Cory Richards - National Geo Photographer | Filmmaker + Inspirational Speaker

Today Mariel & Melissa welcome Cory Richards to the show! Cory is an internationally renowned photographer, filmmaker/director, and writer. He is an artist and storyteller who passionately explores the human experience through all mediums. Cory uses his life as a conduit to illuminate the global issues we face and how to overcome them through re-humanization, the reimagining of leadership, and vulnerability. His work for National Geographic Magazine began with adventure features, exploring the most remote corners of the globe from Antarctica to the Russian Arctic. As a professional climber, his early career was defined by high-risk expeditions and leaned on his unique skillset to capture stories that were largely out of reach to others. Much of Cory’s life has been defined by his journey with Mental Health to which he speaks openly and honestly, laying bare the hidden struggles that so many face in silence and solitude. As a high school dropout at 14, his life has followed an irregular arch that has lent itself well to exploring the balance of high achievement and struggles with mental health.
