And for the majority of this year I've been working on a project that combines all of those things into one research project. So we've been doing some research for the Royal College of Arts and they've been looking at future makespaces in redistributed manufacturing ond they're kind of interested in working out what the fab labs, maker spaces, hack spaces, all the kind of maker movement can be doing, and I've actually been heckled by a chair, had some new one. And basically, they're kind of looking at all the maker movement stuff, and things like that. Goldblig.

Oeddi wneud y trefio newydd Mae'r bach bach nid yn llwylo fydd. O'r ffordd, we've been looking at the local supply chains as an area that they were interested in exploring. So we've been doing some research to tease at some of this issue. This is all just the blurb off the Indian Manufacturing website, so you don't necessarily need to read all of it. The key things, I think the two imaginary quotes, I don't know if anybody's actually said that part from me in trying to explain what the project is to people. Ond ydy'r penderfyniad sy'n gyda i mi a Andy Goodwin, sy'n gweithio'r wrth yma, ond rydyn ni'n gweithio'r project. Rydyn ni'n ymgyrch i'r ystyried o'r ffnod gyda'r penderfyniad.

Felly, dwi'n galwhau mewn cyfletwch? Roedd y c律 yn y meddwl? Wedyn ychydig y gallwch yn gweithio...  Dwi'n ymddangos ein bod y ddarparwch yn amlwg i'r thaach o bryd, mae'n cymdeithasion oedd o'r llwysau, If you're, you know, injection molding plastic, that's just expensive to do, like initially there's a big up front cost of like five grand, ten grand, something like that to do all your tooling, and then after that everything's really cheap, but if you're only making like five hundred of something or a thousand of something, that's suddenly, you know, five or ten quid on your bill of materials, just for the bit of metal that you're going to use to squirt plastic into. So, like, can we look at different processes, different materials that might be available more locally, that might be expertise in more locally, that will maybe let you do different ways of approaching stuff, so you can do sort of medium scale manufacturing. So, why am I doing this? You know, why is it an important thing to do? One of the things that I did, or I do, is help run a makespace in Liverpool that I co-founded called Does Liverpool, and from there we're kind of trying to let people do things differently, you know, it's providing that space to enable people to kind of run at stuff, the kind of standard way of accelerates and incubates and all that kind of thing don't allow, let people just bootstrap things more easily, and you can know, you can kind of make one of pretty much anything with the tools that we have, and you can maybe make tens of things, and we do have people who've kind of got into the maybe hundreds of things, but by then that's lots of work and you tend to want to get somebody else to do it when you get to that sort of point, because it's, you know, it's a bit tedious, you don't necessarily have the tools lined up to do that kind of production run. And I really like this quote from Eliol Saran and about thinking, about sort of everything in its context bigger and stuff, and so, you know, one of the things we do when thinking, you think about a person within a makerspace, within a makerspace, within a community, in a community, within a region, and so on and so forth, and it's just thinking about what's that stuff that's kind of around the makerspace that will let us do more interesting things and, you know, tap into that kind of, you know, the community, the manufacturers. All that kind of stuff. And then the other thing is, you know, it's a very, very nice tweet from one of the guys who works out of does and is doing really interesting kind of open source water, like remote operated autonomous vehicles and sensing platforms. But the problem with that is that I don't scale. There's only me, and it's nice to, you know, there's a lot of knowledge in the makerspace when you want to make something that you kind of go, oh right, well we want to get, we want to get a load of cardboard cut, and you can do a little bit on a laser cutter, but you're not going to do hundreds of boxes. And so that's like, well, okay, yeah, you need to talk to Ross and Patrick, because they got cardboard boxes died cut down on the dock road. And that kind of knowledge is in the makerspace and in the community, but you need to know who's worked on which projects so you can go and talk to them about it. And if they leave, you know, if they move away, then that kind of knowledge is lost. So some of it's trying to work out how we can improve the bus ratio of like, you know, what happens if I fall under a bus? All that knowledge gets sort of disappears. It would be nice to try and capture some of that. It won't be as good as going and chatting to the people who've done it. So they're still always going to be the better kind of source of information, because it'll give you, you can have a conversation with them about what they did, how they found this kind of manufacturing stuff. But if nothing else, yeah, it means that we're not going to completely lose it. And we start to build up that kind of knowledge base. So what do we do? Well, we interviewed a load of makers, quite a few of whom are doing open hardware. And so that was just kind of working out, finding out what kind of things people were running up against, the problems they were hitting, approaches they were taking to kind of solving these problems. And we kind of published them on the website. We did a load of mapping, so we were kind of like, OK, are there loads of companies around that we don't know about that we need to just go and find? So there was lots of visiting industrial states and wandering around industrial states kind of, yeah, taking photos of little companies trying to work out what companies did, going and doing research about them. And then we were pushing all that data into OpenStreetMap because we thought that would be a good repository.  