Chapter 1: Who is the guest on this episode?
Hello, Daddy Gang. Welcome back to another episode of Call Her Daddy. This week's guest is Jane Goodall. I am freaking out, okay? I am so excited for you to watch this episode. Jane has dedicated her life to science and has made groundbreaking discoveries. She is truly a trailblazer and has paved the way forward for generations of women. Before we get into this interview...
I did want to take a moment to acknowledge that I think that this episode might be a little different than what you're used to on Call Her Daddy every week. I know a lot of you come here to get to know some of the biggest celebrities on a more It obviously doesn't hurt when they spill some tea.
But sometimes I think it's good to switch it up and step away from the conversations that we're having on social media constantly, 24-7. And so I wanted to sit down with someone who has spent their life truly connected to the real world. And that is why this conversation with Jane is genuinely so special because
Dr. Jane Goodall is 91 years old, the oldest guest that we've had on Call Her Daddy, and the wisdom that she carries is unlike anything that I've ever experienced. Sitting across from her, I felt it. Her presence, her perspective, it was so grounding in a way that I didn't realize I even needed, and I want you to feel that too today. So,
What is up, Daddy Gang?
It is your founding father, Alex Cooper, with Call Her Daddy. Dr. Jane Goodall, welcome to Call Her Daddy. Hi. Hello. How are you doing?
Well, you know, this is, I'm in the middle of an American spring tour, and it's pretty exhausting, to be honest. Yesterday was super exhausting.
Can you tell me a little bit about what you're doing?
Well, what I'm doing is trying to help people understand that we're going through very dark times. And if we don't get together and start doing what each of us can to make the world a better place, you know, the future is very uncertain.

Chapter 2: What wisdom does Dr. Jane Goodall share?
incredible to know that you basically took a pretty untraditional trajectory with your life and you took a risk and you went for something that you know you were passionate about could you give any of my listeners but we have a lot of young women listening who maybe they're thinking right now like should i take a risk whether it's with their career or their life trajectory what it whatever it be like do you have any advice in taking risks as a young adult
Well, I can only think of the advice my mother gave me. You know, if you want to do something, work hard and take advantage of opportunity. The key thing is you've got to know you really want to do it. So today, you know, people take gap years. And that's really good because you can find out, is this really what I want to spend my life doing?
And also I meet young people and they're perhaps in their second year at university. And they say, well, you know, I actually made a mistake, but I can't change now. Well, that's the biggest mistake. Because if this is going to be the rest of your life, change now while you can into a different, you know, different career path.
It's such a great lesson because I feel like there's two types of people growing up. Either there's the person similar to yourself where you have this unwavering, undying love for something that you just know innately in your soul. Like I have been called to do this. I want to do this. And then there are people who are a little lost or confused. And that is also a very normal path.
And they have to find what they love and they have to find what they're passionate about. And I think a lot of times people in that category find themselves just trying to do things that other people are doing around them because, oh, well, my friend's doing this. Maybe I will do it. And it's hard to just originally find what makes you happy.
So I love that advice of like, if you genuinely to your core know that this isn't what you want, well, first you need to just try it to know you don't want it and to go for it first. And then if you hate it. Yeah.
And, you know, there's another thing that some women really want to be homemakers. And yet it's getting so that they're despised. You want to stay at home and you want to cook and you want to look after your children instead of being out there having a career and... you know, standing up shoulder to shoulder with your male counterparts, well, that's wrong too.
Because if that makes you really happy, then your children will be happy, your husband, if you have one, or your boyfriend or whoever probably will be happy. And happiness is so important. It's the king of Bhutan who made this happiness index.
And it's fascinating to see, you know, that getting more and more money and more and more fame and more and more, you know, doesn't necessarily make people happy.
