What makes a place feel like home? For Diego, it wasn’t where he was born but where he felt most connected—Oaxaca. In this episode, he shares how his Mixtec heritage led him back to his family’s origins, how a chance job offer introduced him to the world of beekeeping, and how working with rural communities shaped his understanding of purpose. Whether you’re interested in cultural identity, unexpected career paths, or the fascinating traditions of Oaxaca, this episode is packed with insights and inspiration.
