08/13/22 • 53 min
As much as I love recording in Bali, it has it's challenges. It feels that nowhere is safe from the screeching sounds of an angle-grinder, loud motor bike, barking dog, or in this case a generator from a large truck pumping water. Half way into this episode there is some pretty significant background noise. I did my best to 'soften' it in editing, however, I've never been the best audio engineer...however, Augusto's words and messages are clear and easy to understand. An enjoyable episode, filmed and recorded on the roof-top terrace of Mana Restaurant in Uluwatu in Bali, as a 6-8 foot swell unloaded across that mystical stretch of reef. Augusto and I check-in, talk breath-holding, managing stress under duress, his Peruvian roots, free-diving experiences, challenges and hopes for the future.

#163 - Sam and Gary Benchenghib: Seven trillion reasons to clean-up the ocean...one river at a time.
Become a Patron of THT! Click here
This week's guests are environmentalists, entrepreneurs, and founders of the amazing, Bali rivers clean-up initiative; Sungaiwatch. Born in France, raised in Bali and with me live and in-person at Indosole headquarters in Canggu, brothers Sam and Gary Benchenghib go deep into their 13 year environmental conservation journey. Co-hosted by president of Indosole, Mr Kai Paul, its a relaxed chat about the mechanics of trash up-cycling, social enterprising, taking initiative, and much much more. As a side note, it's always fun recording on location in public settings, so there is some background noise from time to time coming from Smoke Bali restaurant and various customers in the store. Adds to the ambience in my opinion...
Enjoy,
Shan