Where do you put stuff to do with mapping? All right, yeah, there's an open source kind of movement for that. It's kind of OpenStreetMap. So we can go and start tagging things in there. And some of the suppliers and factories and so on and so forth are already in there. And so we were just adding some new tags to start to kind of record things like, OK, this is a place that does CNC machining of metal. This is an injection molding factory. This is a leather satchel manufacturer. All those sorts of things trying to kind of capture and have that as a place to kind of store some of this knowledge. And we also got a hands dirty. So we kind of figured that we can go and do all this stuff, talk to people and go round a map and try and find these manufacturers and talk to them. But often what we found in the past is that you talk to people like there's an electronics manufacturer in Liverpool and you kind of run into them at meetups and stuff. And they say like, oh yeah, we do PCB assembly and making products and stuff and we're just in speak down the road. If you're doing like hardware, you should come and chat to us because maybe we can make the stuff for you. And that's cool and you kind of think, oh great, there's some guys just down the road and that'd be good. I can support this local company. And then you go and chat to them and it turns out that whilst they can do this sort of stuff, you need to hit a certain sort of level of manufacturing before it's worth their while to talk to you. I mean it's not that the bad guys are disinterested in this stuff, it's just they've got a production line set up already that's making things to connect old bits of industrial machinery with serial ports to the internet. And tearing all that down to start making your stuff takes them some time so it's only worth them doing it if you're going to get like a thousand units made or something. So if you turn up going like, I want a hundred boards, they're like oh actually you know how we said that we really like and we can do this sort of thing. Yeah we could but yeah it's too expensive, it's not really worth anybody's while to do that. So the best way we thought to solve some of that which also had a nice side effect of letting me do a load of product development for my company was that we should make an actual product. Like make a few hundred of something because that would help flush out some of these issues and show you know see what was really the kind of the problems that we'd hit and what things that we wouldn't realise until we were trying to do it and things like that. And the RCA were really keen on this being action research apparently is what that's called where you don't just write bits of paper and stuff you get out and do stuff. So what did we learn? Like so this started basically at the start of the year it should have started a little bit earlier than that but yeah it was kind of January when we really got things going on it. It was a six month project although I think it was actually the end of July that it's officially finished and yeah what did we learn? Mapping is really hard. Persuading people to put stuff into OpenStreetMap is quite tricky loads of people know one or two places that you're challenging them about and they're like oh yeah there's those guys there's this little firm on the dot road and they make this amazing stuff and nobody knows that they're there and they're really cool and we use them for this. And so people are happy to share their knowledge but when it then becomes like yeah okay you just need an OpenStreetMap account and you just need to sign in here and it is really easy once you've done it once but there are just a number of little steps and getting over those little steps to actually do stuff is difficult to get people to do. There are lots of industrial states and it takes a long time to go around all of them. We were trying to work out at one point whether we should have some kind of testosterone rating for each supplier that we found as like how manly you had to feel before you felt safe going over the door. This is an actual photo from one of the industrial states that Andy visited and it's not the most welcoming of places and there's loads of knowledge within there that it's hard to work out whether it's like am I allowed in here. Are these people open to being approached by the public. Do you need to have been working in the industry for 20 years before they'll even have a conversation with you about it. And yeah this sort of stuff yeah it's tricky and working out where the people are is difficult to do. I mean we were looking at sick codes which seems to be how anybody doing any kind of research into industry stuff and how the government tracks all these sorts of things.   I'll search through this big list of loads of random industries and pick two that kind of look like they might be the sort of thing I do and I don't know what happens if I get them wrong and I don't know if anyone's going to check and you know and then what I picked in 2005. And I've each year I go and do my company's house annual return and I go yeah yeah everything's fine I haven't changed anything yeah yeah that's all good. Here have 15 grid right that's that job done with when I think I'm supposed to kind of go oh actually in 2005 I was just doing software and now I do hardware as well and bits of you know is there a sick code for 3D printing. Who knows I haven't gone and looked at them since then so that even for my company that date is horribly out of date. But there isn't anything better so like policy and stuff like that keeps getting built around information that's coming from sick codes that like the people doing it know that this is useless but it's kind of like this is as good as we've got so we're going to