Cristina Zenato joins Miesha Tate for an honest conversation about sharks, fear, trust, and the courage to build a life around a calling others do not understand. Cristina shares how a childhood dream took her from Italy to the Bahamas, where one week in the water led her to leave everything behind and begin a 32-year relationship with sharks, cave diving, education, and conservation.Together, they challenge common shark myths, explain why fear is often taught, and explore how breath, preparation, and direct experience can change the way we respond to the unknown. Cristina also opens up about removing hundreds of hooks from sharks, how sharks communicate and seek help, rebuilding through devastating personal and professional losses, choosing purpose over constant happiness, and why one small action can still make a meaningful difference.Connect with Miesha Tate Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mieshatate/ X: https://x.com/mieshatate Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/mieshatatefanpage/ Website: https://mieshatate.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@MieshaTateUFCConnect with Built for Growth Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/builtforgrowthpodcast/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@builtforgrowthpodcast Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Builtforgrowthpodcast/Connect with Cristina Zenato Website: https://cristinazenato.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cristinazenato/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/czunderwater/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cristinazenato/Chapter Markers 00:00 - Meet Cristina Zenato 00:50 - Leaving Everything for a Childhood Dream 07:57 - Building a Career in a Male-Dominated World 14:25 - The Biggest Myths About Sharks 17:43 - Why Shark Bites Are So Rare 22:48 - Using Breath and Preparation to Face Fear 30:32 - Losing Sharks and Fighting Misinformation 38:42 - Removing Hundreds of Hooks From Sharks 42:08 - How Sharks Ask for Help and Communicate 50:40 - Purpose, Happiness and the Choices We Make 56:52 - Rebuilding After Loss, Disaster and the Pandemic 58:23 - The Power of One Small Action 62:23 - Be the Change Where You Are#BuiltForGrowthPodcast #MieshaTate #CristinaZenato #Sharks #SharkConservation #Fear #Trust #Purpose #Resilience #OceanConservation #CaveDiving #PersonalGrowth```

Most people know AJ Richards as an outspoken advocate for ranchers and food sovereignty—but few understand the depth of his mission or the personal journey that led him here. In this episode, Miesha sits down with AJ at the Food Is Medicine Summit to uncover the truth about America’s collapsing food system—and the spiritual calling that pushed him to build FromTheFarm.org, a platform reconnecting families with the farmers who feed them.AJ explains why 90% of grocery store “food” is nutritionally dead, how policy and corporate control have pushed ranchers to the brink, and why the next decade could determine whether America keeps its food independence.
