Hey friends tonight. We are checking in to Disney's Riviera resort for a little staycation We're gonna be staying in a one-bedroom villa with a preferred view Which I think is a firework view and then we're gonna grab a bite to eat down at Barriva because they have a brand new menu I'll give you the grand room tour and show you all the resort amenities and just have a beautiful Riviera kind of day Anyhoo, let's go do this And here it is Disney's Riviera resort the newest Walt Disney World resort and in my opinion The fanciest one to honestly, I really feel like this is the fanciest resort on property right now A lot of them are going through refurbishments, but this one right here standing as is absolutely breathtaking When I say fancy I mean like luxurious like it is absolutely beautiful here The rooms are immaculate everything is up to date and the balconies have these like beautiful hidden mickeys on the railings And I just love it here I know a lot of resorts are going through with some refurbishments right right now But this one as is is like the most up-to-date luxurious rooms because it's the newest Walt Disney World resort We're gonna make our way up to the room We're all checked in and then I want to grab some coffee and some light snacks They have some amazing food service like locations here They have multiple ones and one of the best ones you can find is the restaurant that they have all the way at the top Topolinos, I don't think we're gonna be able to eat there today, but I have eaten there many of times and it is absolutely amazing One of the things I don't like about this resort and there's not many like I really do love this resort is It's lobby. It's like a very dinky lobby and going to a bunch of different Disney resorts Like I love walking into the Grand Floridian and the wilderness lodge and it's like big lobby, but here it's like very tiny It's very strange This is the lobby itself, but I do have to say even though it is small It does have a lot to offer it has like a little gift shop over there And then it has a La Petite cafe, which is a great spot to get a coffee and I think that's what I'm gonna do I'm gonna grab a quick coffee. Maybe a little snacky poo before we head up and I'll give you the grand room tour Since it's October, I think I'm gonna get myself a little pumpkin cold brew They do have some desserts here, but I hear that there's a really interesting cookie Downstairs, so I think I'll wait to get that instead right now. I'm just gonna stick to the coffee Usually I get the lemon matte lines and look at these little things aren't they so precious But like I said, there's a new cookie in town that we got to try, but they do have some pumpkin mousse items over here So you got a pumpkin mousse right there and then the lemon cheesecake and a fruit tart see lots of really good stuff Cheers to a little pumpkin coffee, and then we're gonna head up to the room, but I gotta give it the taste test first That's good very pumpkin-y. I like it As you're roaming the halls you'll find tons of awesome pictures of Walt Disney look at them right here Like I love these photos. In fact if I can get some prints I might want to hang these in my house in the future like this one right here doesn't what look like a gangster right there He's looking straight up like a gangster, and I love it, and then we got Mickey over here These are so beautiful like every time I look at them and you got them looking like a gangster and then Kind of like Tony Stark right in that picture right there. I like it All right, we have made it to our room I went in and turned on all the lights and let me tell you guys something This is an amazing room. We are staying in a one bedroom villa, and it is absolutely amazing Thank you to the world of DBC. They actually gave me this room And I am like kind of like shocked on how beautiful it is like it is absolutely stunning and It's got an amazing view too. It's the total package Remember when I said this is probably the fanciest resort Well, I stand by that and if you guys can tell me a more fancier resort Please let me know in the comments because this just screams Luxurious to me look at it in here. This is the living room now like I said, it's a one bedroom villa Look at these chairs like I just want to sit on everything There's so many places you can sit and everything has hidden Mickey's look at the pillows We'll get to that day bed right there or the Murphy bed, but you got Beauty and the Beast right up there You've got Mickey and Minnie It is so breathtaking in here. You have another bed under here, which I got to show you this bed. Hold on Look at that Isn't that so nice? And then you got a TV You got a full kitchen huge look at all this space and then look at the little kitchen area You got a dining room table and like I said all these chairs are just so cool-looking. I love all of it King of the castle king of the castle. I have a chair. I have a chair How many chairs do you need in a resort room like this is insane? I caught one two three four five six Seven seven different types of chairs in one room in one room seven different types of chairs in one room As I was rearranging all the furniture. I noticed some unique storage space over here. Look at this This is crazy, this is this is really open. Oh my lord it does I'm telling you and you can you can actually sleep here, too Like there is so much space and we only got into the kitchen like we still have a whole nother room to get to Now I'll give you a look at some of the kitchen area You got an up-to-date and updated dishwasher Tons of tons of space. You got a whole toaster not too many places give you a toaster one of the fancy coffee machines The good stuff they give you to find China in here no paper plates a full stove Got some things down here Got a full fridge a Big fridge with a freezer an ice maker is the ice maker on I always wonder about this Let the ice begin Enough of the kitchen in the living room area, but I will come back to show you guys the Murphy bed Now let's get into the bedroom and the bathrooms plural rooms I'm gonna go back to where I start at the video and just give you a walking tour as we walk through now This is the door that you come in as soon as you come in I'd like to call this a little cell phone table because you can just put your stuff there and then to the left This is where it gets interesting. This is where it gets interesting. We've got a gigantic closet on this side It's a big closet then we've got a full washer and dryer comes with some detergent and this is one of the last H2o detergents they probably are gonna have for a while I don't know when they plan on discontinuing, but I'm putting it in my pocket now So I don't forget comes in a collect a collapsible laundry basket and then here is the bathroom with the first bathroom and look at this Isn't this fancy Like it is so nice in here you got a beautiful walk walk-in shower. It's got like that rain You know the rain effect right here.  