This episode is a deep exploration of the Hawaiian culture, environmental responsibility, and the multifaceted meaning of 'aloha'.What We Discuss with Kahanuola Solatorio:Understanding Aloha: Kahanui shares his insight on the Hawaiian concept of 'aloha', explaining its significance beyond being a mere greeting, and rather, a philosophy of life that encompasses respect, love, and mindfulness.Responsible Tourism: The discussion encompasses the importance of researching the places before visiting, and understanding local customs and restrictions. Kahanui encourages visitors to leave no trace, taking back everything they bring during their visits, emphasizing respect for local habitats.Environmental Impact: There is a focus on the interconnection of our actions with the surrounding environment, stressing that our behavior can affect not only the people around us, but also animals, marine life, and future generations.Respecting Sacred Spaces: Kahanui addresses the common tendency of people to explore areas marked as 'kapu' or forbidden.

The Spirit of Aloha: Discovering Its True Meaning and Impact with Kahanuola Solatorio

In this episode I talk about the conversation I had with Jonah Solatorio, the creator of the Instagram account, E Hoʻopili Mai!  With this Instagram account Jonah teaches his followers how to speak in ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi ( Hawaiian).  By providing daily lessons on this social media platform, Jonah hopes to not only perpetuate the language of his kupuna but to also normalize the use of the Hawaiian language.  I learned of the inspiration and motivation that lead to the creation of E Hoʻopili Mai and the impact that Jonah has been able to make not only in Hawaiʻi but around the globe.
