaker 11>I really want to be a part of something.

799
00:43:10.280 --> 00:43:13.800
<v Speaker 2>Bigger and doing it in this new way using social media.

800
00:43:13.880 --> 00:43:16.320
<v Speaker 11>Well yeah, oh gosh. I mean it's that whole concept

801
00:43:16.360 --> 00:43:19.079
<v Speaker 11>of viral It really does matter. And I think, you know,

802
00:43:19.639 --> 00:43:23.280
<v Speaker 11>wildlife education person to person is still the best way.

803
00:43:23.320 --> 00:43:25.079
<v Speaker 11>You know, when you can actually hold an animal or

804
00:43:25.559 --> 00:43:28.880
<v Speaker 11>see you know, their movements and their gestures, that's going

805
00:43:28.960 --> 00:43:31.360
<v Speaker 11>to resonate. But if you want to hit a huge

806
00:43:31.360 --> 00:43:34.760
<v Speaker 11>amount of people social media and for instance, Wild Kingdom TV.

807
00:43:35.119 --> 00:43:38.800
<v Speaker 11>Being online is a huge help well, being.

808
00:43:38.639 --> 00:43:42.000
<v Speaker 2>The producer of a podcast and also having done a

809
00:43:42.000 --> 00:43:45.559
<v Speaker 2>television show online too. You know you're speaking to the

810
00:43:45.639 --> 00:43:48.440
<v Speaker 2>choir here, but in fact, I'm sure it's no surprise

811
00:43:48.519 --> 00:43:51.719
<v Speaker 2>to those five million viewers that have checked in at

812
00:43:51.719 --> 00:43:55.320
<v Speaker 2>the Mutual Love Omaha website and seeing your videos there.

813
00:43:55.639 --> 00:43:56.920
<v Speaker 2>That's pretty awesome, isn't it.

814
00:43:57.000 --> 00:43:57.960
<v Speaker 11>Oh, it feels great.

815
00:43:57.960 --> 00:44:00.960
<v Speaker 2>You know that many people are paying attention to this.

816
00:44:01.000 --> 00:44:03.679
<v Speaker 2>It's just amazing. Well, what effects do you expect being

817
00:44:03.800 --> 00:44:06.559
<v Speaker 2>the mutual of Omaha Wild Guide will have on your

818
00:44:06.639 --> 00:44:07.599
<v Speaker 2>daily life?

819
00:44:08.079 --> 00:44:10.880
<v Speaker 11>I'd actually, well hopefully be paid to do what I love.

820
00:44:12.599 --> 00:44:17.679
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well, yeah, you would expect that, and that would

821
00:44:17.719 --> 00:44:19.400
<v Speaker 2>be a change for you. Then you haven't been paid

822
00:44:19.400 --> 00:44:19.800
<v Speaker 2>to do this.

823
00:44:19.800 --> 00:44:23.199
<v Speaker 11>Work up to low Nope, Nope, money's just been going out.

824
00:44:23.559 --> 00:44:25.360
<v Speaker 2>Well yeah, time to turn that around now.

825
00:44:25.840 --> 00:44:27.760
<v Speaker 11>Well, and you know, money aside. If it doesn't go

826
00:44:27.840 --> 00:44:30.360
<v Speaker 11>that way, no worries. It's already my life. I really

827
00:44:30.440 --> 00:44:33.480
<v Speaker 11>don't feel like it would change me that much. It

828
00:44:33.519 --> 00:44:35.800
<v Speaker 11>would just kind of dictate where my travels take me.

829
00:44:36.480 --> 00:44:38.280
<v Speaker 11>So every year, I mean I kind of have my

830
00:44:38.320 --> 00:44:40.840
<v Speaker 11>bucket list of places I want to go in projects

831
00:44:40.840 --> 00:44:43.280
<v Speaker 11>I want to get involved with, and this would just

832
00:44:43.480 --> 00:44:46.079
<v Speaker 11>set me in a different direction or in a specific direction.

833
00:44:46.400 --> 00:44:48.960
<v Speaker 2>Are you expecting the wild Guide position to be a

834
00:44:49.000 --> 00:44:49.920
<v Speaker 2>full time effort?

835
00:44:50.280 --> 00:44:53.559
<v Speaker 11>You know, probably not. I think at the moment they're

836
00:44:53.719 --> 00:44:56.079
<v Speaker 11>wanting to get a few episodes out and see what

837
00:44:56.119 --> 00:44:58.679
<v Speaker 11>the following is, see what kind of interest we can generate,

838
00:44:59.079 --> 00:45:02.199
<v Speaker 11>and from that from whoever the host is, then maybe

839
00:45:02.199 --> 00:45:04.760
<v Speaker 11>they'd look at broadcast television. So I can't say it's

840
00:45:04.760 --> 00:45:06.639
<v Speaker 11>a full time job by any means. It could just

841
00:45:06.639 --> 00:45:08.079
<v Speaker 11>be a couple of webisodes.

