To me, Iako Kalili lives the best part of the rock star life. He sees all the shows, goes on tour, attends all the parties and events, but doesn’t have to deal with half the drama — that’s the perk of being head of security for the band Five Finger Death Punch. 

But Iako hasn’t always lived like a rock star. He grew up in Hawai’i, where his parents were prominent influencers in the hula community, yet behind the scenes, he watched many of his family members’ failures for years. At 17, he joined the national guard, and after high school he joined the U.S. Army. Now a 21-year Army veteran, MMA expert, and security guard for the big-names, Iako is teaching his kids about the value of working for everything they get.

Today, I sat down with Iako and asked him all about the road to his personal success. We talk about how manners, respect, and empathy go a long way in understanding other peoples’ missions in life. We also talk about breaking patterns of laziness, and how to make sure our kids find success without having to struggle through life to find it. And as always, MMA (and armor fighting?) is a hot topic in this episode.
