Black Nerds Matter

I’m joined by Randy Thomas wildlife researcher, educator, and underwater filmmaker, also known as “5K.” Randy’s path has been anything but ordinary: from athlete to Air Force, from scientist to global explorer, and now Netflix Star!

We dive into his journey of blending science, storytelling, and media appearing on shows like All the Sharks while also consulting and building his own brand. Randy shares how travel, family, and curiosity continue to shape his work and the communities he uplifts.
