193: Hope in Action with Dr. Jane Goodall

In this episode, we celebrate the incredible life and legacy of Dr. Jane Goodall — world-renowned primatologist, environmentalist, and lifelong advocate for animals and the planet.

During this very special episode, we reflect on her 91st birthday and share highlights from a rare and personal interview I had the honor of recording with her. We explore the connection between science, spirituality, and activism, dive into what chimpanzees might teach us about ourselves, and reimagine how we define our relationship with nature — all through the wise and hopeful lens of Dr. Goodall.

Happy birthday, Dr. Goodall. Thank you for your tireless work and for showing us that every individual makes a difference. 

Thank you for all the messages and inparticular the two below:

Her favorite quote from Dr. Jane is: “You cannot get through a single day without having an impact on the world around you.”

She writes: “Thank you, Dr. Jane, for all your inspiration, and keep doing what you do to inspire the younger generation. One person cannot save all the animals, BUT one person can make a difference for animals.”

“On your birthday, Dr. Goodall, I would simply say: Thank you. Thank you for showing us that every small action matters, that hope is a choice, and that one voice—when used with purpose—can inspire a global movement. Wishing you a day filled with the same joy and wonder you’ve given to the world.”

Thank you for the amazing team at Terra at Expo and Roots and Shoots for hosting this amazing event.
