  Speaker 1: Erow dot net. It's more than just interviews with famous
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: people and those that are trying to get those superpowers
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: of success. It's actually about content too that deals with
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: your everyday life. That's why we have vocal d frag.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: Ask yourself the questions, then question the answers. It's a
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: leadership role that's going to have you at the head
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: of the table. Ero dot net, Aroe dot net. Enjoy
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: your exploration, Kendall. My god, this is such one of
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: the greatest times of the year every year to be
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: a part of Shark Week. And what you're doing with
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: this shark. Oh my god. We all think we know
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: this shark. We don't, do we.
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: The macOS? Yes, yeah, yeah, No, one really knows much
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: about macOS. That's why I love this show actually is
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: because everyone knows everything about white sharks, but they do
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: not realize that the slightly smaller, potentially more intimidating maco
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: shark is also in these waters.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: You know, I was shocked to learn through you that
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: that the maco has the short fin and then and
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: then you've got the larger fin, And it was like, Okay,
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: how come I've never learned this in science class or
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: anywhere else. Why did I have to come to you
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: to get this? And the reason why is because you've
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: got your game on. That's the reason why.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: Uh So, I think it's also that people aren't often
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: overlapping with macOS, and so they're they're less interested in
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: them because they're a deeper water logic species, and so
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: you know, you see white sharks, for example, great whites
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: along the coasts of places like California where we film
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: this episode, and they're you know, right under swimmers, surfers,
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: et cetera, whereas macOS are in deeper waters, so you're
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: very unlikely to come into contact with a maco if
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: you're the average person. So I think that's why they're
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: less studied and also just less known to people.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: Well, how do you even study? Aren't they the fastest
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: shark on the planet.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: They are, but they're not always that fast. So they
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: can travel up to forty miles an hour when they
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: want to if they're wanting to attack something at a
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: burst speed, but otherwise their crews in at a similar
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: speed to other sharks.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: Encounters with the human beings. I thought that was very
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: interesting because there's a slight chance that they will attack
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: a human what. I don't know. I just thought sharks
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: in general just always attack humans.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: No, sharks are not trying to attack humans.
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: So I always say that if I have a like
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: scuba diving mask on, I love being in the water
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: with sharks because it makes my eyes look even bigger
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: than they actually are, and a shark sees my massive
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: eyes that.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: Aren't actually that massive, but it's the it's the mask
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: giving that that visual. They see me in the water
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: column with long fins on, which you know, make me
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: look two feet taller than I am. I'm vertical, seem
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: like a predator to them, not prey, and so they
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: might approach me out of curiosity just to sort of
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: see what I am, but they're not coming in for
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: an attack, Whereas usually when people are a bit more
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: scared of sharks, it's when they're swimming surfing in the
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: shallows and they don't have a mask on and they
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: can't really make eye contact with the shark for the
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: sharks to know what they are. So anytime you have
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: a shark attack, it's generally a case of mistaken identity,
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: and very often someone who was somewhat splashing around to
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: mimic you know, a dying weak prey, which is what
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: sharks tend to go after. They don't like to go
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: after something that's going to be a hard hunt. Sharks
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: are always going to go after the easiest meal that
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: they can and usually that is a dying or weak animal.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: Well, they're the vacuum cleaners, are they not. I always
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: thought that they were. They were in there to clean
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: things up, and if it doesn't look like that, it's right,
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: they're going to straighten things up a bit.
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly. They are the garbage trucks of the sea.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: Which is what makes them so important to the ecosystem
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: is they're picking off the disease, the dying the week.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: So when people say, you know, what can I do
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: if I see a shark, I'm like, don't look dying,
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: diseased or weak, as in, don't make a big splash.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: So I often think you're better off not knowing the
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: shark is there, because you're likely to not be attacked,
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: especially if you're just calmly in the water. So I
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: think you're better off knowing there's not a shark if
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: you're swimming.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: Oh we're not done talking about sharks. We'll be right
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: back with kindle Burna. Shark Week is back on Discovery
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: the Biggest Mako on Earth. We are back with Kindle Burna.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: I totally understand why people are afraid of sharks because
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: of the headlines and because of what we've seen on
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: television and stuff. But if people would just take the
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: time to look into the spirituality of the shark, we're
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: talking about that they are a sign of sensitivity. You
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: are to allow yourself to swim through your emotion, maintain
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: your dignity and self respect. That sounds like an animal
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: that doesn't hate the human. It sounds like they want
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: to love us even more than what we're loving them.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: Okay, this is getting a little woo wu. I can
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: go with this. I love this. No one has brought
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: up the spirituality of sharks yet, but I love that
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: we're going there because I would say I have many
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: moments or Shark Week where I'm underwater swimming with a
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: shark and it does feel like this crazy kind of
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: spiritual almost like I you can't describe. In order to
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: be in the water with something like a mako, that's
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: like attacking a piece of tuna next to you. I'm
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: just like most people don't get to ever do this
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: sort of a dance with a mako shark. You know.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: So it's interesting you brought up the spirituality and respect
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: because I do feel like once a shark realizes what
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: we are, they know that we're not their prey. They're
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: curious as to what we are, but they're not going
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: to try to attack us. It's really only a taste
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: of mistaken identity.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: Ever, well, what we need to do is look deeper
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: into them, because I mean, when you're feeling you know,
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: overwhelmed and you're intense, what you're supposed to do is
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: call upon the tote of animal, the shark, because they're
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: going to help you understand that you can make your
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: way through bullying at work or bullying at school, because
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: they don't let you be manipulated. If you would just
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: study the life of the shark and really look into it,
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: don't just see it as words or pictures on a screen.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: Look into their life like you're doing.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: So.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: I'm so damn jealous of you.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it is. It is a really like people will say,
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: you know, like, why do you do this? I'm like,
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: because it's something that so few people in the world
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: get to do, you know, I don't know, it's I
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: had a few right cards that led me to get
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: to do this. But I do think for most people,
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: if they could get themselves into a you know, a
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: good shark encounter, it would it would completely change their minds.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: And very often, you know, people will do their first
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: shark dive with something like a Caribbean reef shark, and
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: anyone I've taken to do a shark dive like that
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: is like I came into the super skill and these
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: sharks actually seem really tiny from a distance and they're
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: super scared of me. Like generally a shark sees you
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: and is like but I don't want to come near that,
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: whereas the makeos if you dangle a piece of tuna
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: next to your head, they're more likely to approach you.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: So that's kind of what we do for the sake
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: of Shark Week.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: Where can people go to find out more about what
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: you're doing, because I want them to talk about you
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: well after Shark Week, because sharks are every day, not
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: just a week.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah. So I have an ocean conservation nonprofit that's mostly
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: in the British Virgin Islands, where I lived for many years,
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: and we do shark research. We do coral restoration, We
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: do humpback whales, sperm whale research. We do a bunch
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: of kids education camps to teach them about sharks and
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: mangroves and quarrel. We clean up ghost fishing gear, which
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: is like abandoned fishing gear that ends up on the reefs,
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: ends up entangling whales and tangling sharks. So we try
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: to do all around ocean conservation. And that's called Beyond
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: the Reef and it's in the British Virgin Islands. So
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: we have a really cool program there. It's awesome in
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: that it's a small kind of island territory and so
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: I feel like we get to make a really big
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: impact there, which is great. I love it.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: Please come back to this show anytime in the future.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: The door is always going to be open for you. Kendle.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: Thank you so much for having me.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: Will you be brilliant today?
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: Okay, thank you
