Hey, everybody. Welcome back to the Mo News podcast. We wanted to feature a few of our favorite

conversations from the last year during this holiday week. One of my favorite conversations this

year was the one I had with husband and wife photography and conservationist team, Christina

Middermeyer and Paul Nicklin.

You might follow them on Instagram. They have tens of millions of followers for their incredible

pictures of nature of the earth, of the oceans. We had an in-depth conversation about the state

of our oceans, the state of conservationism, the state of climate change, and we literally go deep into the oceans

with what they mean and how they impact the planet. I learned a lot of fascinating things

in this podcast, including how important whales are as allies in the fight against climate change.

Literally, they help take more CO2 out of the atmosphere through their actions, literally what they

eat and then what eventually comes out. They will explain the whale poop cycle and what it means for

CO2. We also, of course, beyond climate change, talk about photography and how they get up close

with some of the biggest, scariest creatures on earth and how they keep their calm

next to the polar bears, next to the whales, next to sharks. So I think you'll find this

conversation equal parts educational, inspirational, interesting, and informative. Before we get
