ABOUT THIS EPISODE
What if the ocean — the very source of every second breath we take — remains one of the least understood parts of our planet?
In this episode of Integration: Strategies in Business for a World in Flux, Samantha Jewel sits down with world-renowned oceanographer Dr. David Gallo — a man whose career spans the discovery of the Titanic, the recovery of missing black boxes, and more than 40 years spent mapping the unseen world below. But Gallo isn’t here to glorify exploration. He’s here to reveal how little we still know… and why that ignorance could cost us dearly.
Together, they cover:
- How the ocean gives us air, food, and fresh water — yet barely registers in global priorities
- Why plastic, pollution, and politics are distractions from the real ocean threats
- The maddening truth behind global seafood supply chains — and why most of our fish is imported
- How data from the ocean floor could be the key to understanding climate cycles
- Why real change must come from curiosity, not catastrophe
Whether you're a policymaker, philanthropist, investor, or just someone who loves the sea, this conversation will leave you questioning everything you thought you knew about our planet.
