Ocean projects are hard. The science is complicated, the funding is uncertain, the stakeholders don't always agree, and the work happens across sectors that don't always speak the same language. Most of the projects that matter get stuck somewhere in the middle, and most of the people leading them are doing it without a playbook. The Ocean Leaders Podcast is for the people doing that work. Researchers, nonprofit leaders, blue economy founders, Indigenous partners, government project managers, and the communicators, scientists, and consultants who support them. It's a show about the projects, the people, and the practices it takes to move ocean work forward. Every two weeks, hosts Melissa Weber, Natalie Gilson, Kirsti Burnett, and Andrew Lewin bring you a mix of formats: interviews with ocean project leaders about what they're building, tactical episodes on addressing project challenges, coaching conversations on the human side of leading this work, and honest conversations about what the team at Pisces Oceans is seeing across the sector. The show is produced by Pisces Oceans, a communications and strategy firm that works with ocean researchers, nonprofits, and blue economy companies to bring clarity, capacity, and impact to their work. If you're leading an ocean project, or thinking about starting one, this is the show for you. New episodes every other Wednesday.
