Hanging Out with Nolan Hong

Coach Rolo is head coach for the UH Warriors! We talk about player codenames, his career as a player and how getting benched affected him, what it’s like to be a head coach, mentoring and motivating kids, and we get deep into pizza. It’s awesome.

Steph (Ep 3) is back! We talk about getting back into performing and reprising her role as Isabel MacGregor in “The Princess and the Iso Peanut”, how that led to her becoming a coach at Egan’s Bootcamp, and her health coach aspirations.

Jessie could be Nolan’s twin. We talk about all the things they both love: NBA, hip hop, professional wrestling and sandwiches. Something happened during the interview that messed with Nolan’s head, stay tuned for What’s Poppin’ at the end for all that…

Saxon is an actor and entrepreneur. We talk about bombing his first audition, shooting a Chinese action movie in Mexico, doing his mission in Japan, bringing kendama to the mass market in Hawaii, and he and Nolan share their experiences with anxiety.

Chris was head of Columbia/TriStar and is the founder of UH’s Academy for Creative Media. We talk about his journey from making Super 8 movies with homemade explosions to surviving on free sauerkraut, to working on Jerry Maguire and his vision for Hawaii.

This is our favorite relationship talk ever. We get into rage naps, what to do when your partner is upset, and they share an amazing story about an epic fight on their around-the-world trip. Check out Annie & Curtis at Mango Season Music & Weddings!

Crystal is a realtor and dance instructor, and former Miss Hawaii 2013. We talk about her pageant experience including being Miss Chinatown, working for Pepsi, meeting her husband on a blind date, and teaching dance in the age of Fortnite.
