I'm so excited that two of my Beast Friends are my guests on this Podcast to talk about their Olympic Games journey!  

They both were two-time Olympic Athletes who represented the USA --

Olympic Day is June 23.  

So what do they have to say about that?  

Keep your eyes open for Kitoko. Don't let the Food Truck status fool you - they offer some of the most beautiful food you’ll find on Maui. The menu is truly phenomenal!  

My guest, Chef and Owner, Cole Hinueber had his eyes on the prize — to open his own restaurant by the age of 35. Pandemic happened when he hit that number but he didn’t let it stop him, especially after he was furloughed from his job at a famous fine dining restaurant on the island.  Instead, he further pushed the boundaries with his food. He makes them so Kitoko. So beautiful. ✨  

He had been perfecting his craft for many years before he graced us with his style of cuisine here on Maui. He had studied with some of the very best in the industry and found himself in Australia and France for a decade. He’s multilingual, which makes the whole picture extra sexy.   

Feed me beautiful food and whisper sweet nothings I don’t actually comprehend. 💋💕

Do you want them to peek in when you're naked?

Our guest was born and raised on Maui and is the 3rd generation in the family working under the “Naka’s” name.  Grandfather, Katsuji, started Naka’s Draperies & Furnishings in the mid-1950’s and his father continued with Naka’s Carpet and Drapery in the early 80 ’s. Now Bobby Nakamura is continuing the tradition of the Naka’s name.   

You can call him to custom design window coverings so your neighbors don't see you running around naked in your home and disturb the peace.  

Also - Bobby spent $19,000 of his own money to purchase 14,000 N95 face masks to ensure that nurses, police, prison correctional officers and others on the front lines of the coronavirus had extra needed protection during the early months of the pandemic….   

He finds many windows of opportunity to help and get many of us covered. ❤️🌺

Can Self Care make you hungry or horny?  Well, the Creators of To Be Organics probably weren’t thinking that when they started their amazing Indie Beauty Brand.  But with super fresh ingredients that you could eat - local Maui pineapples to brighten your skin, turmeric to keep off skin inflammation, mango for luscious skin, chocolate for glowing complexion… they don't recommended it, but you’d wanna lick these beautifying products. 😋   

With the purest ingredients and mindful process that exhibits their care for their impact on the environment, you’d also feel good inside.   

Not to mention how beautiful you feel with some Self Care… your skin feels good and your spirits are awakened, you’d wanna touch yourself. Or someone else will! 😉  

Self care isn’t simply luxurious. It’s imperative for sustaining a happy, healthy mind and disposition.

Mahalo nui to our guest, Leanne Pletcher from the Maui Visitors & Convention Bureau!

We had a great conversation that I hope you listen to, about the many programs they champion to promote responsible tourism — 

To hana kūpono (do what is right) while visiting the lands and waters of Maui, to mindfully experience the breathtaking beauty of the ‘āina and the welcoming spirit of the kama’āina. 

Because for everyone who comes here, it is our kuleana (responsibility) to mālama (care for) Maui. 

And to remember that: He ali’i ka ‘āina; he kauā me kanaka. “The land is chief; man is its servant”.

Patty Lee is an Actor/Model/On-Air Host who dabbles on everything from Makeup Artistry to Carpentry to Entrepreneurship.

She is a multitalented Star, a BossBabe and all the while maintains a kind, sweet and generous demeanor that will surely make you fall in love with her (if you're not already!).

We discussed the process of Acting, as well as how she is able to sustain her passion (hint* Joy!), how to dodge Imposter Syndrome, her current exciting projects as well as her Dream Role.  And how does she choose community and collaboration over competition?

We were talking some beautiful story with Chef Daniel Lipson, owner of Elite Maui Chef and founder of Pono Soup Kitchen. The gifted Chef creates beautiful Menus for his Private Chef clientele and juggles that with making food for the less fortunate through his nonprofit organization.  What is his game plan on how to keep his passion for work sustainable and how to balance his professional life, community work and his ohana? If he gives the wrong answer, I have a whip with hearts and stars on it. I swear.

Our guest, Angela Yoon is an Illustrator and Graphic Artist who moved her okole from New York to Maui and has since connected with the earth by raising and growing food to consume and keeps her garden blooming to encourage pollinators.

And extra HOT points that she is also a skilled SpearFisherWoman! 🔥🔥🔥
