Career
In 2015, Dieck co-founded Ecü, a vegan footwear brand made from recycled tire soles. This venture allowed his to begin sharing his vision of sustainability and social entrepreneurship.

In 2019, he gave a lecture at the Tecnológico de Monterrey, where he had previously studied.
During that time, Dieck opted for podcasts, creating his own podcast called Relatos y Reflexiones ("Stories and Reflections") in addition to venturing into TikTok.
