Ku Project with Daniel Aipa

Today we focus on doing more of what you are afraid. Aipa gives a self-experiment for you to try to overcome a fear or feeling of disconnection and loneliness.

He talks about the importance of embracing your fears and overcoming them. You never really get rid of your fears you just get better and overcoming them.

When you can gain control of your nutrition, you can gain control of your life. Many of us find ourselves wanting to eat healthier but let's be honest, it takes a lot of time in shopping, preparing, and cleaning. A lot.

So when I came across a local business in Kailua, my hometown, who makes eating healthier convenient and tastes amazing I had to hear the story.

The owner and founder of Good Clean Food Hawaii (GCF Hawaii), Janelle Bremer, is helping Hawaii become healthier and stronger by bringing healthy meals straight to you.

Janelle taught me that when you feel passionate about doing something, go for it and do it. You will get criticism and you won't be able to make everyone happy, but that's okay. You still have people behind who believe in you and that's what matters most.

It was awesome sitting down with Janelle and learning about the story behind her success and her approach to living out her passion.

We talk about the 4 Pillars of success that must be in place before you start your way on any goal. The 4 Pillars to Success are:

1. Purpose and Intention

2. Accountability

3. Support System

4. Deadline

If you have these pillars in place, then you are setting yourself up for success.

John Lee Dumas of Entrepreneur on Fire has a great Acronym for FOCUS which is, Follow One Course Until Success. When it comes to becoming the strongest version of yourself, you must FOCUS because strength is contagious. The stronger you become, you empower others around you to be stronger.

I continue my conversation with Daniel Ikaika Ito and dive more into what he is currently working on such as reporting on the current issues of Mauna Kea and the Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT). From there, Ito drops more 'ike on life and the lessons he learned from being a surf coach at Kamehameha Schools Kapalama.

On top of that he answers the question, "If you found yourself back in Ancient Hawaii and were free to choose your profession, what would you choose?

If you mention the name Daniel Ikaika Ito in the journalism, surfing, design, and marketing industry in Hawaii, there's a good chance they either talked stories with him, read a piece of his work, or supported a project he had his hands on.

This week I wrote an article about the Rise of the Kanaka, how The Hero's Journey can help you live Kū.  I thought it would be a great topic for this Single Tasking Aloha Friday.  

If you have been listening through some of the past podcast shows, you've probably heard me mention the Hero's Journey and Joseph Campbell.  Today's show, I wanted to share a story of one of the legends of Hawaii's hero, Maui, and how you can look at your own life as a hero's journey.

Once you can understand that all heroes have the same journey but take a different path, you can your own life and see where you are within your own journey.