Look at this in the hair. It's it's beautiful It is a gigantic bath rooms That's why I say because it's more than one room and they have the little separators too. Oh, oh They have really fancy separators Seven chairs multiple closets multiple bathrooms and some fancy doors like these doors are really really nice Look at these bathroom doors. I like it a lot and now we're in the bedroom We are in the bedroom. It's so nice the headboard up here. It's got a bunch of Hidden mickeys in it. I don't know if you can see it right there I've actually seen these headboards for sale at Forever Vintage. The only thing is And I'm just gonna say it Doesn't seem like a lot of space underneath the bed I mean, there's no storage space like they don't have any drawers, but not a lot of space there. I Stand corrected There's space They also have a nice little dresser in the bedroom too along with the TV and more closets Look at this. This closet's probably really big in here. Oh Yeah, it's tons and tons of room in the closet We got clothes hangers and some storage back here and just I don't know overall nice very good Alright enough of the room tour. Let's get to the good stuff Let's get to the Murphy bed and the balcony and this is a preferred view So we're gonna see some theme parks like it's kind of like when they say preferred view It's more like theme park view and I don't even know if we're gonna be able to see fireworks It might be a fireworks view too. So I mean, I'm excited Here is the Murphy bed. I'm excited. I'm hoping it's Dalmatians though because in the studios They have Dalmatians, but I'm not too sure what they have here Let's see. Well It's not it's Peter Pan. Oh Trying to lower this down with one hand. It's not easy There we go That is nice, isn't it in the studio one they have a little pongo on a bed And it's so beautiful But the thing I love about these Murphy beds is how they have these little storage cells in here And then they have little chargers too. Look at that Seriously, this whole room is gigantic. You could probably sleep. I would say like 20 people in here It's hard for me to say what my favorite like little mural is either on the day beds and the Murphy beds But honestly the Dalmatian one that's in like the little studio at here at Riviera might be my favorite I honestly I think it is As we make our way out to the balcony. I wanted to show you the hidden Mickey's in The curtains here. Look at this Do you see them? Isn't that so cool and then here is the balcony that I was talking about with the preferred view And I always point out the mickey right here because it's so amazing Beautiful right and look at this Look at this view It is breathtaking you get the skyliner the tower of terror you get Epcot right there and then uh-oh I'm losing focus. There we go. And then I'm pretty sure we're going to watch the fireworks head on right here And it's going to be breathtaking I want to try to make it back up here to see if we can watch the fireworks from the balcony And maybe do a little time lapse, but I do need to get something to eat and the Riviera Just started serving a new menu down at one of its quick service locations So I think we're going to head down there. I'm here by friend Kristen actually Right down main street and I think we're going to go try some of the new food You know the room is amazing though. It's absolutely breathtaking and I love staying here like It's it's it's stunning I'm not too sure how it's going to come out But I set up the gopro and we're going to try to catch the sunset since we're going to get something to eat It's doing its thing there It's hanging on living on the edge living on the edge like literally And uh, I hope you enjoy it. I'll probably insert it in right now So that's what Epcot is An experimental prototype community that will always be in a state of becoming I hope that came out as beautiful as I imagined and now we are down on the main floor We're going to check out all the different resort amenities Maybe hit up the pool later on maybe grab some drinks and just enjoy We got some bachi ball over here. This is one of the quick service locations But where I think we're going to first is bar riva, which is on the other side. It's kind of like a little pool bar I I feel like that is the pool bar because I don't have a bar by the pool But uh, this place is really good too Here it is bar riva and it's right next to the pool and I kind of want to go down that water side there It looks really fancy. The whole pool looks really nice So that might be on the agenda a little bit later on right now Drinks and some snacks are definitely in order Here is a look at the food and most of these items are brand new They've got baked brie. They've got mushroom arancini. They've got salmon with arasio And you know, my uncle's name was arasio. So I call that arasio His name was arasio and we called him uncle ori for sure And I love it and I used to think like he was named after the pasta, but that is not the case at all And uh, they also have some sticky wings and I think I'm going to get the sticky wings and christin. What are you getting? I am getting the arancini and the salmon because I heard they were both really good. Oh the salmon. Oh, yes Very good. Well, I'm excited.  No, it's never happening I mean, I've tried salmon before. I'm just not a fan. It's not a fan of the salmon The slammin salmon Most of these items just started today. So I'm excited to try some of them And I got the sticky wings because I thought it was a safe bet But they said they can be a little bit spicy. So I'm a little nervous. I eat my wings mild and uh, Not really good with hot food. So we'll see how that goes But we got some drinks to start cheers. What did you get? I have no clue a fruity beverage That's all I know. I got a little old-fashioned a fancy old-fashioned in a plastic cup I really don't have high expectations for the old-fashioned if it's not served with a single ice cube and in a fancy glass But we'll give it a go anyway Actually, it's very good. It's actually very smooth. I mean, it's made with a good old woodford But and also they don't got the right cherries in there, but it's actually very good So who goes to the bartender for making something with what he's got? And now the wings have arrived and look at these look at these things. They look so pretty I don't know. It's not like a buffalo sauce. I don't know what's going on there They look very sticky, but I'm excited to try them. They like I said, there is a little bit of a kick And it gets served with a little aioli on the side there and some radishes on top All right, we're going for it Hopefully they're not too spicy. I'm gonna try to focus in on it. Look at that They look sticky Sticky wingy. Me, Tommy, me want wingy, but we're going for it. Here we go Those are good. Wow, it's good wings. Holy moly I'd like to report that my mouth is not burning The the spice never hit so we're good there and Kristen you got I got two of the brand new menu items Just debuted literally today Salmon with orzo. It looks like there's some chickpeas and spinach in there as well And then some mushroom arancini Everything smells amazing and they both came highly recommended for mushrooms very fresh. You want to wingy? I might have to steal a little wing.  Yeah, but the sauce the sauce is good.  