French Polynesia | The Brando: The Billionaire's Swimming Pool, The Healing Spirit of Tetiaroa, and Marlon Brando's Passion for Conservation

Today we travel to a private atoll in French Polynesia called Tetiaroa. Here you'll find The Brando, a world famous resort composed of 35 luxury villas surrounded by a sparkling turquoise lagoon.

The island was bought decades ago by Marlon Brando, who once said "Tetiaroa is beautiful beyond my capacity to describe." So if this island left a famous actor completely speechless, imagine what it will do for you.

Years later as the resort was developed, Brando's deep passion for the island and early focus on sustainability has made the resort not only beautiful, but also completely sustainable. Our guest today is Silvio Bion, who has been managing the property since the very beginning.

We discuss everything from the early days of constructing The Brando, to the special spirit of Tetiaroa, to the warm heart of the people.
