    #120 | Da Boyz 2 | Team Avatar

    Water. Earth. Fire. Air. Long ago, these four braddahs lived apart on different islands. Then, everything changed when they came to O'ahu! Only the Keep it Aloha podcast, master of aloha, could bring them together...2 years passed and Kamaka and Jordan discovered the rest of team Avatar, an airbender named Sam Potter and an earthbender named Nainoa Langer. And although their accolades are great, they have a lot to learn before they are ready to inspire anyone. But we believe their aloha can save the world. Team avatar joins the Keep it Aloha podcast catch up and talk about the projects everyone has been working on in their lives, the Avatar the Last Airbender TV show, Sam and Nainoa’s new film and side projects, play Avatar trivia, Moke Gabs, and so much more.
