James Harris and Jared Braunstein are the Toronto-based duo behind How to Survive, a fast-growing YouTube series that blends science, storytelling, and survival. James, the show's creator and a former science writer with a personal history of overcoming medical and outdoor challenges, brings a grounded, research-driven perspective. Jared, a seasoned host and entertainer, adds humor and relatability as the show's on-screen guide. Together, they explore both real and hypothetical life-or-death scenarios—from nuclear disasters to exotic animal escapes—with the goal of educating and captivating global audiences. Their work has expanded across 12+ languages, with plans to grow the series into a documentary-style TV show and podcast.
