First up, we have episode 2 with acclaimed musician Dave Matthews! We love this episode because it is such an unexpected pairing, yet with surprising amounts of common thinking and passion! Both Dr. Goodall and Dave Matthews decided to use their innate talents to connect people to essential issues. That drive gives them more to talk about than you might think! So how did these icons two become besties?

Kira graduated from Smith College in 2021, majoring in anthropology and minoring in art history, and during her time there she developed a deep interest in the field of anthrozoology. Her interests within this field are broad, and have led her to study elephant iconography in the U.S. and wildlife management in Tanzania. JGI's values and mission as well as the mindset of anthrozoology guide her work, exploring the interactions between humans and other animals in order to promote a healthier coexistence on this shared planet.
