    Rob Poleki CEO of Washie

    I had the privilege to talk to Rob Poleki the CEO of Washie. We dive into his story from immigrating to the United States from Aoteroa, playing college football, becoming an elected official and the invention of Washie. This is a one of a kind story that we get to hear and it's a story that you don't hear too much about when it comes to Polynesian's because I don't think they have the opportunity to get told. That is why I created this podcast to give a platform to our Polynesian people. Thank you to all of our listeners who have subscribed to the various podcast platforms. Please drop us an email at cheehoopodcast@gmail.com if you have any ideas or if you just want to reach out.

I also I recently started using Linked in more because I saw Robs post and get his notices. We dive into how using Linked in can be helpful when trying to network and connect with other business minded folks.

    Stephen Henderson Part I

    This episode I talk to the multi talented Stephen Henderson. Stephen is musician, writer and music producer. This episode gets cut off prematurely due to technical mishaps. There will be a part 2 but it will come in the next few months. I feel this second part must be done in person as this first part to me was just to good. In part 1 we talk music, what it means to be Kanaka Maoli and briefly touch on hunting on the islands. I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I did. Stay tuned in the coming months for part 2.  Don't forget to listen, subscribe, rate and review on all platforms.