Nothing crazy All right, it's enough of the wing business now It's time for dessert and they have a new cookie not here They haven't had the other quick service, but they brought it over for us And it's really cool because it's a mixture of different nuts like walnuts I think they call it the riviera signature cookie and I can't wait to try it And here it is the riviera signature cookie and it's a bunch of different ingredients It's dried oats chocolate chips cherries walnuts pistachios a little bit of everything and We're gonna try it. I mean, I'm sure it's not gonna be like that good But who knows maybe this might be my favorite cookie of all time Give me your best cookie break there christen. It is it is pretty warm. Is it? Oh, it's oh my god, it didn't even break in half it's broken. Oh This is a good sign. I was gonna say that looks like a good sign. I wonder if it's gonna be better than Gideon's. Oh I do love pistachio. So here we go Wow, that's an amazing cookie actually You can literally see the pistachios the walnuts and the chocolate chips and the oats in there This is a very good. I mean, I like nutty cookies though because I'm a nut Now it's time we make our way back up to our room and see if the fireworks are like a firework view It's just about that time. We're gonna be able to see Epcot and uh, yeah, I'm excited to hang out on the balcony Have a drink or two and maybe catch the firework show As I was making my way back up to my room I noticed a lot of the open house rooms for the disney vacation club because this resort is a disney vacation club resort And uh, as I mentioned before the world of dvc actually gave me the points to stay at this resort and honestly like The world of dvc has you covered on everything dvc. They have the dvc resale market So if you ever want to reach out and you want to, you know, we're thinking about buying disney vacation club You actually rent points and you can see what it's like first and then also they even do Resale so you can buy a disney vacation club Resale and save thousands of dollars through them. So I'll put all of their links in the description It's definitely something you want to check out because it will save you thousands if you're looking or interested in buying dvc I made it back up to the room with one minute to spare Look at this With that, I think we are done for tonight. I figured we call it an early night Wake up and do something fun in the morning. Maybe breakfast at topolinos or maybe hit up the pool later on You know, there's a lot of cool things. I got here a little bit late. My room wasn't ready until 4 35 o'clock So I lost a lot of time in the daylight, but it was awesome watching those fireworks They were really amazing and I would compare those fireworks to like baylake tower like an enchantment Like it's like right there in your face and uh, yeah, like I said, like we'll call tonight wake up early Have some more fun. So see you in the morning. Good night And good morning. It was a nice little slumber last night And I wanted to wake up and get some breakfast Kristen kept on telling me the best place to get breakfast is at topolinos and I've never had breakfast there I mean, I've eaten dinner there plenty of times and I spent a lot of time up there just hanging out and uh, I woke up and I was able to grab a Walk-up list like reservation because I'm staying at the hotel. So I was able to join the walk-up list So I called christen.  I'm gonna do my first time ever uh breakfast at topolinos and uh, yeah, it's gonna be fun Like I said, christen said it's her favorite dining experience of all and I've never done it to character dining Lots of fun characters are coming out and I think it's all you can eat. I don't know. We'll figure it out, but I'm excited To start off. I think I'm gonna get myself a nice cup of coffee and Some endless pog juice and I like the glasses that they give us. These are very fancy. Well cheers Cheers to your favorite restaurant Yep The pog juice actually matches my shirt a little bit. Look at that very fancy I also like how they give you your own coffee. Look at this Oh, this is really fancy Fill it all the way up nice little creamer picture here almost looks like a coffee cup on its own I was trying to make the fanciness. You ever see the baristas when they make that fanciness I don't think they do it so sloppy or dropy like mine This breakfast is 45 dollars and it's a character breakfast So you see mickey mini donald daisy all walking around you get this really nice pastry basket to start off And then it's per entree, but I'm pretty sure I've heard that you can just get as many entrees This is your want it's kind of like one of those things where it's like it is all you care to enjoy But it's not advertised and uh, it's a good value. Kristen said like it's her favorite place It's her favorite dining experience at disney. So I mean, I'm here. It's my first time.  I'm gonna move this out of the way so I can see what else we got in there Oh, they all look good. I think there's two each. So we'll have enough for each like one each one each These pastries are low key like the best thing here. Everything is handmade like these are handmade These are not your typical disney buffet pastries where they're just like coming out of the box or anything Handmade you heard it first Kind of looks like it's a nice little croissant And a crumb cake maybe a coffee cake I don't even know and then a little chocolate chip muffin here. So we're gonna dive in I think I'm gonna start with the croissant and it's cool that you know, like Kristen said they make these every day like handmade I gotta be careful. I don't want to drop my croissant, but this looks so good actually Wow here comes daisy mid-bite Yeah, oh you like my shirt. Thank you and the hat.

That's a whole baby potato right there amazing So good uh Now it's time to dive into the bread pudding And it's not soft bread pudding, which is kind of catching me off guard here I'm usually thinking like the bread pudding is going to be gooey But it's actually pretty stuck in there Now I do love bread pudding. So I'm excited to see what this is like. I don't eat all that just a little bit Intentiony everybody the bread pudding test has begun The bread pudding is so good very firm a very nice texture It's not soggy like I'm impressed. I'm impressed with the bread pudding right there I mean, it's not like oh hana bread pudding level, but it's pretty good Now it's time to get down to the waffle business I like how they give you this little syrup crew at here And we're gonna just put a little syrup on not a lot of syrup Just a little tiny bit of syrup because you don't want to oversaturate it you want to Keep it nice and fresh. So you don't want to put all the syrup you can on there Let's see how this waffle compares to waffle house That's actually a really good waffle that might have done it for me right there That might have done it for me Honestly that waffle is really up there for me. It's not as it's not better than waffle house, but It's pretty good like it's great texture. It's got a nice little crunch to it I'm all about it Kristen said I don't know how to eat it.