just use this. And I think we worked out that going around industrial states and just looking at stuff is like there's some value in that but you don't really learn very much about what the company's like. And there's a lot more effort to go into to kind of properly find out what the company's like some people are doing this sort of thing. There's a really good website called Make Works that Fee Scots has been running for a couple of years now and she's been doing this sort of thing but around all of Scotland. But also doing videos with the manufacturers and like it's an amazing website loads of really good useful information in it but it's also like more than a full time job for her. And we knew that was going to be the case going into this and we're like well there isn't enough funding and neither of us want a full time job going around looking fun to go around industrial states a bit. And it would be nice to have the time to do all the interviews with really cool manufacturers but I also want to have a maker space to help run and a company to actually earn a living from and I want to make product. So we weren't going to do that and so ours is kind of you know it was always going to be a bit more superficial and it was working out that actually there's value in working out there's a company on such and such an industrial state that does X. But that doesn't tell you very much and so what would have been better with hindsight would have been to spend more time trying to kind of find ways to make it easier to get the information out of the community. Because like I used so and so is just leagues ahead of there is a company there that does that because it's like OK you've got some experience you know whether they're any good or not. If you've told me that I should go and talk to them then they're worth going and talking to. And you know actually the software side of mapping is a bit tricky and we've already talked about getting data into open street map but getting data out of open street map isn't quite there yet. So this is a snapshot of the map that's on the India manufacturing website now and most of the stuff is around Liverpool because that's where we're based and it's easier to go and look at industrial states on your doorstep. And we found loads of companies but getting that data out of open street map. There are some really nice tools like overpass turbo and you map which can you can kind of combine to get live data out of street map. But they're just not they don't have the performance yet. So I spent a reasonable time playing around with that before ending up caching the data. So I kind of query overpass turbo every half hour or so to get. So this is kind of nearly live data from open street map. And just you know there be a few things that would make it. It would be really nice for the open street community I guess in general to find the time to make these tools just that little bit better. They're almost there. You can almost do some really nice stuff where you just going to hook this slippy slippy map up to overpass turbo and then it will just pull in live data filtering it on these tags and then display different sets of data for these are the different ways. We had different tags as to whether stuff was a factory or a machine shop which we were kind of thinking that's places to laser cutting the CNC machining places that will do a service where they'll take a bit of material and turn it into something for you. And factories are kind of things that produce finished goods and then make spaces and fab labs and then the trade counters one isn't visible on the map at the moment because that is a massive data set because that includes all the kind of. Little trade counters so screw fix and places like that and place where you can go and buy nuts and bolts and things and there are just loads of those in open street map already. And so turning that layer on requires a huge amount of data which I couldn't cash easily and so it pulls it from overpass turbo but it's a little bit slow. So there are some issues around that but hopefully it's getting better and there's scope to make it even better still. So does the UK not make anything anymore? That's not true at all. The UK makes loads of stuff.   Finding things like oh yeah there's a company that makes loads of leather satchels in Heighton and they're just around and they're really cool. A making things takes a long time so the product that we're making is this internet connected bell and yeah like six months was always going to be pushing it to do like full on hardware product and surprise surprise it's not finished yet but it's almost there. And actually there's some truth in the UK doesn't make anything anymore like the kind of low cost components and sort of parts of things like we don't make that much we're finding this sort of stuff. Remember like the ESP8266 module that's inside the bell like that comes from China because there isn't anywhere in the UK that will make you a thing that's got a processor and Wi-Fi for like $2.00. In units of one and I remember I was CTO of Goodnight lamp a couple of years ago and we were looking at Wi-Fi at that point and we were struggling to find any work even in China that would get Wi-Fi modules for less than 12 quid and now it's like China's gone. Oh internet of things you want like a processor some memory and Wi-Fi and like not very much money. Yeah so we can sort that yeah have these things so that sort of stuff you end up getting from China bells it turns out the only places in the UK make really top quality bells that are really expensive because they're for like musical instruments and churches and things. And it's seen it turns out that India is kind of where bells are made like on Alibaba almost all the suppliers for bells are in India and Alibaba is kind of an interesting one going through that sort of thing. It hooks you in really easily because you can do search