What does it mean to be truely free?
In todays podcast we meet Kyan, a film director and musician, who made a film called "The Last Free Man on Earth," about Alex. A man who has lived in a cave for the past 9 years in Punta Galera.
In search of enlightenment, the platinum-selling record producer left his hedonistic life behind and through the best part of a decade he has learned to live life in a much more rustic fashion in the thick of things down south.
Kyan got stuck in Ibiza in lockdown and decided to stay a little longer and make his very first film after meeting Alex, taking almost 2 years to study and shoot his new friend over many sessions.
The film recently debuted at the Ibiza Cine Fest in santa Eulalia and Jo goes to meet Kyan after watching it at his studio in Cala Llonga for todays conversation. -

Last year I got to meet Manu San Felix - Oceanographer and videographer for National Geographic.
Manu campaigns heavily for the one thing that may just save our climate in the Balearics - The Posidonia.
Our huge acres of sea grass provide a carbon sink which sucks the nasties out of our atmosphere and absorb and hold them.
Protecting them is of paramount importance as you heard in our EP with ambient musician @coco_francavilla. They are the answer to so many issues we face as an island that depends heavily on tourism and Manu runs @vellmari_formentera and every year they replant the beds and try to restore them where possible.
In this weeks episode we talk about that process, why we have to educate people to respect the ancient sea beds that are unique to ours seas and we hear much of his incredible storytelling on expeditions that he has been on for National Geographic as an ambassador for @natgeopristineseas and how he became a marine biologist and fell in love with our islands.

How do you feel about your voice?
Are you able to speak up and be heard in groups?
Do you freak out if you have a work presentation or at Uni ?
Have you had to go on stage and perform a talk, a song or some kind of performance that came into your life?
Do you hate the sound of your voice when you listen back?
I have come to understand this is due to cognitive dissonance. The way we hear our voice back is different to how it is when we speak to others.
Our voice travels in a different way when we hear it back. But communication is a huge gift that we are able to express through our one and only human instrument.
And? As it happens, communicating well, is a massive skill.
It is not something we a gifted when we form the words on our lips.
It tales time, patience and a LOT of practice.
If this is something you wish to work on, in todays Episode we hear from those who came on the event last year over three days and their letters they wrote to their voice.
We also hear from our keynote speaker, Sister Bliss of faithless.
In two weeks time she joins us on edition NO.2 of the Women´s Voice Activation here in Ibiza. Details here: VOICE RETREAT 14 AND 15TH OCTOBER IN IBIZA -
In todays episode we meet Colombian Lithuanian Jurgis Didžiulis who as you are about to find out is more than a musician.
He is a professional speaker and an inspirational educator with degrees in Political Science and Business Administration so he is good at talking, being able to read the crowd and sharing his craft which he says he has honed down to one word, being a troubadour.
But, he is way more than just one word and His unique ability to present ideas and shift perspectives through sonic illustration and musical co-creation activates, elevates and educates in ways that words alone cannot.
So we will end it here, but suffice to say his third summer in ibiza has been “eventful” and he is loving being the man to fly the flag of regenerative music for Juntos Farm and to create what he feels is an inclusive community sound and he tells us all
About the EP he is working on for a new release.

Are you a woman looking to hone the sound of your voice and become more familiar? Maybe you have a big work presentation coming up, a TEDx talk or fancy your hand at stand up?

The Human library Returns to The House of Wow Ibiza and this time we were talking tech.
After the emergence of the islands very first Ibiza Tech Forum in April, we debated whether Ibiza could become a real tech hub for start ups, investors and developers?
We questioned what is holding the island back from achieving its dreams to reset the narrative of what it is known for and what is needed to attract more a more tech focussed entrepreneurial crowd and tech creatives in the scene.
Tech Forum founder Jesse Krieg Mora grew up on the island and also runs his own start up Admefy which is a simple media content manager. He explained in depth about the government funding available, tax loops holes for start ups and the moment he noticed the tech scene start to thrive on ibiza.
Jess Ramon Brown also grew up on ibiza and runs Green tech start up Enverse Labs.
He now lives in Madrid and say community there is huge for start ups and Ibiza is still a little short on talent and network for him to stay here full time.
Swiss-born impact entrepreneur, Alessa Berg also joined our panel after very recently moving to ibiza. Her thought leadership sits at the intersection of positive impact and emerging technologies.
She is the founder and CEO of Top Tier Impact (TTI) and is involved in the global ecosystem of impact investors, entrepreneurs, professionals and public figures across more than 45 countries.
TTI’s investment unit facilitates investments into growth-stage impact tech companies across emerging markets, such as the $100m debt investment into Wave Mobile Money.
