This Burmese python wants to know what
00:00:02
is inside the diary of a CEO.
00:00:05
>> Oh my god.
00:00:05
>> Beautiful. Now, what are you feeling
00:00:07
right now?
00:00:07
>> Wondering why I do this for a living.
00:00:09
>> Have you ever done a podcast with a
00:00:11
10-ft snake across the table before?
00:00:13
>> No, this is my first.
00:00:15
>> Awesome. And then we'll bring out the
00:00:16
next friend.
00:00:17
>> Just don't bring it over here.
00:00:18
>> Just don't move.
00:00:20
>> Paul, what have you spent the last 20
00:00:22
years of your life doing? living out of
00:00:24
a backpack in the Amazon rainforest
00:00:26
barefoot with a machete to help the
00:00:28
indigenous people [music] save the
00:00:29
Amazon. Whatever it takes, which means
00:00:31
crocodile bites, a snake bus. Very rare
00:00:33
diseases hunted by the narot
00:00:35
traffickers. It's a picture of that guy.
00:00:36
That scar [music] is because he was shot
00:00:38
in the head by a 7ft arrow while he was
00:00:40
trying to make peaceful contact with the
00:00:41
unconted tribes. And this is actually a
00:00:43
very important story.
00:00:45
>> I think I have a video of this.
00:00:46
>> Yeah, this is world first footage. So,
00:00:48
the tribe isolated so deep in the jungle
00:00:50
that they've never heard of a spoon or
00:00:52
the wheel or Jesus was coming out to
00:00:54
make contact. So, we do a two-day boat
00:00:56
journey in one night through the worst
00:00:58
thunderstorm I've ever seen. They were
00:01:00
scared. We were scared cuz [music] these
00:01:01
tribes kill people all the time. And
00:01:03
they had one question. How do we tell
00:01:05
the bad guys from the good guys? You
00:01:07
see, these people are being hunted by
00:01:08
traffickers and gold miners and loggers
00:01:11
and boxed in by deforestation. But if
00:01:13
our oceans of rainforests are vanishing,
00:01:15
life on Earth is not possible. Now, it's
00:01:17
not too late, but we're the last
00:01:18
generation that can save it.
00:01:20
>> Paul, young kids are growing up attached
00:01:21
to screens, and loneliness is at an
00:01:23
all-time high. Is there anything that
00:01:24
you learned in those 15 years that a
00:01:26
westerner like me would find useful?
00:01:28
>> 100%. So let's start with purpose.