842
00:45:09.199 --> 00:45:11.039
<v Speaker 2>They Have they given you any clue? Have they given

843
00:45:11.039 --> 00:45:13.599
<v Speaker 2>you any feedback as to whether they're considering redoing a

844
00:45:13.639 --> 00:45:15.360
<v Speaker 2>TV show or just limiting.

845
00:45:15.079 --> 00:45:15.760
<v Speaker 8>It to the web.

846
00:45:15.960 --> 00:45:18.559
<v Speaker 11>No, they haven't. Right now, it's just web And there

847
00:45:18.599 --> 00:45:20.480
<v Speaker 11>has been talk on some of the press releases. I've

848
00:45:20.480 --> 00:45:23.880
<v Speaker 11>read it says possible TV. But at the moment, I'm

849
00:45:23.880 --> 00:45:26.559
<v Speaker 11>just focusing on, Hey, a webisode is a webisode, and

850
00:45:26.639 --> 00:45:28.559
<v Speaker 11>if we can get the cause out there and get

851
00:45:28.559 --> 00:45:30.599
<v Speaker 11>the word out there, then it's always positive.

852
00:45:30.760 --> 00:45:33.639
<v Speaker 2>What about if you do not win the competition? Do

853
00:45:33.679 --> 00:45:35.360
<v Speaker 2>you expect your life to be different from here on?

854
00:45:35.679 --> 00:45:35.840
<v Speaker 10>Oh?

855
00:45:35.880 --> 00:45:38.239
<v Speaker 11>Well, you know, of course, be pretty bummed about it,

856
00:45:38.320 --> 00:45:40.400
<v Speaker 11>But I'm one of those people who just rolls with

857
00:45:40.440 --> 00:45:42.840
<v Speaker 11>the punches. I'm not going to stop doing what I love.

858
00:45:42.880 --> 00:45:45.400
<v Speaker 11>I'm not going to stop getting involved and spreading the

859
00:45:45.559 --> 00:45:47.840
<v Speaker 11>as I call it, the wild word, and I would

860
00:45:47.840 --> 00:45:50.719
<v Speaker 11>just hope whoever gets it does a fantastic job, and

861
00:45:50.760 --> 00:45:52.360
<v Speaker 11>from the looks of the other competitors, they would.

862
00:45:52.679 --> 00:45:56.280
<v Speaker 2>Do you think that you would put more emphasis on pursuing,

863
00:45:56.800 --> 00:45:59.440
<v Speaker 2>you know, a TV webisode kind of. I mean, you

864
00:45:59.440 --> 00:46:01.800
<v Speaker 2>don't have webs sods up on your website, do you.

865
00:46:02.239 --> 00:46:03.960
<v Speaker 11>I just have a YouTube channel with all my.

866
00:46:04.119 --> 00:46:06.840
<v Speaker 2>Oh you do, Okay, I need to check that out.

867
00:46:07.000 --> 00:46:10.039
<v Speaker 2>So you're producing your own show right now on YouTube?

868
00:46:10.119 --> 00:46:10.760
<v Speaker 8>Is that fairness?

869
00:46:11.000 --> 00:46:13.400
<v Speaker 11>No, not at all. So there are just like two

870
00:46:13.519 --> 00:46:15.840
<v Speaker 11>or three minute videos of me on a safari in

871
00:46:15.920 --> 00:46:18.400
<v Speaker 11>Kenya or I don't know, Well, do you.

872
00:46:18.320 --> 00:46:20.519
<v Speaker 2>Think you might formalize that. I'm not trying to push

873
00:46:20.519 --> 00:46:22.400
<v Speaker 2>you in that direction. I was just wondering if this

874
00:46:22.880 --> 00:46:27.519
<v Speaker 2>being a part of Mutual Omaha's story might have you know,

875
00:46:27.559 --> 00:46:30.920
<v Speaker 2>thinking a little more seriously about a formal program.

