@Iris Ocariza Apparently 😂 I grew up in apartments but my mom always tried growing stuff. At their house I kinda stopped but I REALLY wanna grow endemic and canoe food plants.

@Iris Ocariza Oh, "canoe plants" is what ethnobotanists call the plants that my ancestors brought to Hawaiʻi. That's like kalo (taro), ulu (breadfruit), uala (sweet potato), uhi (AKA ube, purple yam), and niu (coconut). Canoe food plants was my own concoction 😅

What Was Your First Job? 💼
I love hearing people's first jobs. Usually, it's so far from where they are now. Sometimes it caused a pivot in their life. Sometimes it was the beginning of a new adventure. What was your very first job? Or first few? And here's the real question: What did your first few jobs teach you that you still use today? Mine was at Hollister folding clothes and pretending the dimly lit store wasn't making me nauseous from the cologne. After that, since I was living in Florida, I became a pool boy, which sounds way cooler than it was. Mostly just long days in the Florida heat - skimming, scrubbing, hauling chlorine buckets, and hoping I didn't get another sunburn. (yes, I can get sunburnt lol) I also worked in the actual pool supply store filling up chlorine jugs, and I bleached more pairs of shoes than I can count. Looking back, as unglamorous as they were. I learned more from those jobs than I realized at the time. For me? Mine taught me patience, and attention to detail. How to read people and adjust based on who I'm talking to. And honestly, just to show up and be my best self no matter what the job is. Those early jobs definitely boosted my EQ in ways I didn't realize until years later. Drop your first job below and what it taught you.👇 And let's make this fun; scroll through the comments and find a few people who had the same job as you, or learned something similar, or maybe just a few interesting stories that resonates with you. 🫂

@Iris Ocariza electronics was good but they said I wasn’t doing anything despite having the most sales 🤷‍♂️ Carts was fun because I was outside, moving, and I had enough cashier experience to learn I didn’t like dealing with customers, and even more so supervisors breathing down my neck.

@Iris Ocariza I wasn’t wiping things down and stuff during my down time 🤷‍♂️ that when I learned that people value looking busy instead of actually moving the needle.
The Official BBC 2025 Playlist Starts Now! 🎧
The New Year is approaching! Drop a few songs that defined your 2025! We are now in 60+ countries across 6 continents!!!! 🌏 Imagine a playlist that has everyone's favorite songs from around the world. That's what we're building here. So I wanna hear all of your favorite songs! 🎧 The songs you played on repeat. The songs that get you in the zone. The ones that makes you feel something every time. I've had moments where I was exhausted, ready to quit for the night, then the right song came on and I locked back in for another 3 hours. Music is fuel. Music has gotten me through more than I can explain. Late nights building. Early mornings with Zara. Moments when I didn't know if any of this was going to work. SO LET'S DO SOMETHING FUN 💃🏻🕺🏻💃🏾🕺🏾 1. Drop one song (or a few) that defined your 2025! 2. Drop another song (or a few) that are going to carry you through 2026! Once we get enough songs, I'll build the official BBC 2025 Playlist on Spotify + Apple and share the links with everyone. 🎶 Let's build this playlist together! Drop your song(s) below 👇

@David Iya not off the top of my head, but “At Last” would probably be the easiest to cover on ʻukulele since it’s the least electronic 😂 All Hawaiʻi is actually a sample from an older classic song of the same name. I can play that older version. FYI both versions are very much pro-separatist and sovereignty songs, which I strongly support. Not sure if you want me to get too political here 😅
'Tis The Season. Drop Your Skool. Let's Sharpen Each Other. ⚔️
The holidays have me in a giving mood. And this community has given me a lot of love & energy. So I want to give back. I was reading back through the "What Do You Actually Want?" thread, and one of the top requests was hot seat audits on our upcoming weekly calls. So, let's start practicing now! Drop your Skool link below and get honest, specific feedback. Not generic "looks good!" stuff. Real feedback. What's working. What's not. What I'd change if it were mine. I've been studying what makes Skool communities work. Quite obsessively, honestly. Things like: - About pages that convert vs ones that leak - Content structures that drive engagement vs ghost towns - Welcome sequences that retain vs ones that lose people in 48 hours - Pricing tiers that make sense vs ones that confuse (more coming soon) You've all given so much to this community so I want to take time to review your profiles before this group gets bigger. Not only your Skool community, YOU. Your bio. Your positioning. How you present yourself. You don't need accolades. You need a bio that makes the right people say "this is for me." Here's how this works: 1. Drop your Skool profile link below 2. Share a one-liner about who you are and what you're building Then, review at least 3 other communities in this thread. Be honest: - What do you like about their vision? - What's unclear or could improve? - Would you join? Why or why not? I'll be going through as many as I can and giving personalized thoughts. Let's sharpen each other heading into the new year. Drop your link. Let's grow together. 👇 P.S. There's a lot of exciting updates coming that I've been SO impatient to share. From announcing the billionaire, to going paid, and more! A few of them will be dropping next week. Stay tuned. 🥂

@Justin Robinson Thanks! Yeah I filmed a short intro video but gotta do that again and cut it. I'm also planning a couple videos of me playing with a full band (all recorded by me) fully mixed and mastered, but that's gonna take time. Unfortunately, almost all my live hangouts so far have had 0 people join so I don't quite have any footage of anyone else, yet. Thanks for that reminder, though!

I empower ʻukulele players to play with confidence, without dealing with teachers who don’t care or confusing YouTube videos.
