He joins us for an inspiring conversation about courage, the climate, and the power of the human spirit.  Lewis is known for his record-setting swims in the world\u2019s most extreme environments, from the North Pole to Antarctica and the icy waters near Mount Everest. Through his daring expeditions, he has brought global attention to the urgent need for ocean conservation, helping secure protection for more than 3.5 million square kilometers of marine habitat.  Recorded just after his highly anticipated 2025 JAWS 50th Anniversary Swim off the coast of Martha\u2019s Vineyard, this episode captures Lewis in a moment of reflection and deep motivation. He shares how he became both a swimmer and an advocate, the physical and emotional toll of long-distance swims in fragile ocean ecosystems, and what this latest mission means to him personally and for world leaders. We explore the shifting state of our oceans, what he\u2019s learned from swimming alongside nature\u2019s most powerful predators, and how he mentally prepares for uncertainty and danger in open water.  This episode isn\u2019t just about adventure. It\u2019s about action. Lewis reminds us that ocean health is human health, and we all have a role to play in protecting the blue heart of our planet.  \ud83d\udd17 Learn more at lewispughfoundation.org and get involved in the fight for the future of our oceans.  ","author_name":"Climate Correction\u2122 Podcast","author_url":"https:\/\/volofoundation.org\/climate-correction-podcast\/","html":"
