In this Episode of The Lui Diaz Podcast, you’ll Natasha Ejaz and Rishabh Rajan who introduce themselves and their collaborative debut album Ordinary Miracle aka Heeray Moti.

Please subscribe xo

The two South-Asian musical trailblazers will take us all the way back to the beginning of their 15-year journey as both collaborators and friends and give us a firm understanding of the depths reached in their creative partnership after having worked together, overcome obstacles and made magic over such a long period of time.

And magic they have made! As the Ying to each other’s Yang, Rishabh and Natasha give us insight into how their individual creative processes combine to make this album a truly spectacular listen.

Making this magical album meant embracing the natural imperfections encountered while recording an independent album, taking their audience on a sonic journey filled with quirk and character, building replicas of ancient instruments from scratch and even the emergence of Natasha the rapper.

But beyond the production challenges and discoveries, we explore the personal, political, and social obstacles that had to be overcome. Add to that, not only was this album put together on a shoestring budget but the fact that this talented duo happen to be based on opposite sides of the globe, makes the completion of this album nothing short of an ordinary miracle.

Thank you once again for listening, where ever you are, I see you, thank you 🙏

You can connect with Natasha and Rishabh via Instagram @natashaoninsta and @rishabhrajan and be sure to follow Natasha Humera Ejaz on Spotify where you’ll find her incredible new album ‘Ordinary Miracle’.

In this episode of The Lui Diaz Podcast, you’ll get to know Studio 18, Lead Engineer Caleb Moscoso, who takes us into his journey of building his life as an audio engineer.

Yo! The Lui Diaz Podcast needs your help to stay awesome :) Please subscribe xo

You can’t help but love people like Caleb. As a self-proclaimed “really great wingman”, the thing that really strikes me about Caleb is just how deeply passionate he is about helping others bring their visions to life.

Among the stories, the wise words and the laughs, you’ll also hear that it’s really been through the hundreds of amazing collaborations that Studio 18 has enabled Caleb to have, that he’s developed a profound understanding of how important it really is to invest in other people and treat everyone with the utmost respect and professionalism, no matter where they are in their journey.

Caleb also covers:

* The power feeling more and thinking less in the creative process

* The power of community and how the “magical” Studio 18 really does it like no other and

* How taking one day at a time allows him to be fully present to engage in one meaningful experience after another.

I absolutely loved chatting to Caleb, the man is a vibe and so is this episode!

Thank you once again for listening, where ever you are, I see you, thank you 🙏

In this episode of The Lui Diaz Podcast, you’ll meet Cameron Williams, who isn’t just a modern day Aussie legend, he’s an adventurer and dare I say explorer. Wait, explorer?

Subscribe to The Lui Diaz Podcast mailing list for immediate access to the latest episodes.

Yes that’s right, I said explorer, but before I get to that here’s a little bit more about the episode.

Joining us from deep in the jungle of Costa Rica (well, not sure it was the jungle, but it sounds cool) where you’ll occasionally catch the ringing of crickets in the background of cams track, Cam takes us through is EPIC journey in which he’s riding his tandem bike from the Northern tip of North America (Prudhoe Bay, Alaska) to the Southern tip of South America (Ushuia, Argentina) with the intention of sharing the journey with a bunch of random strangers, namely anyone who decides to join him at any stage of the journey.

Epic bike ride huh!?

Yes it is. But what you’ll quickly learn is that this journey is about SO MUCH MORE than the bike. In what happens to be another episode where I can’t believe I get to talk such incredible humans and share their incredible insights with you all, you’ll catch us discussing not just the journey and the logistics of it in detail, but also:

* Why Cam decided to risk it all by inviting total strangers to join him

* The ways in which ceaseless acts of kindness continue to blow him away

* Life-long bonds created and some that already existed strengthened by adversity

* And, oh yes how the bike has just been a vehicle with which he’s been able to explore 2 continents but also explore the beauty of human connections.

Once again I f*king love this Podcast, I think Cameron Williams is not only a beautiful man but a beacon of hope in this world and I hope you freaking love this episode as much as I have xo

Thank you once again for listening, wherever you are, I see you, thank you 🙏

In this episode of The Lui Diaz Podcast, you’ll meet Cata Castaño, who’ll share her process and the road to finding herself. But how exactly does a young woman from Bogotá, Colombia go about finding herself?

Please subscribe to The Lui Diaz Podcast xo

It was a lot of fun chatting with Cata. The way she talks about our inner-child, being able to play, exploring the limits of her physical capabilities and her body’s full potential and even seeing the world as a playground is truly inspiring.