kind of you know and just start looking for stuff. But then there's actually a bunch of back and forth with the suppliers and emails and things and it's not as easy as it is by itself on eBay is but still it's amazing to be able to just go I've been with a web browser and some emails and I've gone and taken you know the I've swung massive supply chains into action just from my computer is amazing. But at the same time once you start to customize stuff and get more into this lots of value and be able to go talk to somebody and find out things from them. You know a map is just the start like you do mapping and it's like actually that just gives you the first place to go. I mean the best ways to go and find out how to make something in the UK is that pick the pick the supply that you think is nearest to what you might want to do and go and visit them. And they'll probably kind of go oh yeah we don't really do that but what you need we haven't got the right kind of bed for that and you need to go and talk to these guys and they'll point you at somebody else.  We bounce round a few different CNC wood places to then end up with one that can probably do what I need to do to CNC the wood for the frame. And you find loads of stuff out there but not it's not about the kit particularly it's about knowing the exact bits of it and you get that kind of information from people. Just going and talking to them. And you know all the support organisations they similarly don't have a clue everyone kind of thinks other council will know who all these people are and stuff or the local enterprise partnership. And yeah we know we work quite closely with them with the makerspace and actually they don't know they're using sick codes and they know that they're a bit rubbish and they don't actually have a list of all the suppliers in the UK. The manufacturing bit of the local enterprise partnership doesn't know how many manufacturing companies there are in Merseyside. And they want to help but they can't it's like really they don't really know how to and they don't know how to talk to people like us. And similarly we don't really know how to talk to them and work out what we want so that's difficult. And I thought open source hardware kind of would love a nice picture of Steve Palmer but you know people people people rather than developers developers developers. It's all about the people. It's about relationships that you're building with your suppliers and finding out stuff and you just need to find the right people and then you'll get loads more information and they'll push you loads further forwards with stuff. So what else are we doing with this? One are we finishing the product? Although the project is over I still want to ship product. That's partly what got me into yeah that's what we've been doing for the past few years is slowly kind of working my way towards this sort of thing. So in the next few months he says there'll be bells on sale go to that website if you want to sign up to find out when that happens. I've got some cards and things as well about both the project and the bell. If anybody wants one to take away. And improving the map like we've got this data set now and there's still loads more could be added to it and it's still it's quite localized to around Liverpool. It would be great to make it much bigger and much further across. It would be nice to find the time or to work with people to improve the open street map tools that there's loads of demand for things like this. There are loads of organizations doing kind of bits of mapping of stuff and they want to be able to having it where it's like well you just push the data into open street map and then there are these ways that you can easily pull it out and display it to people. Would be really really good and would really help kind of open street map or the organizations that are doing stuff help people find things just generally that would make the world a lot better. So it'd be really nice to work a bit more on some of those and I'm going to be trying chipping away at bits of that myself. And maybe finding a better home for the map at the moment it's on the Indie manufacturing website. But that's going to kind of become a bit of a I suppose a kind of an archive of what we did with the project and so there'll be some more interviews we still need to publish. There are a few more blog posts that I want to write about some of the stuff that we found out to kind of improve that but then after that that's going to be fairly static. And so actually particularly for the kind of map of the supply chain across the north because everything gets made in the UK really. Then maybe the UK Maker Belt Association website is a good place for that to kind of cover the strand across from Liverpool over to Hull. I'm not sure how far up it goes. I think when we asked Aaron it seemed to encompass large amounts of the north and get bigger each time almost. But maybe that's a good place for it to live so we can all start to share kind of what we're finding and make it easier for all of us to go through this kind of like oh yeah I've had this crazy idea and people seem to like it and now I need to get some stuff made and I'm trying to work out whether some of that will be locally. Some of it won't be but at least if I know where the local stuff is I can go and make it informed decision rather than just kind of oh yeah I read an article on Hackaday which points everybody at Shenzhen or something. And just in general you know everyone should be doing more making and then more manufacturing of things that they're making like I want more people like me that I can go and ask about stuff. And you know and feel free to ping me and talk to me and ask questions about things and then yeah more sharing about what we find how we're going to do stuff and then you know profit presumably. I need the underpants slide at the end and I thank you very much.