I enjoyed making it We'll see you next time. Bye


I'm Rusty Kamori, and this is Beyond the Lines on ThinkTech Hawaii. I was the head coach of the Punahou Boys varsity tennis team for 22 years, and we were fortunate to win 22 consecutive state championships. My book Beyond the Lines is about leadership, creating a superior culture of excellence, and finding greatness, which is what this show is all about. My special guest today, is a very successful general surgeon for nearly 30 years, was the head coach of the Iolani Boys varsity basketball team, guiding them to seven state championships, and the current president and CEO of HMSA. He is Dr. Mark Mugiishi, and today we are going beyond health insurance. Hey, Dr. Mark, welcome to the show. Rusty, thanks for having me, really good to be here. I know how busy you are, and I know that you grew up in Hawaii, but what schools did you attend?  Then I went to Chicago to attend Northwestern University, both for undergrad and medical school.  So I did my residency in general surgery here. After six Chicago winters, it was time to run away and come back to the tropical climates. But you know, my time in Chicago made me fall in love with big cities. So I did part of my residency training in New York City as well. So you know, love the mix of the Hawaii wonderful culture we have here and a big city like New York or Chicago. Dr. Mark, what got you interested in pursuing the medical field? You know, I think it's a combination of things. First of all, I am, I think I'm a, I'm a people person. I really like human beings. I like being around them, trying to help. So that's, you know, medicine is a service job. I also like science. So you're a pseudoscientist when you're in medicine, like a lot of us say medicine is more of an art than a science, but you still have to base a lot of what you do based on data and evidence. So that combination really made medicine attractive to me. And Dr. Mark, what was the first job that you ever had that you got paid money for? So yeah, so back to that theme of a service job. I was a summer fund rec aid for Aliamanu during the summer. And then after that, I got promoted and I got to be at the IA rec center as a summer aid for, for all of the whole time I was in college. Oh, that, that's interesting. Cause I worked as a summer aid for summer fun as well. It was good fun. It was good fun for sure. But you're right.   Why, why have you been successful in as a surgeon for so long? Again, field is, it's deals with people. And I think I put them first. You know, I always say that if you wake up in the morning and you have good intent and you do the best you can, and then you, then you can go to sleep feeling good about what you did. So, you know, my whole career as a surgeon, that's how I approached it. Oh, that's good to hear. And Dr. Mark, why has HMSA been such a great organization for decades? You know, it's founded interestingly by social workers. So it puts community first. I think that's what really number one makes it a special place. You know, when you're, when your purpose is to improve the lives of the people that you serve, you're starting in the right place. And I think that's what's made it so successful. And I like that when I saw you on the cover of Midweek. I mean, that was so good. I mean, so well deserving right there. You're on the cover. And now as HMSA's president and CEO, what is your vision to make HMSA an even greater organization? Yeah. So, you know, for many, many years, HMSA's focus was selling the best healthcare coverage to its members so that they could make sure and whenever they needed it, they, they could rest, you know, rest assured that they would be covered. And I think we still want to do that. But I think I'm trying to expand the scope of the organization to make it more of a health organization. So we're actually impacting the health and well-being of the state of Hawaii because we're, we're on the delivery side as well, besides the coverage side. Now, you know, when, when you, when I saw that you got named president and CEO at the beginning of February this year, I was so happy because I know all of your track records, you know, with your accomplishments and you being a great leader.  And I want to ask you, Dr. Mark, because of the pandemic, what are some of the challenges that you're dealing with at HMSA at the moment? Yeah, you know, the pandemic has been hard for everybody. I think probably the biggest impact that, that happened at HMSA, besides the fact, obviously, that it's a, you know, it's a huge infectious disease and it's impacted the, the health of whoever gets infected. It's also severely affected the economy.  They worry about their next paycheck, about fulfilling bills. And then their ability to afford good health care in the future is going to be challenged. And so I think the biggest challenge we have is how do we quickly bring the affordability of health care under control so that our current generation and future generations are going to be able to afford access to health care? Yeah, no, that's, that's really, that's critical. And I want to ask you about my books, Dr. Mark. You know, obviously I talk a lot about leadership. I talk a lot about creating a superior culture of excellence. And that's what you're all about. And I want to ask you, what is your, how would you describe your leadership style?  I like to have people at my side as we move forward. I think that's from coaching a team support all these years. You feel like you can accomplish more as a unit than you can as a single individual. So I think that's one very important concept. The other is that I definitely feel that everyone has a role to play. And I encourage everyone, even in the concept that this is a community and everyone's got to do their job, let's focus on making sure you do your job, your role correctly. So I used to say all the time that there is no I in team, but there is one in win. So we want to, we want to be part of a team and make sure that our priorities are in the right place. But we want to do our job so that we can successful as a unit. Well, speaking of teams, Dr. Mark, you were the head coach of the Ilani boys varsity basketball team for 20 years and you guided them to seven state championships. Why, why were your teams so successful? You know, I do think it was that concept of playing as one team, as one unit, as understanding that the good of the of the common organization is more important than individual accolades. I think that was very important. It was also very important to make sure everyone the role that they played. So you may not be the one that's shooting all the baskets, but if you're getting all the rebounds for us, you're going to help us win. You know, being able to communicate that with kids was was a great experience for me because it's it's thing now, the communication with my employees, our members, same style is, you know, it's it's getting them to understand what not not so much getting me to understand as their as not so much as to matter with them, but what matters to them. Yeah, no, that's really good. And I remember watching Derek Lowe on your team and how did you I mean, he was such a superstar, but you can't win with just one player. It takes a team. So how what would you do as a coach to really have everyone buy in to their role and then to also help Derek be even stronger? Yeah, no, that's a great point. And I think that's why it's really important when you have a great player like that, you almost have to emphasize his role at the beginning so that people understand that everyone is going to contribute and that that superstar player understands that they have to involve everyone else. One of the tenants that I follow is that you want to be fair, but not equal. You're not going to treat Derek equally from everybody. I'm going to treat fairly, which may mean that you don't get the ball as much, Derek, because you're good. So, you know, like, you're going to have to pass it to other people and then take other shots. And then at the right moment, I understand how to rally everybody around him to make a good team effort. So, Dr. Mark, why didn't you retire after 20 years? So the public reason was I'm busy. I have, you know, other responsibilities. I have other interests I have to do. The real reason was I couldn't reach any more from the three point line. So once you get to that point, it's time to give it up to the younger guys. You knew it was time. Now, you also met Bobby Webster.  