But sure, what’s inspiring for some might only land on thought-provoking for others, but when Cata dives into the lost art of having hobbies and making friends in fun places, friends whose company we can enjoy perfectly well without discussion of careers or responsibilities, I’ll challenge any ‘grown-up’ out there not to think back to the ‘good old days’ and wonder how and when we made life so complicated.

But this episode is about so much more than just finding ourselves, it’s about finding our tribe, finding our communities, and the notion that communities of like-minded people that come together for the sheer enjoyment of an activity seem to be society’s last bastions for finding true encouragement, unconditional support and a feeling that I think all of us truly long for of feeling uplifted.

You can connect with Cata on Instagram @catacahi.

Thanks also to Kat Huang from Episode 12 for connecting us to Cata. You’re both Badass!!

In this episode of The Lui Diaz Podcast, you’ll meet Author, speaker, entrepreneur, philanthropist and dad, Thad Cummings who takes us on his journey from achieving success, to having it all fall apart, to then figuring out how to piece himself back together.

Please subscribe to The Lui Diaz Podcast to be the first to know when a new episode drops! :D

In what is a slightly different conversation, Thad and I explore the notions of ‘burning it down’ to build it back up again, a health relationship with self and the necessity of connecting deeper and more authentically within our local communities. Throughout our chat, what really came to admire about Thad are his tenacity, the consistency and longevity in his message and his appreciation for the role humility plays in the human experience.

Prior to our chat I watched Thad’s Ted Talk which, if you haven’t already watched it, I highly recommend and will also add great context prior to listening to our episode.

Shout out to Thad, his daughter and family and great friends! As always we truly hope you enjoy this episode and please leave us your thoughts in the comments!

In this Episode of The Lui Diaz Podcast we chat to Australian adventurer Lucy Barnard, who is attempting to be the first woman in history to walk the length of the earth, and just recently the first woman in history to walk the length of South America.

Please subscribe to The Lui Diaz Podcast to be the first to know when a new episode drops! :D

I first heard about Lucy a little while back when I watched a short documentary about her and Wombat’s adventures as part of the Gutsy Girls Film Tour, so on a personal note, it’s pretty surreal to have had the opportunity to chat with Lucy.

But meeting Lucy, I came to realise that what I considered to be an almighty privilege was something that she was all too happy to do.

Through a life in which Lucy has come to appreciate the power of inclusion and generosity by being on the giving and receiving end of both, it seems fitting that this journey of epic proportions has become one stitched together by countless beautiful micro interactions and the help and generosity of friends and strangers alike.

With that, Lucy’s passion for celebrating the wonderful people and indigenous cultures of South America and their different ways of living has become as vital a part of her motivations as the trek itself.

Join Lucy (Wombat) and I as she brings us up to speed on the journey thus far from the end of the earth in Argentina to Panama City where she was at the time of recording.

And as always we truly hope you enjoy this episode and please leave us your thoughts in the comments!

You can connect with Lucy (and Wombat) on Instagram via @tanglesandtail, Youtube and her website tanglesandtail.com where you can learn more about her incredible journey so far.

I want to start by dedicating this episode to Niclas’ mum, dad and sister, Gitte, Kurt and Maiken. As someone who’s had his ups and downs with connection to immediate family, I can honestly say that I’ve been touched by the way Niclas has expressed his love and appreciation for you all.

The Lui Diaz Podcast is made possible by many sleepless nights. Subscribing won’t change that, but it will put a smile on my tired face :D

Niclas Glud is a photographer, traveller and adventurer from Denmark, who has a special way of capturing breathtaking images from his adventures and telling great stories about the places he visits.

Sure, in this episode you’ll learn about the things and people that make Niclas happy. But you’ll also discover that Niclas Glud is a man with strong family values and a healthy respect for those who’ve helped him carve out his amazing life.

These values are not only very special to connect with him about, but warmly welcome in these times. That given, he never fails to pay homage to his boyhood influences.

Those influences have moulded Nic into no ordinary traveller, but a seeker of experiences that aren’t for the faint-hearted and a lover of sometimes chaotic and divine cultural experiences and human interactions.

Nic is also someone who’s learned how to make the necessary sacrifices to do the things that he wants to do most in life and always consults his moral and ethical compasses while doing so.

The list goes on and on but I’ll stop here and let you enjoy this episode.

As always we truly hope you enjoy this episode and please leave us your thoughts and comments!

You can connect with Niclas on Instagram via @niclasglud and his website niclasglud.com where you can download his ebook on travel photography!
