  • Heroes, Rascals and Duds - Part 2 (Talk Story with John Waihe'e)

    Who's who of Contemporary Hawaii History.  The hosts for this show are John Waihe'e and Colin Moore.  The guests are Richard Borreca and Chuck Freedman.  


    We discuss some of the individuals and characters who helped create (positively or negatively) Contemporary Hawaii. While politics (political action) may be the underling topic of conversation, the people being discussed may be associated with business, labor or the community at large. Of course, each panelist is expected to describe what relationship (if any) the panelist had with the person being discussed. The objective is not only to mention a person but also say why that individual is worthy of mention.

  • This is Spaceship Earth - we Have a Problem (Hawaii: State Of Clean Energy)

    We Need a Plan.  The host for this show is Mitch Ewan.  The guest is Peter Sternlicht.  


    This is the first in a series of discussions about the "Perfect Storm" of climate change, over-reach caused by population and consumption rate of growth and resource depletion at a time when we need more "STUFF" than ever.  This first episode defines the problem - the challenge of an economic system that demands and rewards continuous growth and the lack of public understanding about the relationship between energy and productivity.

    Follow-on episodes will present and discuss solutions.

  • Thoughts Guiding Emotions (Coronavirus and Our Mental Health)

    Escaping Negativity by Thinking.  The host for this show is Ken Burtness.  The guest is Jerry Brennan.  


    Living in a world beset by seemingly insurmountable problems, it is hard not to fall into negativity. People are frustrated, feel cheated: this is not the world they bargained for, worked hard for. They are angry. Every day the news feeds this anger, like gasoline on a fire. Yet events do not cause anger, people's reactions to events cause anger, thoughts cause anger. Yet thoughts can be positive or negative depending on people's perspective. People can choose that perspective. If people's thoughts turn to anger, sadness, fear, grief, they can also turn to hope, inspiration, new ideas, productivity. People always have choices.

  • Values-driven Business with Pixie Post (Adventures in Commercialization)

    How to Perfect the Art of the Pivot.  The host for this show is Xoe Heeney.  The guests are Mikki Draggoo and Sara Semritc.  


    The twists and turns that brought Pixie Post to launch come back to a few simple truths. They love supporting small businesses. They thrive when we make customers happy. And they believe corporate and personal gifting can be elevated and magical.

    For Mikki, it all started with some pixies. Three in fact, which first appeared in a children’s book she wrote called Catch That Cheese. As she transitioned back to Seattle from her 12-year stint in London, leading a brand and employee engagement team at a large company, she decided to pursue her long-time dream of growing her own entrepreneurial venture.

    For Sara, it began when COVID-19 forced her exit from her 10+ year career in procurement at Vulcan. She took her chance to chase her dream of a more creative career tied to her passion of making beautiful gifts and surprises that people love. Her friends leapt at the opportunity and she became busy making, gift boxes, gift boxes, and more gift boxes.

  • Protecting the Waters of the Pacific Monument (Community Matters)

    This Requires our Continuing Attention.  The host for this show is Jay Fidell.  The guest is Rob Richmond.    Indigenous leaders from the Pacific Remote Islands Coalition are writing to President Joe Biden asking him to expand protection of the waters around the Pacific Remote Islands Marine National Monument, specifically around Palmyra and Howland and Baker islands.   The coalition is made up of cultural practitioners, scientists, conservationists, fishers, and community members, working together toward protecting the precious ocean waters of the PRI.  Expansion would continue a bipartisan effort. President George W. Bush established the Pacific Remote Islands Marine National Monument in 2009 around Wake, Baker, Howland, and Jarvis Islands, Johnston and Palmyra Atolls, and Kingman Reef, extending 50 nautical miles around each site for a total 83,000 square miles.  In 2014, President Barack Obama expanded the boundaries around Wake Island, Jarvis Island, and Johnston Atoll to 200 nautical miles, to the edge of the U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone, protecting 495,189 square miles.  This expansion would further what these leaders have started.     The ThinkTech YouTube Playlist for this show is https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQpkwcNJny6mAjbhHpq-LyAm9pcuN3zJ  Please visit our ThinkTech website at https://thinktechhawaii.com and see our Think Tech Advisories at https://thinktechadvisories.blogspot.com.

  • Creativity in Lifespan Learning (The Creative Life)

    Interfacing University and Community.  The host for this show is Darlene Boyd.  The guest is Morgan Appel.  


    Continuing and professional education has experienced a sea of change of sorts in the past two decades and even more so in the past two COVID years. Change requires more creative and flexible approaches to instructional development and delivery. Spurred on by the advent of the no collar economy and the incursion of private concerns into the marketplace, postsecondary institutions have learned an important lesson. If you are reacting, you are already far too late.

    True educational transformation requires that all involved speak a common language, albeit in different dialects. We must illuminate pathways forward for our diverse constituencies, whether leading, following, sometimes walking side by side, but always there.