What why he a successful general manager and why do you think they won the World Championship this past year? He was our shooting guard at the same time when Derek was our point guard. So he played for us. And the concept of, you know, making sure that you're part of a team, the concepts of making sure you understand what matters. Bobby was special in that way. When he was a young high school student, you already knew how to communicate with people and how to make sure that he understood their perspective and how to draw them. So, you know, people would just follow him. He had charisma, he had perspective. And you could just tell he was going to be something to control. Wow. And Dr. Mark, you know, you and I, we've both been on team for, you know, sports or business. And we know what the what the leaders have done. If they're if they were good or bad. What do you feel the best leaders do? They communicate, they understand what matters. They treat them fairly, but not equally. And they make everybody understand their role to contribute to the common good. I think those would be my main points. Dr. Mark, you have a passion for Broadway musicals. And you became a producer of that very popular Broadway called Legion, starring George Takei and Lea Solanga. What what is it about that you loved so much? Well, the story of Allegiance is really meaningful, I think, to anybody up in Hawaii. Because it's a it's a story of a Japanese family is considering the Japanese-American internment camp in World War Two. But it's a it's more of a the basic premise of the story or social justice and equality. And I think that is that's not only meaningful to the story here in Allegiance, but it's kind of meaningful to what we're going through in the United States. And so that's that's what was really attractive to me about it. And then I learned quickly that putting on a Broadway musical like pushing a team, you know, there's all the different players with all the different perspectives from the stars, like to the stagehands, to the finance people, to the, you know, to everybody else, the musicians that all have to come together to create one piece of art that an audience member will come in, listen and walk away saying, wow, that was moving and transforming for my life. Now, I know because of that, I mean, you know, George Takei for many years. What is it about him that makes him so likable and so successful and such a great person? What kind of insights can you share? I think the one thing I would say that is his number one asset is as much of a star as he is and as many people want his time. When he talks to you, you are the only person in the room. He looks at you, you have his full one hundred percent undivided attention and the pope could be walking in the room and he'll just be still talking to you and and paying attention to you. And that that was a lesson well learned for me. I mean, here's a guy who has huge numbers of people like following him and trying, you know, tens of millions of people follow him on social media. But you are the most important person to him at that moment in time. Live long and prosper. Absolutely. Now, what what makes Lea Salonga all these years as well? Well, for her, it's pure talent. She has the voice of an angel, right?  And and like it's hard to even imagine anybody who sounds better than her. That is her biggest asset. Dr. Mark, I have a question for you about HMSA. You know, this is from a viewer. What what happens if a patient doesn't have insurance? You know, in Hawaii, we're very lucky because of the prepaid Health Care Act, there are very, very few people who don't have insurance. They're covered by one type insurance or another. Either the employer covers them or we have expanded Medicaid. So MedQuest will cover them or if they're older, you know, Medicare cover them. So 95, 97 percent of people in Hawaii are covered. For the others, you know, they'll have to go to an emergency room or an urgent care where where they'll get covered. And unfortunately for that, it doesn't doesn't really take care of all of their health. It just takes care of the urgent situation at that point in time. So it's not conducive to overall health. Thanks for those insights there about that. And I also know, Dr. Mark, that you got to meet President Obama and how was that experience? And what did you talk about with him? Yeah, so the man has great charisma. That meeting was in New York. It was when Allegiance was going on. He was there for the Democratic National Convention. So speak fundraising event. And I got to go and there was a line going through. And typically you took a photo and you walked on. But while I was taking the photo, I said, Hey, Mr. President, you know, I caught the basketball and then, wow, that got him super interested. And he wanted to talk about the Yilan. He put a rivalry and how come he didn't beat us more when he was coaching and put a haul at the service actually said, Hey, sir, you got to move along and the president forget it. We're talking about a while. Let him stay here. So I got to stand there and talk to him for quite a while. It was great. Oh, that's so good to hear. You also got to meet Oprah Winfrey, the big O. That was, yeah, that was wonderful to meet her. You know, as you may know, she has a tie to the Hawaiian Islands and she especially loves Maui. So we were having a well, well being event on Maui and Oprah agreed to come and be our keynote speaker at that. So we packed thousands of people there in Kahului to talk, you know, to listen to Oprah talk about health and well being. Well, so I mean, to you meet some important people at Dr. Mark, very lucky.  I want to ask you if we go deeper, you know, what's a what's a personal challenge or a personal adversity that you dealt with in your life? And how did you overcome it? You know, we all have personal adversities.  It was my, you know, my own health. I had a couple of health issues that I had to fight with. And then I had my own father pass away from health issues. And whenever you have those challenges, you have to reach down and figure out, you know, how you're going to keep going. And I always say, you know, you can only control so much and you have to control it by waking up every morning with good intent, doing the best you can and then reset and start again. And I think if you keep that attitude going, you can overcome any challenge that that might come up across your path. What what kind, you know, in terms of business, in terms of your professional career, what's a what's a really tough decision that you have to make over these years?  I love surgery. I love taking care of people. It was meaningful work. You know, the people you're taking care of remember you forever and you do an invaluable service to them when you operate and cure them. Moving to HMSA, there was a chance to do a similar thing for an entire population. But still, nevertheless, you know, giving up my practice, giving up the people I worked with, giving up my colleagues and then give patients was a tough decision. Oh, no, but you know, you're in a position now to really help impact so many more people, like you said. And I think that's a great thing. I'm with HMSA. That's my that's my health insurer. Well, thank you. Thank you. And Dr. Mark, I want to ask you about advice. You know, what's what's the best advice you ever received in your life? You know, one of my mentors when I was learning how to coach was Eddie Hamada, who's kind of a local legend. You know, he didn't coach basketball, he coached football. But really, when you're coaching kids, it's all the same thing, right? You're the desire that. You know, what you're trying to accomplish and get them to do is the same regardless of the technical aspects of the sport. And what he used to say to me is you're going to be a successful coach and replace coach with boss.  You can't fake it. They know if you're faking it. So genuinely care. And if you don't care, then you shouldn't do it. Oh, yeah, it's all about empathy. And that's that's great advice. I mean, the your team members have to feel that you have their best well-being as your priority for them, too.  