  • Hawaii Tourism Industry Update (Hospitality Hawaii)

    2022 a Year Full of Optimism and Hope.  The host for this show is Jon Conching.  


    Just when it appeared that the world was opening up for travel and that blue skies were literally ahead of us, the ominous appearance of the Omicron variant of Covid-19 has reared its head to say "not so fast."  Since then, a number of countries have reinstated stronger restrictions for inbound travel from specific regions of the world. Others have instituted arrival quarantines and/or multiple testing protocols and the financial markets reacted accordingly. Here in Hawaiʻi, restrictions have eased and at this point, while medical facilities appear to be at the ready, new infections appear to have risen, but now that the State is generally restriction free, it would be a challenge to revert back to stricter protocol. So the visitor industry continues to move forward, visitor arrivals peak, then valley and all are waiting for what the holidays and Q1 of 2022 bring.

    Unleash Your Creativity.  The host for this show is Darlene Boyd.  The guest is Jon Pearson.  


    Artist and writer, Jon Pearson, discusses the joy and  power of creativity in business, art and life. Jon espouses that creativity isn't just a a set of cool techniques. It's YOU the creator. It's your personality, your predilections and your patterns. Creativity is highly personal. Often, what isn't discussed, is what blocks creativity. Blocking occurs not just in a group setting but in your own personal creativity.
    Jon discusses key strategies that enable us to fire our inner critic and rejuvenate our lives.
    What good is your creativity if you don't think to use it? Creativity will save the world.
    Pearson, helps us to better understand that we are far more creative than we think we are. Pearson encourages us to trust the genius of our imagination and let our minds go.
    He believes in structure, rules of the game and creative constrictions. However, the oomph of creativity, the desire for it, the pleasure of it, according to Pearson, is elemental.

  • Making the Case for the Initial Viable Product (Community Matters)

    A Business Analysis by Aaron Solmon.  The host for this show is Jay Fidell.  The guest is Aron Solomon.  


    Many start-ups struggle with whether the Minimum Viable Product (MVP) they're launching is too minimum and would therefore be non-viable. According to Aron Solomon, legal analyst, entrepreneur, start-up founder and investor, "The notion of MVP has always had its pros and cons, but the often bitter cocktail of time pressure, competition, and agile software development made the MVP the ongoing easy choice."

    However, Solomon has recently introduced the concept of the Initial Viable Product (IVP) to the founders he works with, which has resonated with most. Solomon explains, "the IVP isn't just a hyper-iterated MVP. It's the first truly viable product you choose to launch. You're going to be judged on the first thing you launch - everyone is.  Incessant explaining that it's just your MVP and it's not really ready yet is sometimes fine, and I've seen many, many other times where that's the dealbreaker in itself. Why? Because your idea of minimal is far more minimal than that of the person you're showing it to. Minimal is a sliding scale that will always slide onto you."

    Solomon explains the concept of IVP and how using this model can be beneficial to start-ups, help legally protect ideas and refine product development.