876
00:46:30.880 --> 00:46:32.599
<v Speaker 11>You know, And that's something I have looked into. But

877
00:46:32.639 --> 00:46:36.039
<v Speaker 11>I've always struggled when you're producing something. Unless you have

878
00:46:36.119 --> 00:46:38.440
<v Speaker 11>a group of people willing to support you, it's very

879
00:46:38.440 --> 00:46:41.039
<v Speaker 11>difficult to kind of formulate a script and to be

880
00:46:41.039 --> 00:46:43.559
<v Speaker 11>able to film all of your own footage to then

881
00:46:43.719 --> 00:46:45.920
<v Speaker 11>edit it. And especially for me, I'm on the road

882
00:46:46.159 --> 00:46:48.920
<v Speaker 11>a lot, and when you're in the middle of Malawi,

883
00:46:49.000 --> 00:46:50.599
<v Speaker 11>you're not going to have a good Wi Fi connection

884
00:46:50.679 --> 00:46:54.440
<v Speaker 11>to upload a high def video for such an online show.

885
00:46:54.800 --> 00:46:57.920
<v Speaker 11>So I have considered it, but it's very difficult for me,

886
00:46:58.159 --> 00:47:00.440
<v Speaker 11>and I feel like sometimes I miss out on the

887
00:47:00.519 --> 00:47:03.280
<v Speaker 11>day to day interaction, which is in essence why I'm traveling,

888
00:47:03.480 --> 00:47:05.440
<v Speaker 11>because then I have to, you know, shut myself away

889
00:47:05.480 --> 00:47:07.480
<v Speaker 11>to edit a show over a week, and it.

890
00:47:07.440 --> 00:47:10.800
<v Speaker 2>Does take a lot of time. Does I've spent a

891
00:47:10.800 --> 00:47:12.440
<v Speaker 2>ton of hours editing programs?

892
00:47:12.519 --> 00:47:15.239
<v Speaker 11>Yeah, and being a perfectionistatist takes that much longer.

893
00:47:15.559 --> 00:47:18.519
<v Speaker 2>That's right here, does well? What would you like to

894
00:47:18.519 --> 00:47:19.280
<v Speaker 2>tell our listeners?

895
00:47:19.519 --> 00:47:23.239
<v Speaker 11>The final message is just get involved. You know, I've

896
00:47:23.320 --> 00:47:25.880
<v Speaker 11>been very blessed and very fortunate with the lifestyle I lead,

897
00:47:26.159 --> 00:47:28.960
<v Speaker 11>But you don't have to go somewhere exotic to have

898
00:47:29.039 --> 00:47:31.880
<v Speaker 11>these animal encounters or to feel like you're giving back

899
00:47:31.920 --> 00:47:34.679
<v Speaker 11>to two communities and two environments go down to your

900
00:47:34.679 --> 00:47:38.920
<v Speaker 11>local zoo see if you can volunteer or look at internships. Heck,

901
00:47:38.960 --> 00:47:40.719
<v Speaker 11>you could go to one of the weekly classes that

902
00:47:40.760 --> 00:47:44.280
<v Speaker 11>they have on different animals and habitats. You can donate,

903
00:47:44.320 --> 00:47:46.639
<v Speaker 11>you know, even twenty bucks. It's not a lot of money,

904
00:47:46.639 --> 00:47:48.840
<v Speaker 11>but it really can make a difference in some of

905
00:47:48.840 --> 00:47:51.960
<v Speaker 11>these conservation movements. And I'd say the other thing, and

906
00:47:52.079 --> 00:47:54.960
<v Speaker 11>I spoke about it earlier, is social media. If there's

907
00:47:55.000 --> 00:47:57.440
<v Speaker 11>an animal that's close to your heart or a project

908
00:47:57.480 --> 00:47:59.519
<v Speaker 11>close to your heart, put it out there. You never

909
00:47:59.599 --> 00:48:01.519
<v Speaker 11>know what's going to go viral. And by just getting

910
00:48:01.559 --> 00:48:04.440
<v Speaker 11>that knowledge on such a platform, it's going to blow up,

911
00:48:04.480 --> 00:48:06.119
<v Speaker 11>I guarantee you. But we just have to get more

912
00:48:06.159 --> 00:48:08.800
<v Speaker 11>people interested in conservation and awareness.

913
00:48:08.920 --> 00:48:10.519
<v Speaker 2>Well, I have no doubt that people like you are

914
00:48:10.519 --> 00:48:12.719
<v Speaker 2>going to help us do that. And I'm sure all

915
00:48:12.719 --> 00:48:15.119
<v Speaker 2>of our listeners agree with me that we wish you

916
00:48:15.199 --> 00:48:17.840
<v Speaker 2>the best as you move forward in Mutual OMHA's Wild

917
00:48:17.960 --> 00:48:20.559
<v Speaker 2>Guide competition. I want to thank you for being on

918
