Hanging with Humans Podcast | Episode 5 | Marcos Diaz

Episode 5: "From the cradle to the grave"
Helena, MT
Marcos Diaz, 33

In this episode, I sat down and talked with a really good friend of mine Marcos Diaz. (In my living room)
We grew up together in the same place, and yet our lives went in very different directions.

We talked extensively about what it’s like growing up in the 209.
Marcos is a hustler in every sense of the word. If there’s one thing I can tell you about this human, he has a insane work ethic and upholds the meaning of Loyalty to the highest degree. Marcos has lived a crazy life, and has been in some situations that are hard to fathom. His story starts out with having his first child at fifteen, and then you just have to listen to the to the rest grasp it.

There aren’t a whole lot of options for humans coming out of that place.
My road was the military, that’s what got me out. Marcos had sports, but taking on real life adult responsibilities at a young age changed that path for him. I hope you guys can take something away from Marco’s story.

By the way, I’ve seen Marcos like twice since I moved from Cali. (2010)

It has been years since we talked, and when I asked him if he would come down, catch up, and do a podcast if he was passing through.
He replied “hell mf yea” and drove 8 hours out of his way to do that for me.

People make sacrifices for the ones they care about, I believe he did it because in his heart he knows I would do the same without batting an eye.

This is the first podcast done with somebody that I grew up with from back home. (can you spot any similarities)
Very thankful to sit down with my brother.
Smoking blunts and choppin' it up, like the good old days.
For those who didn’t know me, or were not a part of my life back then.
Here’s a little bit of insight as to what life was like for me growing up.

Marcos wanted to shout out his homie Young Iggz from the 209.

Turns out this music video was filmed like around the corner from my house growing up lol.
Check it out for a visual reference to where I spent the first like 20 years of my life.
