Turning the Tide: From Corporate Career to Ocean Activism with Fynn Hedrich
Show notes
In this special episode of We Need to Act, Sara joins Podcasthon, the world’s largest podcast charity initiative, to spotlight a cause that affects us all: protecting our oceans.
Today’s guest is Fynn Hedrich, entrepreneur and founder of Ocean Pulse. After building a successful career in the meat industry, Fynn made a life-changing decision to step away and pursue more purpose-driven work. His journey led him to travel, adopt a vegetarian lifestyle, and develop a deep connection to the ocean through kite surfing—an experience that opened his eyes to the devastating impact of marine pollution.
In this conversation, Fynn shares the pivotal moments that shaped his transition, the realities of ocean degradation, and how Ocean Pulse is working to create tangible, lasting impact. Together, we explore the systems behind ocean pollution, the power of individual and collective action, and what it truly means to align your career with your values.
If you’re looking for inspiration, practical insight, and a reminder that change is possible, this episode is for you.