And besides him in the sports world, who is another that you admire? You know, I would say in the sports world, I've I've admired coaches that have taken a very strategic approach to the game. So, you know, people like the John Woodins of the world, the Dean Smiths that they've they've analyzed the situation. They figured out what's the best way to make use of the the players that they have rather than just play one way. So I always felt like at Yolani and coaching high school basketball, I wasn't going to be able to develop a system of play where I would say every year we can play like this and we just plug in the the slots of people who are going to feel into that because you're not going to get that every year. So you had to adjust your approach to what you have. And I think that was important to me as a coach and like copying other people, like learning how they did that, because it's helped me in my business world, because every year you don't get dealt the same cards and you have to be able to adapt and be adaptable and and work with what you have in that particular situation.  You know, we had, you know, seniors graduate or some returners that never made the team back. And so we always would have a new team. And I'm sure that was the same with you. You never had the same identical team. Now, you would let me ask you this in terms of the team's strengths and weaknesses and then looking at your opponent's strengths and weaknesses and how you talked about strategy. What kind of what what would you do beyond that in terms? Because, you know, you can use your strengths and attack their weakness, obviously, and they're going to try to do the same to you. What are your insights about that strengths and weaknesses? Yeah, you know, that's absolutely an essential thing. But once you just decide that, like from a cognitive standpoint, that here's what we're going to do.  And, you know, when you try and communicate that to your teams, this is what they're going to do.  Then it's not going to work very well. So communication, getting buy in, getting everybody to understand that this is what it's going to take as a unit to be successful. It's probably one of the most critical pieces of all of that. So we would spend a lot of time just on that, just on making sure that the unit was bought in. OK, and for me, I would always tell my team that, you know, I don't give good feedback or bad feedback. I give honest feedback. And what kind of communicator were you? Yeah, I would say the same. I was pretty honest, you know, like somebody deserved praise. They got it. If they deserve criticism, they got it. You know, I remember once I said in a in a meeting afterward, we were we were on a trip. So we were kind of standing under a tree so people could hear us. This was a preseason game where you can say things that might be biting because they have chances to improve over the year. Right. We're not talking about the last game of the season. But I told one kid, you know, we lost because of you. And one parent afterward told me, wow, that is like so cold. How could you say something like that to a kid? I said, because it was true, right? But now, you know, now that kid will know that that the behaviors that he did in that game that caused us all to lose, he won't do it again. And sure enough, he became like one of the best players that we had in terms of like fulfilling his role and doing the right things. Yeah, no, it's it's a hard lesson. But and oftentimes some of those kids, they might not realize it at the moment. But, you know, maybe years later, they realize how impactful that was, how it helped them, you know, deal with life's adversities. And speaking of life, Dr. Mark, what's what's a valuable lesson you learned in life so far? You know, I think kind of like pulling from some of the concepts I talked earlier, I'm a great believer in social justice. But what I talked about before is fair is not equal. That what we want to do is be fair. And that doesn't mean that you do everything equally because everyone has a different perspective. They have a different need. They have a different way that they need to be treated for them to be given an opportunity to be successful. Dr. Mark, before we wrap up, I want to ask you one more question. What's what's a future goal for you that you want to achieve? Well, right now, I just want to get out of this pandemic. You know, this is that's the one thing about pandemic. It really focuses you that you've got to pay attention to this. So, you know, I feel like I have a big responsibility with the largest health organization in the state, you know, and this being a health issue, right? The pandemic, whether you're talking about it as a health issue from the standpoint of the infectious disease aspect or a health issue based on the fact that we have to make sure we take care of the next generation of people of Hawaii by getting back on our feet. It's a big health issue. And I feel a huge responsibility to help HMSA navigate that those waters and get us to the right place. So really, I'm just focused on that. Well, Dr. Mark, I want to thank you for joining me on the show today. You are a great leader and you definitely go beyond the lines. I really want to thank you for joining me on the show today. Thank you so much for having me, Rusty. Really appreciate the opportunity. And thank you for watching Beyond the Lines on Think Tech, Hawaii. For more information, please visit RustyKomori.com and my books are available on Amazon and Barnes and Noble. I hope that Dr. Mark and I will inspire you to create your own superior culture of excellence and to find your greatness. Aloha.


What I remember most from last year when the floods hit was when we woke up that morning and saw five feet of water Surrounding our facilities. It was shocking. It was really shocking seeing the devastation on the coca-cala highway It's so surreal. It's like how did so much water get there so fast? We got a knock on the door of the police telling us that the bank had been breached and the same breath He said so are you going or staying and we said, you know We've got cattle to look after and then it came with a vengeance like a river through here It's definitely devastating how much road got taken away, but I'm still impressed with how quickly Local contractors did the rebuild of the three main sites on our reserve There was a lot of community spirit the evening of the 15th that they told us the pumps were gonna fail They didn't 300 volunteers sandbag go night and the pumps were saved People helped other people by offering beds offering property to stay with an RV. It was just all hands-on deck 24-7 there were already lots of trailers and farmers rescuing cattle and With one phone call there the trailers were coming our way and the year later we have survived and We're starting to rebound When these things happen larger conversations happen in terms of preventative maintenance How do we build a better diking system which they're doing now which we've been asking for for a long time? But it's it's happening. Which is a good thing. I think our community is in a better position now because we all learned that We need to stay together and work as one as British Columbians We deal with a lot already But there's a community here that cares for each other very deeply and I think everyone's getting back on their feet now, which is great


Live from Orlando, Florida, extracting the signal from the noise, it's theCUBE. Covering Enterprise Connect 2016. Brought to you by Oracle ZDLRA, Vonage and Kappa X. Now your hosts, John Furrier and Peter Zantesonio. Hello everyone, welcome to theCUBE, special presentation at Enterprise Connect. It's our first event in the unified communication space and I want to just do a shout out to our sponsors, Oracle ZDLRA, zero data loss appliances.  