#27 - Dylan Longbottom: Humble Hellman.
Dylan Longbottom is a professional surfer, craftsman, shaper, business owner, part-time stuntman, and most importantly a loving family man. Dylan has shown what he can do on water over the last three decades. From a stellar junior career to one of the best free surfers in the world, to a standout in the heaviest heaving slabs. Dylan literally has nothing left to prove. His passion and drive to progress the craft of surfboard shaping and design make him one of the most sought after shapers by professional surfers around the world. From fun beach break shortboards to big wave guns and tow boards, Dylan is constantly testing and refining his craft...and surfing every chance he gets. He has just returned from Desert Point in Lombok after a solid late-season swell hit Indonesia and he is currently preparing to travel to Nazare’ in Portugal to get amongst the northern hemisphere winter swells. In this week’s episode, Dylan is with me in his boardroom (AKA his shop in Berawa, Bali) to share his experiences, challenges, and hopes for the future.

#29 - Esther Milanzi (Ubuntu): Radiating bread crumbs
Esther Milanzi (Ubuntu) is a creative writer, educator, traveler, wife to her husband Angelo and someone who radiates bread-crumbs for other creatives. She is the co-founder of the Surat Warrior Writers group in Thailand, she conducts weekly creative writing workshops and writer’s groups here in Bali, she is passionate about building a community of creatives and cultivating alternative ways for people to connect (other than just partying). Esther is currently a superstar educator at the globally recognised Green School, Bali. She is a black South African and half Caucasian American who has spent most of her life in America with her mother and two sisters. Esther was estranged from her biological father who was deported from the USA when she was three years old. The opportunity to visit the birthplace of humanity (Africa) arrived after she finished graduate school from Florida State University with a degree in International Education Development. Esther was then awarded a Fulbright grant to teach leadership and literacy skills at a FET college in Vereeniging, South Africa, an Afrikaans town forty minutes south of Johannesburg. Esther’s traveling experiences (and blogging while doing so), became an unintentional journal of her healing journey, it has helped her to develop a deeper understanding of the post-apartheid racial climate, and it has given her a sense of closure after visiting her father’s gravesite (twenty-three years later). Esther’s travel journey of self-realisation also led her to meeting her paternal family (including a younger brother and sister). It was with this connection that she received, from her cousin, her South African name Ubuntu; meaning humanity. In this week’s episode, Esther is with me to share her experiences, challenges, strength, and hopes for the future.
