Our guest this week is the most pioneering woman we’ve ever had on the show.


Canadian Jill Heinerth is arguably the world’s greatest cave diver and underwater explorer. She’s also a writer, photographer and filmmaker.


Jill literally goes places no human has ever gone before. She’s swum past the graves of more than 100 of her friends, as well as having some pretty close calls herself.


Jill is the first Explorer in Residence for the Royal Canadian Geographical Society, she’s also a recipient of Canada’s prestigious Polar Medal, and a Fellow of the International Scuba Divers Hall of Fame.


To put it simply, Jill’s life story is extraordinary.


In this episode you’ll hear:

  • Why Jill chooses to chase fear not run from it
  • How Jill has learnt to develop and combine different skills in order to make her cave diving and exploring career sustainable
  • What happened after she dived in the crevices of an iceberg in Antarctica
  • How Jill thinks about putting a team for a new expedition together, and
  • How she feels being the star of a new, award-winning documentary about her career, called Diving Into The Darkness.*

Jill Heinerth is an amazing storyteller so enjoy this fascinating conversation with the intrepid and eloquent Jill Heinerth.


* P.S. If you’re in Sydney don’t miss the chance to see screenings of the documentary during the first week of October with Jill attending in person along with Director Nays Baghai.