Vonage and Kappa X, thanks for supporting us to come out to theCUBE. I'm John Furrier with theCUBE on the ground here with Adam Swider, who's with Google, Google at work, Google Enterprise, Google Apps, welcome to theCUBE. Thank you very much, John. So obviously we love Google, obviously for the search engine it's been great for all these generations, but Google Apps really is the poster child for working online. You guys have great software, but this is a user expectation change. This is not the data center server, client server legacy, it's the new world of cloud. That's what's happening here in the unified communication space. Really for the first time, I mean there's been glimmers of change, but more than ever this year is the big stake in the ground, it's the cloud, all kinds of new stuff's happening and all the proof points are coming to bear. So I want you to share quickly the Google update with Apps and things that you're working on and why it's important for the folks watching to their businesses. Sure, so we're very excited about Google Apps and how it's really helping companies unlock the creativity and productivity in their workforces. And it could be a startup company that's just starting out on their technology platform and choosing Gmail and Google Drive and Google Docs as a natural choice, or it could be a large well-established company that's looking to transition off of their old legacy infrastructure into a much more modern IT. And we were here today at the event sharing the story of Motorola Solutions and how they made that journey. But fundamentally the world of IT is changing and the notion that IT chooses and then rolls out platforms to the users from on high and this happens every few years, those days are gone. Every day, every individual wakes up and gets to choose, are they going to use a new piece of technology on their mobile phone? And so that type of expectation is coming more and more into work and Google Apps really plays well into that desire for the technology to allow the people to connect and communicate and then kind of get out of the way. So Gmail, Google Docs and Drive for collaboration, Google Hangouts for real-time communication, all of that coming together in a very well-integrated and effective suite that allows organizations to again unlock the creativity and innovation of their employees. Google's been very fundamentally and proud but also kind of aggressive, technically as anyone knows, Google we've been following Google since it's been founded, very technical oriented company. And not arrogant but in a good way, maybe you can say that but they deliver great solutions. On the enterprise side, you guys have done that but now the integration message is big.  What's your guiding principle around the enterprise? Because there's a big partnering ecosystem that involves it, certainly channels and developers and you have Google Code among other things. What is the philosophy around Google and enterprise? Because you got to be technically superior. You got to enable people to be successful. At the same time, play well in the sandbox with others. What's your vision and strategy? Yeah, so there's a couple of elements I think to our strategy. The first one is while we're really focused on the future of work and how people are going to communicate and collaborate, we also understand that we have to build bridges to the past and allow some of those older technologies to interoperate or at least provide a bridge to get them over into sort of this new world. And giving them some amount of tools to make that migration but also encouraging them to think very deliberately about how much of that they want to invest in because we've seen in our own organization, the more of those bridges that you build, the more interoperability you build, the longer it keeps that old stuff around and ultimately that stuff ends up becoming a drag on innovation. And we've seen that ourselves internally. And so this notion of being able to build just the right amount of bridge but also provide just the right amount of push to get into a more modern way of working is where we see kind of our sweet spot. And one of the things that I'm most excited about and many people at Google are as well, while we've worked over the last two, three years to kind of externalize our infrastructure, we recently announced the addition of Diane Greene, co-founder of VMware to lead a newly formed unit within Google whose sole purpose is to externalize that infrastructure for computing, for all types of computing purposes for organizations of all sizes. We're really excited about that statement of how committed we are to the enterprise, the hiring of Diane Greene makes in that area. And Diane Greene, certainly Palo Alto mom, I've seen him on the sidelines of soccer games in the past. I'll say Mendel, her husband at Stanford, technical family, the brain powers off the charts. Congratulations. But this brings up the whole notion of open source as well, developers in enabling that. You guys are still going to be open source driven, you're still going to partner and integrate well. Absolutely, open source has always been a big part of what we do at Google. We're very committed to open source platforms. Android, of course, is an open source. Chrome is an open source. And so we very much believe in open source as being one of the fuel that keeps computing going the way our founders and many of the people that work at Google would like to see it continue. And so that sort of ethos and that endless desire to investigate and explore and try different areas where technology can make a difference in people's lives, that's what keeps Google going, that's what keeps Larry and Sergey coming to work every day, 15 years into it, and very passionate about it. Well, Sergey's at the new building on San Antonio, the X building, which is Siegel's location where all the cars come out of. Sergey's certainly back at the ranch and Sundar run the store over at Google. I got to ask you about some things like WebRTC. Certainly that is getting a lot of play yesterday and continues to be important. Things like WebRTC, a lot of stuff, these technologies that are not new to Google, and some of them you give away and enable to the marketplace through open source are now becoming key. What's hardened, what's mature, and what's growing that you're excited about that you can point to customers and say, watch these big trends, watch these technologies? Yeah, so obviously video is huge everywhere and just growing, right? We sensed initially the demand for video advertising that led to the YouTube acquisition and at the time, even for two years after the acquisition everybody said, when are you going to start making money off this thing? Obviously, fast forward a few years and it turns out to be an incredibly insightful investment. Similarly, video is becoming more and more pervasive in every type of knowledge acquisition or training or learning and increasingly in the social examples too. And so this focus on video, both real-time and recorded, I think is going to drive a lot of the work that we do in particular on the Hangouts product, but also I think in some other areas that bring video into different parts of the professional life. So while I can't announce anything today, stay tuned, watch this space. We're very excited about some stuff. I am very interested in video. Normally we do a live event, but I mean the video world today is really kind of built on old technologies. Look at CDNs, for instance. I mean, I was doing a survey and trying to figure out the high water mark, but I don't think anyone's cracked the code on 12 million concurrence. I mean, certainly the Super Bowl talked about 50 million viewers. That's not concurrence. So we've got a problem. There's more than 12 million concurrence in the world. So video transit is a big deal. Is that what you're referring to? Well, I think we have done a lot of work on the consumer side of the YouTube platform to make it a video distribution platform at scale. And I think those types of numbers are achievable on the YouTube platform. I think the magic for us comes as we start to bring the YouTube platform into the enterprise context, apply some of the enterprise controls that we've applied to the other products that have been brought into the enterprise space and sort of light up YouTube for the enterprise. That's something that'll come down the road a little bit. But again, it's something that I think is pretty unique that Google has to offer that not many other technology. It's interesting that a lot of the web scale companies have to build stuff on their own and or organic acquisition and organic growth and also acquisition through YouTube. But the enterprise now is a consumerization thing. I mean, in web services, everything is a service as a driver. That's impacting this world of unified communications. And you know, quite frankly, it's kind of old, old school mentality. There's going to be dead bodies and the new players, new school, old school. We've seen some people try to reboot and put lipstick on the pig or cloud wash this new world and fail. I mean, we've seen IBM, for instance, with verse, with email. I just load us notes with some new fresh pain and that they're having their struggles. They got to reboot that thing. So there's a challenge to really be successful. Just want to ask you directly, what do companies need to be, not vendors, but your customers? Because they got to pick a player that's going to be around. In this new world, it's not the old with a new fresh coat of paint on it. It's a new way. What are those things? What should customers look at when they're making architectural