In Episode 3 of Humble Drive, Jaime profiles Paul Watson, the fearless and controversial founder of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society. From his early days as a Greenpeace co-founder to his decades-long battle against illegal whaling and overfishing, this episode dives into the story of a man willing to risk it all to save marine life. Jaime explores the origins of Sea Shepherd, Watson’s bold (and sometimes divisive) tactics, and the ongoing legal battles that have landed him in international headlines—including his recent detention in Greenland on an extradition request from Japan. This episode not only unpacks Watson’s extraordinary career but also asks the tough questions: Are his methods justified? And what does his fight mean for the future of our oceans?"
