Ep 13 - Fredrik Granath - The Polar Bear's Story

Fredrik Is a producer and photographer. Together, with his partner Melissa Schäfer,  he works in the arctic photographing and documenting the lives of polar bears -  with the intent of conveying their stories to the world.

Since 2001 he has been working in and around the Arctic. He is also a producer and adviser for other films, including National Geographic and other film studios.

Fredrik has a real love for polar bears. He hopes that his work will help tell their story, and portray the urgency in which we need to tackle climate change.

Fredrik is one of those people, that by the end of the episode, I felt like I had been friends with for a long time. We share similar ideals and philosophies on life. The podcast revolved around his expertise in the arctic region, polar bears, how to deal with such extreme weather conditions, and a crazy story of one polar bear that decided to come a bit too close...

We also spoke about the current COVID19 situation in Sweden (where he currently resides), what made him make the switch from an ad man to a polar photographer/producer, and the power of photography.

As always - enjoy the podcast!
