Episode 255: Dr. Tierney Thys | NatGeo Explorer + Co-Founder Around The World in 80 Fabrics

I don’t know how anyone can be bored on this planet. There’s so much to learn and so many interesting questions to be asked.
— Tierney Thys

How do we only work on projects we love? How do we find time for everything that matters to us? How do we avoid getting overwhelmed by the state of things? I begin by seeking advice from someone whose accomplishments seem to span multiple individuals or lifetimes, yet who remains simultaneously happy and vivacious.  That person is our esteemed guest on today’s new Powerful Ladies Podcast, Dr. Tierney Thys. She’s a marine biologist, National Geographic explorer, filmmaker, marathon runner, activist, and co-founder of Around the World in 80 Fabrics. In this episode we dive into how she has accomplished so much, what motivates her, how she stays centered and what actions she wishes everyone would take.
