Part of this World with Scott Nishimoto

Throughout his career, Scott Nishimoto has served as an advocate for equity and peace-building in Honolulu. He shares an array of stories about how his parents, partner and children have influenced his perception of aloha and valuing every person's experience when it comes to embracing the human condition. In his early days as a nonprofit executive, he met Pono Shim and that initial encounter led to years of friendship and growing to understand the power of storytelling. This podcast title, "Part of this World," is inspired by a movie song (you may know it!) that Pono shared with Scott. Enjoy Scott's powerful and humorous narrative. Mahalo!

Make the Connection and the Story Will Follow with Jason Mejia

In this episode, we are fortunate to spend time talking story with Jason Mejia who serves as a Fire Captain with the Honolulu Fire Department. As he approaches his retirement this month, he reflects on his 27 years as a civil servant and his efforts to strive to be a conduit of aloha. Most recently, he was able to fulfill a goal of helping the Honolulu Fire Department establish "E Ohana Hou" as the foundation of the department's most recent strategic plan. As many listeners know, "E Ohana Hou" is one of Pono Shim's lessons of bringing your gifts to the world, unleashing them in perpetuity to contribute to the collective well-being of all. One of Jason's favorite lessons from Pono is: "Make the connection and the story will follow." We hope you find this to be a reflective and meaningful conversation. Mahalo!

Live Aloha with Rachel Alm

Live Aloha. Living in Hawaii, many of us recognize the white bumper stickers with the ohia flower and have undoubtedly heard the "live aloha" phrase over the years. What is the backstory of this initiative and what does live aloha really mean? In this episode, we talk story with Rachel Alm to learn about the interesting behind-the-scenes details of the Live Aloha initiative which was established in 1993. As a child, Rachel was positively influenced by her parents, Robert and Cynthia Alm, as well as her father's friend, our dear Pono Shim. She recounts many Zippy's meals as a middle schooler, where she spent memorable time with him learning about aloha through his mentorship, years before he launched his first Aloha Response cohort. Rachel's awareness and personal aloha practice are a powerful embodiment of how to bring aloha into our everyday interactions with others and the greater community. Now as a young professional, she continues to contribute to the wellbeing of Hawaii - and beyond - from her home in Bend, Oregon.

Hawaii Will Always Be Home with Cindi Heffner

We welcome Cindi Heffner to this episode of "Above the Sides" in our first recording outside of Hawaiʻi. Cindi is the Kumu Hula of Haʻaheo O Hawaiʻi, a hula hālau based in Albuquerque, New Mexico where she has lived for many years. Cindi shares how she has maintained her spirit of aloha in all the places she has traveled to throughout her life and how her ʻohana, and many of our kama'āina (children of the land), have found home in new places as part of the Hawaiian diaspora. 2020 Census data indicated that more than half of all Native Hawaiians, roughly 370,000 people, now live in the continental U.S. This highlights a growing economic trend due to the high cost of living and housing and job opportunity limitations. Our discussion centers around how aloha can live beyond Hawaiʻi through its people - and that home can also be in your heart. We hope that you find Cindi's story compelling and uplifting. “In the 21st century, the world will search for peace and they’ll look to Hawaii because Hawaii has the key and that key is Aloha.” - Pilahi Paki

Seeking and giving spiritual solace amid the Maui wildfires, with Church News reporter Mary Richards

In August 2023, a series of wildfires broke out and spread devastation on the Hawaiian island of Maui. Property and lives were lost, including five members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Church members and others in the community rallied to support each other and begin the long process of recovering from the disaster.

Church News reporter Mary Richards traveled to the island shortly after the disaster, documenting the post-fire relief efforts and observing the strength of the Hawaiian people as they both sought and gave solace in the wounded community. In this special edition of the Church News podcast, she shares their stories of survival and spiritual fortitude, the Church’s Humanitarian response and the faith that can be found in the beauty of the ashes.

The Church News Podcast is a weekly podcast that invites listeners to make a journey of connection with members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints across the globe. Host Sarah Jane Weaver, reporter and editor for The Church News for a quarter-century, shares a unique view of the stories, events, and most important people who form this international faith.

How to Rally and Do Something in honor of MAUI STRONG, Episode 76

From the devastating tragedy of the fires in Maui comes clarity of what really is most important and most valuable in life.

S1E1: Finding Aloha: The Power of Giving Back in Hawaii with Ryno Irwin

On this episode of The Aloha Thumbprint, Duckie talks about her journey with husband and follow business partner Ryno Irwin. They dive deep about aloha and their work in the Makaha community and discuss how they started MLC and the challenges that came with it.