Rohit, a nice win with the black pieces against Leandra today seemed quite sharp from the very beginning. How did the opening go for you? Yeah, actually my opponent is playing very solid in this Gaplet Nimzo Indian and Queen C2 line and is very solid and in this tournament particularly is even more solid He drew against Fabian Topolo and he's unbeaten so far So I thought I'll go for some kind of short plans Provoke him to do some complicated stuff and I think it's work fine Yeah, at some point I thought okay. I was going to get busted But he allowed me this B5 B4 then somehow I was happy with the win Now it looked like it was dangerous on the king side for you But actually after B4 you thought you were you were better already because just visually it looked like your king was under a Lot of attack, but actually it's the whites king. That's a suffering Yeah, but in this kind of position. I think the dark Bishop is very important So I think once he gave the bishop I am I mean quite confident because I'm this bitch be a 3 and AB2 also and okay as this bishop has some bishop g8 tricks all the time, but I can stop with f5 So I was confident. Okay, it looks dangerous, but I was calculating all the moves then it's fine Right now, Rohit. Tell me one thing when you're playing against such a solid player But on paper you're higher rated. You're obviously aiming to Do well to win this position this game if you can what is your what are the kind of positions that you're aiming for? What's your strategy? psychologically in such games Okay, mainly I was Okay, my target is to win against these guys. I want to play against these higher-rated So I was choosing all kind of sharp lines in the previous two rounds I was playing all kind of you know h5 h4 go for income complicated stuff. So Okay, I'm just particularly choosing this line so that I can get into some mess and let them think yeah Once they started thinking they will know who is standard is better. So I'm taking my chances But it's time it can go against you also So so far it's working fine, but you have to take risks to create unbalanced positions. Yeah, sometimes you have to recall Yeah, it's not all the time if you play solid. Okay, it doesn't matter unless your opponent blunder You can't win a game here. You have to provoke him sometimes to make a blunder absolutely We wish you all the best for the remaining rounds. Thank you


Hi, I'm Rusty Komori and this is Beyond the Lines. This is our first TV show of the new year and I want to wish you a very happy and healthy 2019. We are broadcasting live from the beautiful Think Tech Hawaii TV studio in the Pioneer Plaza in downtown Honolulu. This show is based on my book also titled Beyond the Lines which is about creating a superior culture of excellence, leadership, and finding greatness. Today's special guest is Brandy Keana-Jo. She is becoming one of the most popular, most sought after holistic life coaches in Hawaii. Brandy promotes unity and positive change by inspiring people to reflect on their natural gifts and live a purposeful life and today we are going beyond your purpose. Hey Brandy, awesome having you here on Beyond the Lines. Thank you so much for having me, Rusty, I'm so grateful. You and I, we know each other for a while and we get into some really deep juicy talks and we'll probably do that today on the show but I know you grew up on Guam. Can you tell me about how it was growing up on Guam? Yes, so born in Guam until I was nine years old until my parents divorced and I went to Washington. When I was in Guam, I loved it there. You don't think it's so small when you're living there, when you're growing up there and I had family all around me and I was really into theater and arts. I loved, I really wanted to get into sports but because of what my parents were going through it wasn't entirely an option. So what did you like about the theater and arts? Well you know I actually started acting when I was three years old. So I got into singing, dancing, art, creating art, drawing, writing, I love writing so everything about arts, everything about theater, I love. And then when did you come to Hawaii? I came to Hawaii when I was about 16 years old and I actually, how I came to Hawaii is because my mom was going through some depression and I suggested for her to take a trip somewhere to get away, to be inspired, to enjoy life again and she decided to come to Hawaii and when she came to Hawaii she found someone, she found love and then a few years later she said we're moving to Hawaii and so I came here and that's how it happened. And you went to Kaiser? I did. How was it at Kaiser? I loved Kaiser High School. I have some of my best friends today from there and there's so many wonderful memories that I have of being at Kaiser and I love that school. I love the camaraderie, I love the teachers, I love the experience that I had there. And then I know you spent a bunch of time in Seattle as well? Absolutely, yeah. 20 years actually, 20 years in Seattle and 13 different cities and I actually left Hawaii to go back to Seattle and I traveled around the world for a little bit and then I just came back about four or five years ago. And the other month you and I were at that Juliet Lighter's event, the Women's Speaking Out, her Speak Love campaign and you felt like a really deep connection with what that whole Speak Love campaign was about. Why is that? Well first off I just want to say big thanks for Juliet Lighter for putting on that wonderful event and inspiring women to speak out and share such vulnerable aspects of their life to inspire other women. So for me there is a lot of different things that touch base for me, the physical abuse, the vulnerability of sharing a piece of yourself to others that you just didn't know could take you there. There's a lot of things there that touched me. Yeah because a lot of, like Juliet, I had her on my show a couple months