The seeker of opportunities

“Find your strengths and understand how you can maximize them. Take time to learn them and don’t solemnly focus on the challenges you face.”

On this week’s episode, it is the crew’s turn to virtually meet in Montreal as Lazylegz makes his way to the hot seat. Interviewed by Kujo, Perninha, Krops and Redo, Lazylegz has the opportunity to answer questions on topics such as family, his ‘ILL-ability’ (arthrogryposis), challenges he has faced, funny moments and much more. Armed with his father’s charisma and his mother’s strength, Luca will dive into conversations with the crew about life growing up, midnight swims that may have gotten him into trouble and where his interest in dancing and bboying came to life. There were some slips, some falls and pink brief rituals along the way, but his friends and ILL-Abilities family were always there to encourage him and inspire him to make big moves and seek new opportunities. Luca will also discuss family life revolving around his European parents in the early 70’s, as well as his wife Melissa and their two daughters Aura Isabella and Luna Valentina. Luca will also share future plans for himself and the crew and answer some frequently asked questions. The crew conclude this podcast episode by sharing their deep appreciation for one another and some musical throwbacks.

The NO EXCUSES, NO LIMITS! Motto

“Just try” - Finding a way in your own way.

On this week’s episode, Luca joins Perninha, Kujo and Samuka to have a special discussion about their personal NENL moments. From battle wounds, to on and off stage bodily sacrifices and half kilometer long distance walks in the burning sun, the boys of the crew have faced multiple experiences in which they needed to apply their own motto “No excuses, No Limits”, and in some occasions, before its’ even existence. During this podcast, the crew will discuss personal experiences with people who have discouraged them in things they wanted to pursue, due to their differences and the ways they approached their dance style. Luckily, the crew pushed through the pressures of fitting in, and had the mindset that it doesn’t matter which way they do something, at the end of the day, it’s the fact that they have tried and have not let people discourage them from doing the things they enjoyed. Despite having some bad days, the crew would like for people to keep in mind that in any situations that they may face, to remember that “This is your moment”, “Start today, and things will keep advancing”, and that there really are “No excuses, No limits”.

“No excuses, No Limits” and No Regrets

On this week’s podcast, Luca is joined by Samuka and Kujo somewhere in the virtual world. Throughout this podcast, the trio discuss the concept that “everything happens for a reason” and that the opportunities to experience and learn are endless. From “oops” mistakes in Singapore, to deep and personal life lessons, and decisions that led to good or bad, these experiences have paved a way towards their growth, maturity and actions. These mistakes or learning opportunities, will be explored within this podcast along with each member’s personal insight in retrospect. The trio will also discuss the idea that “things that are perceived as mistakes by some, can be perceived as opportunities by others” and that sometimes, trying new things (especially during a worldwide pandemic) can be a great learning experience that will benefit our short but incredible, human experience and will help us learn more about ourselves.
