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