ago and she shared a lot of her really deep stories and at the event there was a lot of other women that were sharing their stories. Do you have any stories about physical abuse? I do. Unfortunately I do. Growing up there was a lot of physical abuse. In what way? From my mom and I love her to pieces and I think that abuse is something that is, it's a response, it's a reaction that someone can provoke on others and it's something that can also be expressed unwillingly and wantingly I think and growing up there was a lot of that physical abuse. What kind of injuries did you have? Well it was more emotional scarring, it was more of the emotional distraught of my mother having that effect on me and it wasn't so much of like I had a broken bone or things like that but I did, I mean she would beat the crap out of me for sure and she would ground me for reasons I think are irrational such as not having the dishes done, maybe it's like one fork in the sink and not having that done by the time she gets home from work, being grounded for a long period of time and then if there's anything that was out of order because I would have to clean the house every single day while she was at work especially if I missed the bus, if I accidentally missed the bus I'd have to vacuum and clean the entire house every single day and if there was anything that was out of whack then I would be grounded or I'd be punished physically or whatever. I remember prior to coming to Hawaii I was in a relationship, it was kind of like my first puppy love relationship and I really tried to be obedient, I didn't cuss, I didn't lie, I tried to be obedient as much as possible but I really wanted to see my boyfriend before I left to come to Hawaii and she really didn't want me to go see him and this was like a week prior and she chased me around the house with a bunch of knives and she started beating me up and she tried choking me out and things like that and yeah so I know that she was just really frightened about me leaving her, I knew that because it was just me and her in the household that I was all who she had even though she fell in love with someone but really when it came down to it I was kind of like her rock that helped her through a lot of things that she was going through in life and so that's one example, I mean she would throw everything at me, everything in the garage, I mean you name it, she threw it at me, I mean she would, you know... So that wears on you, that's mental abuse as well? Absolutely, absolutely, I mean there was also the manipulation that intertwined with it as well because she was so wrapped up in fear and that could be of anything, fear of abandonment, fear of not being presented in a certain way and there's so many different ways that she would manipulate things so that I would do, I would do a certain thing, say a certain thing or act a certain way. Did you ever experience sexual abuse from anybody? I did, I did in fact when I was five years old that was the first time so there's been multiple occasions that I was sexually abused by different people throughout my life and when I was five years old I knew that this, I knew that it was something that wasn't right and even though I asked for help I couldn't get it, that's actually the cornerstone when I realized that I needed to look after myself. But at five years old so young. Did you ever have any suicidal thoughts at that time? Yes, you did. Five years old was actually my first attempt to suicide. So what did you, what did you do? I tried to hang myself like what I saw in the movies and so but I mean being so young and not really having the right tools, I mean obviously I didn't succeed but I tried several times later on in life in my teenage years when I was sexually abused a couple of times when I was raped, when I became an adult I tried as well and it's, there's a lot of things that I think about suicide that is, it's a very interesting topic. So Brandy why, why did you become a life coach?  I realized that as I overcame all of those different things that it was worth sharing and in fact it was my purpose it's my purpose to share that to help heal and prevent traumas like that happening in other people's lives and and to help people become healthy and happier if it did happen in their life. Oh those are like some I mean major extreme experiences I mean whoa I mean that's like wow very very deep and extremely extreme and no now I get it why why you became a life coach and so many people think that you're like 21 years old and and you're 35 right? Yes and I now I get it because of all those major experiences that you've had and how you're able to really help people in every capacity basically but Brandy I want to know what exactly is a holistic life coach? Well holistic if we look at the term holistic whole it really means whole so with holistic life coaching I look at all facets of life in order to empower someone to be the best they can be to be healthier to be happier and to have a more meaningful life and when I look at when I say holistic and I say whole and I mean all facets of life I'm looking at their diet and physical well-being their relationships and communication career and spirituality and then we dive in even further so it's very complex but I try to simplify it so people can understand more about the connection that they have with them within with others and then the benefit of working together and then talking with you off camera I mean it's not a one-size-fits-all I mean you look at each individual person to really figure out a unique situation that will help them absolutely absolutely it's all customized to that all customized individualized to that person and that means that I don't I don't have like a standard that everybody starts on I meet you at where you're at in life because everyone's different everybody has different triggers different inspirations there's a lot of different things