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.

#131. Raptors and Reels | Robert Nixon

July 09, 2025 • Elevation Barn • Season 11 • Episode 13

To close out Season 11 of ELEVATE, we’re bringing back an inspiring conversation with an extraordinary guest whose life’s work continues to deepen our understanding of purpose, storytelling, and planet-saving activism.

Step into the powerful world of Robert Nixon—acclaimed film director, writer, conservationist, and National Geographic’s “Hero of the Planet.” With over 50 documentaries to his name, an Academy Award nomination, and five Emmy Awards, Bob has spent decades illuminating the courage of individuals who stand up for our Earth—from Dian Fossey to Barack Obama to Dr. Sylvia Earle.

From Gorillas in the Mist to America the Beautiful, Bob’s films illuminate the profound—and often fragile—relationship between humans and nature. Perhaps most inspiring is his dedication to empowering disconnected youth, especially adjudicated youth, through the healing power of nature and the ancient art of falconry.

Join us for this deeply moving conversation as we reflect on storytelling as a force for change, the legacy of one man’s lens in service to the planet—and the courage it takes to protect what matters most.

Thank you for being part of Season 11. We can’t wait to share more voices, visions, and elevation with you in the next season.

Stay tuned—more inspiration is on its way.
