ELEVATE Podcast

For every leader, there’s an Elevation. What's an elevation? A moment or series of moments of clarity that can be put into action to elevate your life or purpose. We elevate through empathy, respect, inspiration, impact, and maybe most of all, diversity of thought. Why do we do it? Leaders are taught to be so self-reliant, that they often lose themselves. We believe that clarity of purpose is a human necessity and that sharing is the best philosophy for leadership. We turn the challenges we face into conversations and those conversations into clarity.

#128. Anote's Ark | Matthieu Rytz

July 01, 2025 • Elevation Barn • Season 11 • Episode 10

The Pacific Island nation of Kiribati is one of the most remote places on Earth, seemingly far removed from the pressures of modern life. Yet it is among the first countries forced to confront the greatest existential dilemma of our time: imminent annihilation from rising sea levels.

Set against the backdrop of international climate and human rights negotiations, this story follows director Matthieu Rytz’s quest to amplify the voice of President Anote Tong as he fights to save 100,000 people living in a country spread across an area the size of Australia.
