What does it take to save the ocean—and ensure our grandkids can still enjoy a fish sandwich? 🦈 In this powerful episode, Brad Lea sits down with Chris Fischer, the founder of OCEARCH, the disruptor who led a successful TV show on ESPN before pivoting to ocean conservation in 2007. Realizing the white sharks' health impacts the entire marine ecosystem—and spotting a systemic gap where scientists lacked the practical fishing knowledge to study them—Chris bridged science and skilled fishermen to pioneer open-source research. He's led 48+ expeditions, tagged 400+ great white sharks, and unlocked data driving global policy and education.

This isn't just about sharks—it's about ecosystem balance and global abundance. Tune in to learn why sharks are the linchpin keeping fisheries thriving, orcas as ruthless apex predators hunting shark livers, U.S. wins in ocean recovery through math and science, and what it takes to scale worldwide. Get survival tips for facing the deep and why data trumps emotional gridlock every time.

⚠️ WARNING: You'll never look at a fish sandwich—or a shark—the same way again.
