What you'll learn from this episode:

  • How did a non-Hollywood superfood mogul like Darin wind up co-hosting a Netflix travel series about sustainability with movie star Zac Efron?

  • Why Down to Earth (and any media appearance he makes) isn't just a show for Darin. It's a mission.

  • The adjustments Darin had to make to trust a team beyond his own and operate in unfamiliar territory while working on such a high budget production.

  • The harsh realities driven home by working on this series, like the dire consequences our planet faces from 9.2 billion metric tons of plastic breaking down in its ecosystems, oceans, and waterways.

  • How these adventures will raise a global audience's awareness to miraculous and botanical health remedies, green energy, strategies for fighting climate change, efforts to solve environmental catastrophes, why water is more than just H2O, and more!

  • And so much more!