decisions, when they're making buying decisions? As they evaluate, what should they look for in their vendors? Yeah, I mean, I think in some ways, looking at a cloud vendor is the same as looking at any other vendor, right? You want to understand sort of what's the financial foundation that the company's built on. You want to understand their technology innovation. But I think ultimately, you also want to look at companies that are able to invest at scale to provide a reliable, secure, and accessible platform. And so you're probably going to be looking at some of the big players here. Certainly some of the small ones that come in may have a very unique and compelling value proposition. Those are ones you need to take a little bit extra scrutiny in terms of a due diligence. I mean, I just say like Oracle and IBM, some of them are horizontal, but some are silos, right? So silos, customers tell me, I don't want a silo. I don't mind vertical integration. I don't want a silo. So that's a dynamic. What other things do you see? Things like that, what do you see? Well, I think you see the customers saying things like, I don't want a silo, but you see the vendor saying, I really do want you siloed because then I have more stuff that I can sell to you later, especially the hardware vendors. That's the old model. That is the old model, but the ones that come from the old model, that's how they're transitioning into the new world. In situations- But you don't think that's effective? No, I mean, I think what you're seeing in cloud is a pay for a consumption type of model, or at least one closer to that than an upfront license model that actually manages to put the risk in the right place versus putting the risk all up front and assuming that all the users are going to get to. And why should you over provision, over pay for something you don't need? Exactly, but that was the model of the past. Now with cloud, we have a much more dynamic flexibility to provision and deprovision users without any significant cost or without any time or resources required. And so now it's easier for the vendors to come up with a pricing model that's more value and consumption. That's awesome. So the next final question for you, or final series of questions is, engagement and data are a big part of certainly the DNA in the Google ethos, but that is now the mindset of customers. As they look at connected devices from IoT to consumers, you can measure everything, right? So hey, what a wonderful thing. So engagement's a user experience issue. Data's a measurement issue. Both can work together, predictive, prescription, all these things come together. What's your thoughts there and how do you see that? And what advice would you give the customers to start thinking about using these new ways to create a better outcome from their business? Yeah, so the first thing that I would say is we tend to take the things we're doing today and kind of map them into a new technology, which may provide some benefit, but I really think that what you're going to start to see are whole new classes of applications that are getting put together. And I think the way you have to get started is literally with like a little innovation lab, a couple of folks that are officially dedicated to experimenting with some of these new technologies with an end goal of kind of jettisoning a few of their projects into more full-fledged deployment. But this notion of very rapid prototyping, obviously extreme focus on the user, which is one of our mantras, and understanding as you seek to develop a solution to a problem that the user has, getting them involved earlier in the cycle. And again, creating these little sandboxes of innovation where people can both use the technology and focus on the user feedback as they're prototyping these things. That's how you got to get started with this new technology. All right, final question. What's the future of work mean to you? For the folks watching CXOs, developers, people who are creating value, what is the future of work? I think the future of work is doing what your company was formed to do and bringing to life the passion that formed the company in the beginning and not have to worry about things like standing up email servers or collaboration platforms, right? Have the technology be provided to you as a service, truly, where all you have to do is pay for it based on usage and not have to worry about all of the technology, infrastructure, setup and maintenance, et cetera. That allows the people in the organization to get back to the mission of the organization, whatever that may be. Final question, Enterprise Connect. This is the premier show for unified communications, a world that is being lifted up by a lot of great forces. What is the big thing happening here at Enterprise Connect this year? What's different this year that you see and what's it look like going forward? One of the big themes that I've heard this year that seems a bit new to me is simplification. And you're even hearing it from the vendors that created the complexity in the first place. So when they start talking about simplification, you know that this is sort of a real mainstream thing. And it brings a little bit of a smile to my inner self because I think that's one of the hallmarks of our products is really, really simple, easy to use, billions of users without any training required. And that allows us to come into an enterprise with typically the less disruption than you might see if you are rolling out a new office suite or a new backend system. Andy, thanks so much for sharing your perspective. Andy from Google here inside theCUBE. On the ground, I'm John Furrier. Thanks for watching.


For the second time in three years, the Grand Rapids volleyball team is headed to the class 3A state tournament. After going 0-2 the first time around, the Thunderhawks are looking to make a deeper run with a new squad. After falling in the section 7-3A final to North Branch last year, the Thunderhawks came back with a vengeance this season and a section title on their minds. For our section it was kind of for anyone to grab to get to state, so we just knew we had to show up and play our hardest and work our hardest every game and just really show up and be the team to take it. The team did just that, winning the title over Cambridge, I-Santi, while dropping only one set during the three game tournament. Our season's been kind of up and down, but the girls have really come together towards the end of the season which helped us with our success in sections. Drawing top ranked Egan in the first round of state, the Thunderhawks have a tough road to endure to secure a state title, but they believe the field is truly anyone's for the taking. We know that it's going to be a very hard game for us, but I think we can do whatever we put our mind to and we'll definitely out work them. That's kind of our goal, so I think it's anyone's game and anyone who ever shows up to play. I have a lot of confidence in us. And if they can play sound, team oriented volleyball, they say there's nothing that can stop them from making a run. It's going to take us working our butts off and just believing in each other. We always have to kind of rise to the challenge and I think it shows a lot about the character of our players. They're really determined to, you know, meet their goals and the things that they've set for themselves this season. And one of them was to get to the state tournament and we're there. But we talked to the girls about the fact that a lot of work went in to get there and they're there now, so it's time to just go and compete as hard as they can.

Good morning traders, Patrick Manley here with another Tick Mill chart hit. Just want to draw your attention to a developing opportunity in the Eurodollar. Obviously we've been on the tear in the Eurodollar and we're now approaching some pivotal levels. We have the equality objective here coming in at 1.1839. We also have the 2.6.1 extension at 1.1833 versus the beginning of this rally structure. What I'm looking for now is a move up to test this ascending trend line resistance and this internal trend line resistance in terms of the channel. I'm looking for a pullback from this 1.1839 to 1.1850 area for a move back down to test 1.16 as support before we make another attempt to take out 1.1830 which I think will fail before we have to test lower before ultimately moving up to 1.20. As always traders, plan the trade, trade the plan and most importantly manage your risk. Until next time, thanks very much.