that are playing into your life and so I need to meet you where you're at and we start from one conversation and move forward I want to know brandy there's other life coaches what makes you different from all those other life coaches well there are the various topics that we'll discuss absolutely but a really big important thing for me is that you understand how we're breaking through all these obstacles because if you understand it if you really really understand it then you'll become independent to breaking them on your own and then you'll also help others and so that to me would be the greatest gift is to be that ripple effect and continue to help other people with the things that you've learned I know that makes sense brandy I want to really thank you for sharing you know your personal I mean the deep stories I mean that you just shared earlier but we're going to take a quick break and then when we come back we're going to continue going beyond your purpose you are watching Beyond the Lines on Think Tech Hawaii with my special guest brandy kiana joe we will be back in a quick minute hey loha my name is Andrew Lening I'm the host of security matters Hawaii airing every Wednesday

ideas out as well so I look forward to you tuning in every other week where we've got some great guests and great topics you're going to learn a lot you're going to come away inspired like I do so I'll see you every other week here at three o'clock on Monday afternoon aloha welcome back to be on the lines on Think Tech Hawaii my special guest today is brandy kiana joe who is quickly becoming one of the most popular most sought after holistic life coaches here in Hawaii and today we are going beyond your purpose brandy you in your life coaching you do a lot of group workshops you also do tons of one-on-ones can you share with me things that happen at your workshops for example well I mentioned earlier that I love art yeah and so um sometimes we'll do art therapies we'll paint we'll draw um we'll do writing exercises because I I love to write and I think that when you're actually using a paper and pen and you're doing the motion of writing it really helps you express yourself in other ways that you wouldn't verbally yeah and I think that a lot of people are artists in many ways yeah and so it really allows them to have that opportunity to to share and to um to even surprise themselves um along with that there's a lot of interaction I love to inspire interaction I want people to connect and and to communicate to to really um not just share information but really find ways to connect with other people that they wouldn't normally and brandy I want to know what what's a common situation that you see when people are coming to you for help people are in in the midst of a transition so um usually people come to me when they are not completely clear on what direction that they're going to take and so I help them to understand what that is so that it is aligned with their endeavors their aspirations not outside influences so it's not what I think is best for them as well it's it's really about helping them align and tune in to what is it that they really really want how do they really want to get it and then creating action steps tangible steps that allows them to get there and brandy you know you've run some very popular girlfriend events and I was a guest speaker at one of your events which which was I loved it and I like how at your events it goes really deep I mean there's some really deep things that we discuss and really talk about some very great inner reflection and one one of it that we've talked about about relationships and some people have to realize that certain relationships have an expiration date um and some relationships last forever but what are your thoughts about relationships and divorce and situations like that I well first of all you are a wonderful guest speaker at girlfriends and it was such a delight I think for everybody that showed up to get your perspective on things when it comes to marriage divorce um I 100% believe that some relationships have an expiration date I think that if if two people when we look at marriage first of all we have to understand what is marriage in the first place it's an agreement between two people sharing their life together when we look at divorce we also have to look at what is a divorce it is severing the contract of that life partnership so when we break it down into smaller pieces anytime we are attracted to somebody else it's actually a reflection of what we want inside and what we want our environment to be like if someone loses that attraction again it comes back to what does that person feel when that person is with the other person so if someone wants to stay married then you have to work on yourself that doesn't mean that you need to be separate to work on yourself it doesn't mean you have to have a divorce to get back together but you really need to understand where you are in life presently if divorce seems like the best option for you I think it's going to take a lot of choices before you get to that point but if it is then it's really about you letting go of expectations that you may have of yourself allowing yourself to be present and evolve with what you think is what love is and what you think that you need in life so I would like to go deeper with that with that question because I don't again I know I know how deep you can go on some of these topics but now brandy I know that you definitely go beyond the lines and you have been positively impacting tons and tons of people and you're a huge promoter of my book and I thank you so much for that I want to know though what what do you what is it about the book that you like I absolutely love your book I love everything about the book I think you do such a wonderful wonderful job in storytelling and really explaining things that's very easy to learn very approachable