Jeffrey Heim

Entrepreneur, Shark Steward

Hey there, listeners! Meet Jeff Heim, the fearless adventurer you might recognize from a viral sensation—the guy who survived an alligator bite to the head while diving for shark teeth back in May 2021. But hold up, there's more to Jeff than that jaw-dropping encounter! 🐊

Before he even had his close-up with Mr. Alligator, Jeff was already living the dream as a shark tooth hunter, turning his passion for fossilized chompers into a real gig. Jeff's mission is to pivot that gnarly experience into something profoundly positive through his venture, SHRKco. 🦈

With 2021 being a record year for animal extinctions (yikes 😢), SHRKco aims to do its part in turning the tide. The plan? Use the incredibly preserved teeth of ancient sharks as a springboard to advocate for a more harmonious relationship with Mother Nature. 🌎

Jeff is all about transforming his pain into purpose, striving to make the world a better place—one shark tooth and one life lesson at a time. So, lend him your ears as he joins Jay Hicks to share his incredible story of tragedy, triumph, and teeth! 🌟

Thanks for being here, Jeff, and reminding us to live symbiotically with our planet. Your journey is an inspiration, and we're stoked to have you on The Tragedy Academy Podcast. Keep being awesome, and thanks for sharing the ride with us! 👏
