Firuze Gokce| Whales, Wonder, and Finding Home | The Sound Legacy Podcast #4

When Firuze Gokce and her family moved from Turkey to Petaluma, California, they’d never even visited. But something about a podcast host’s voice, the pull of the ocean, and a gut-level trust in intuition led them across the world—and into a new life.In this episode, Firuze shares her journey from tech entrepreneur to visual artist and whale advocate. Raised in a home filled with political debate, family meals, and compassion, Firuze’s love of storytelling—and marine life—was passed down from her father. Now, she creates vivid, sound-inspired paintings that honor whales, spark curiosity, and support conservation.She and host Andrew Couch explore identity, values, motherhood, migration, and what it means to live with intention. This is a story about listening—across cultures, generations, and even species.Listen now, and share it with someone who knows that the eyes of a whale—and the heart of an artist—can teach us how to live with more wonder.Follow us @mysoundlegacy and visit mysoundlegacy.com to learn how we can help preserve the voices and stories that matter most.See Firuze's art here - https://orangeorca.artBusiness Adventures - https://growifymarketing.com Save the Whales - https://acs-sfbay.org/donate - https://www.soalliance.org/donation -https://donorbox.org/bayquest-kickoff-1 - https://www.orcasound.net/support/#don
