Today's guest, George McKenzie is a National Geographic Explorer, award-winning filmmaker, and conservation photographer. His journey from the bustling streets of Brooklyn to the untamed landscapes of Florida is a testament to the transformative power of nature. His acclaimed short documentary, The Book of George, has screened at Telluride Mountainfilm, Banff, Jackson Wild, and other major festivals, anchoring an impact campaign that brings photography and conservation storytelling workshops to youth across the country. George is deeply committed to mentorship and through his lens and his voice, George inspires audiences to protect wild places, connect with their own stories, and reimagine what conservation looks like in their communities. As a Live Wildly Adventurist, Explorer’s Club Member, and EC50 Class of 2022 Honoree, George is passionately dedicated to making conservation a personal and accessible journey for all. Join George and I as we discuss the unlikely steps that took him from the streets of Brooklyn to the untamed landscapes of Florida to live his dream of conservation photography and mentorship across the country.