to a wide age range from teens to adults to CEOs which makes sense why it has been sold out multiple times on amazon and and so many wonderful people are picking up the book I think that you do such a wonderful job in explaining how people can be successful how people can work together and leaving an impression that it's much more about winning a game it's much more about a score it's really about your connection with people and I think that's my favorite part of the book it's it's it's the evolution of how we are connected to each other ah nice very nice whoa well good job to you for writing it well and then you know you've come in contact with tons of successful people but I want to know what your definition of success is it's being the greatest expression of yourself and I also think that it encompasses the freedom the ability and the inspiration to serve your community wholeheartedly now passion is a huge thing for people we want everyone to find their passion right and I want to know what what's something that you are very passionate about life I'm passionate about life's experiences perspectives our connection how we evolve people fascinate you yeah indeed so why why do people fascinate you I mean you I mean you just you have such a wide lens and you you're so accepting of so of everyone basically why is that well we that's how we learn we learn from from people we learn from experiences and I think a lot of times people will well people learn in many different ways you can learn by watching TV like this TV show you can learn by reading a book you can learn by traveling but you wouldn't be able to learn anything if people weren't there if if if there wasn't anyone to have a conversation with you I mean you can you can learn and and and observe things but when you really really get down to how you are going to unfold I think a lot of it is through connecting with people or the disconnect with people yeah now obviously brandy you've dealt with extreme situations in your life what's what do you think has been your greatest adversity or your greatest obstacle that you have to overcome in your life it would be becoming an entrepreneur really actually um because it I had to learn how to charge people to help people and that was the biggest thing for me because I've done so much nonprofit work and I've helped so many people pro bono but I had to realize that I needed to eat and I needed to pay rent and I needed to how I have all these ideas to help the community in so many different ways how am I going to support myself to do that I have to charge I have to make sure that I make a living and that was the hardest hardest thing for me to do is to charge yeah well I mean you can't I mean you're so great at you know being a holistic life coach and the popularity I mean it's just skyrocketing and I'm lucky that you know me I'm lucky I know you now what do you see brandy are some other challenges that people deal with when they come to you for help um having the courage to share but that's the first thing that we nip in the butt right away I want people to understand that trust is the absolute foundation for any of this to work and so I share everything as much as possible I try to I pace so I go at your pace I check in with you and that's the first hurdle is for people to like you know I'm going to share some deep stuff is this the right person is this the right person to say this to is this person going to judge me what is what what is this person going to say about me and I really like to Malama I really like to massage those kind of expectations and help them understand what expectations are what ego is what intention is what is intuition help them to really identify their their abilities and to help them express it so they feel strong and they feel like the world has their back yeah well I mean when you share your history and you know your experiences and you go really deep like that I mean it definitely opens the door for everyone else to feel like it's okay for them to do the same and they become vulnerable as well what do you do for you when you need to center yourself a million things give me one or two things a million things well I'm always reflecting I'm always coming back to what am I feeling how am I defining these emotions is this serving me in my highest good is this depleting me I was just giving me life and when I look at these different things that's going on in my life I try to make sure that I add lots of love lots of love meditation sleep good diet connecting with people having time alone but a big part I think that a lot of people get really mixed up a lot of people will say I'm very spiritual you know I'm not feeling that you know maybe there's an opportunity that comes into their to their their lane and they say oh I'm not really feeling it well it's not really being spiritual at all it's actually being very judgmental if you really want to come from a spiritual standpoint you're going to ask yourself what what could I learn here because spirituality it really has to do with growth it has to doing has to do with the evolution of your soul of of who you are and who you'll become and you know we don't always know what will become it's really about the journey so so always asking myself what am I learning here how is this benefiting me how can I add more love to my cup I totally get it and you know I like that you know I know that you're trying to have people reach their fulfillment I'm trying to have people find their greatness and reach their fulfillment so we're all trying to help people achieve their greatness and brandy I really appreciate you being on the show today to really share your story and and about why you're a great holistic life coach and want to thank you for being on beyond the lines today thank you so much I think you do a wonderful job and you know what you're doing here the book the tv show is such a blessing to all
