Welcome to Mind The Mic Podcast, where we delve deep into the lives and stories of remarkable individuals who have overcome adversity to find success and fulfillment. In this episode, we are honored to sit down with Son - The Ancient One, a true embodiment of resilience, wisdom, and determination.

Son's journey is one of remarkable twists and turns, rooted in his proud Maori-Samoan heritage and shaped by the challenges of his upbringing. Born in Hamilton and raised in Whakatane, Son navigated the rough streets of his neighborhood, finding solace and strength in the discipline of martial arts, a path that would shape his future in profound ways.

As a teenager, Son made the bold move to Australia, where he faced new trials and tribulations. At just 18 years old, he became a father to a daughter with multiple disabilities, a pivotal moment that propelled him to reassess his life's direction. Simultaneously, the recession forced him out of his job as a welder, prompting a transformative career shift towards becoming a personal trainer.

But Son's journey doesn't stop there. With a growing family of eight children, he is a staunch advocate for holistic health and wealth, promoting the importance of organic nutrition and mindful consumption. He passionately speaks out against the consumption of meat from tortured animals, shedding light on the detrimental effects of stress hormones on our bodies.

Son's wisdom extends beyond the physical realm. He is the author of a book on self-mastery, outlining six key principles with Mana at its core. Through his own struggles, particularly in caring for his disabled daughter, Son embodies the principles he preaches, demonstrating the power of resilience, empathy, and self-mastery in the face of adversity.

In this candid interview, Son - The Ancient One, creates a space for vulnerability and authenticity, inviting our host, Shubz, to share his own personal struggles and moments of transformation. Together, they explore the profound impact of hardship on one's journey towards self-realization and the unwavering commitment required to turn dreams into reality.

Join us as we unravel the layers of Son's extraordinary life, filled with lessons of strength, compassion, and unwavering determination. This is Mind The Mic Podcast, where stories inspire and empower us to embrace the fullness of our human experience.

Get ready to immerse yourself in the rhythmic cadence and poignant storytelling of a true lyrical maestro as Mind The Mic proudly presents Diggy Dialekt. Born amidst the rugged beauty of Australia's Northern Territory, Dialekt roots run deep with the spirit of both his Australian heritage and Indigenous ancestry. Raised in the vibrant melting pot of Guam, with stints in the serene landscapes of Saipan, his journey through the world of hip-hop is as diverse and captivating as the beats that underscore his life's soundtrack.

It was in the sun-drenched streets of Guam that Dialekt first fell in love with the raw energy and unfiltered emotion of rap music. Inspired by the pulsating rhythms and thought-provoking lyricism, he embarked on a quest for mastery, honing his craft and carving out his own unique niche in the world of hip-hop.

From humble beginnings to international acclaim, Dialekt's journey has been nothing short of extraordinary.

With Guams's number one record "Summer Time" under his belt, Dialekt's rise to the top is a testament to his unwavering dedication and undeniable talent.

But Dialekt's journey has been marked by more than just musical triumphs. A survivor of bowel cancer, he knows firsthand the harrowing journey of battling illness and the importance of resilience in the face of adversity. Through his advocacy work for opioid addiction awareness, he shines a light on the dangers of relying solely on pain relief, urging others to seek holistic approaches to healing and coping.

Now calling Perth, Western Australia home, Dialekt continues to pay it forward, using his platform to uplift and empower local artists in the vibrant music scene. From mentoring aspiring rappers to hosting community events, he remains committed to nurturing talent and fostering a culture of collaboration and creativity.
