John Hope Bryant explains what it means to be an “operating entrepreneur” as he records from a quiet late-night retreat in Wailea, Maui, to show how silence fuels thinking and wealth creation. Responding to a viral clip about poor neighborhoods being noisy and wealthy ones quiet, he argues the real divider is economics (“green”), not race, and that poverty removes peace, time, and mental bandwidth. He links stability and quiet to focused attention, strategy, ideas, intellectual property, ownership, assets, wealth, wellness, and longevity, citing Operation HOPE’s Financial Wellness Index showing higher credit-score neighborhoods correlate with longer life expectancy. He warns smartphones and the attention economy recreate “noise” anywhere, urges protecting attention, prioritizing the important over the urgent, and moving from labor to ownership by creating and owning ideas.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Edo Tanas joins the show after an incredible Hawaiian race season capped by his third straight Molokai 2 Oahu victory. We dig into the training, mindset and equipment development behind his season, including his move to Slingshot, how his approach to fitness and recovery has evolved, and the changing technique and gear at the highest level of downwind racing. Edo also tells the wild story of his Hawaiian island-chain project—foiling from the Big Island to Maui, Maui to Oahu and Oahu to Kauai on back-to-back days, including a seven-hour stretch on foil and some genuinely sketchy moments alone in the open ocean. Then we break down this year's brutal M2O, where Edo struggled to even get on foil at the start, watched the field disappear, and methodically worked his way back through the pack to take the win. It's a great conversation about racing, risk, efficiency, confidence, and just how quickly downwind foiling continues to evolve.

Tropical Storm Lala has left a devastating mark from Hilo to Hanalei, leaving thousands of residents scrambling to salvage what they can from flooded homes. With schools shut down and over a hundred thousand Hawaiian Electric customers still in the dark, the islands are facing a massive uphill battle.

Chris J. Evans photographs some of the most over-the-top luxury and destination weddings in the world.  Maui to Malta to Lake Como and in this episode he pulls back the curtain on the biggest shift the wedding industry has seen in years: Gen Z is here, and they want something completely different.Chris gets honest about the year his fifteen-year growth streak stalled, the 15 strikeouts in a row that forced him to change, and the single messaging tweak that flipped it back to 15 bookings in a row. We dig into why these couples care less about the polished, romantic "your love story" imagery and more about the collective story of their people — the party, the tribe, the peak-energy gathering of everyone they love.From there it turns into a masterclass on something bigger than photography: how to become the vendor every planner wants in the room. Chris shares how he builds planner relationships that last, why taking work off the planner's plate is the whole game, and the tiny two-second acts of service, wiping down a wet bench, handing umbrellas to the moms in the front row that have booked him entire clients. It all comes back to one idea he lives by, borrowed from the Ritz Carlton: we are ladies and gentlemen serving ladies and gentlemen.If you're a few years into your business and confident behind the camera but still fighting the fear of "missing the shot," this one will reframe how you think about your real job on a wedding day.WHAT YOU'LL LEARNWhy 65–70% of Chris's couples are now Gen Z, and how their expectations differ from millennial clientsThe messaging and imagery shift that took him from 15 losses to 15 bookings in a rowWhy the day has moved from an 80/20 to a 90/10 workflow — and what that means for how you shootHow to build wedding planner relationships that actually last (and why 99% of his bookings come through them)The hospitality mindset that makes you unforgettable and books you more workHow to get past the insecurity of "missing the shot" and lead with presence insteadWhy Gen Z wants real over perfect, grain, nostalgia, imperfect, and rad and how to lean into itWhether you shoot weddings, brands, or families, Chris will leave you thinking differently about the experience you create,  not just the images you deliver.This episode is brought to you by PhotoCo,  the community, education, and coaching space built to help photographers grow businesses that actually last.

The Shifting Focus Experience: https://john-bunn.com/the-shifting-focus-experience  Chris J. Evans went from photographing more than 100 weddings a year on Maui to building an international destination photography brand where multi-day wedding collections now start between $35,000 and $50,000. But that transformation didn't happen simply because he became a better photographer. In this episode of Shifting Focus, Chris and I break down the decisions that changed the trajectory of his career: getting clear on what made his work different, intentionally building a fashion-forward brand, raising his prices, investing in the right rooms, and developing genuine relationships with planners and other people who could open new doors. Chris shares how attending his first Engage introduced him to an entirely different level of the wedding industry, how he rebuilt his network after moving from Maui to California at the beginning of COVID, and how one relationship eventually led to photographing Robin Roberts' wedding and opportunities around the world. We also talk about what happens after you've already built a successful career. Chris shares why refinement matters more than constantly reinventing yourself, how he's adapting his imagery for a new generation of clients, and why today's couples don't just want to see what a wedding looked like. They want to feel what it felt like. If you're trying to move into a new market, raise your prices, strengthen your brand, or get into rooms that feel one level above where you are today, this conversation is packed with perspective on what that progression actually looks like.

Executive Order 9066 put roughly 120,000 Americans of Japanese descent behind barbed wire with the machine gun posts pointed inward. No charges, no trial. Many of the men in those camps volunteered for the US Army anyway, and the unit they formed became the most decorated in American military history for its size and length of service. Chris Cheng spent six years researching them. He joins us to talk about his new novel, The Purple Heart Battalion, why "internment" is the wrong word, and why the president who signed that order still gets a pass.

THE WRITTEN RECAP The age of the trickster Every civilization has a name for him. The Polynesians call him Maui. The Norse, and Marvel, call him Loki. The Greeks named him Odysseus. Paul describes him in Ephesians 4:14 as human cunning. The trickster is never direct. He is always disguised. What looks like a gift can carry an army. What looks like peace can hide a war. And once you've survived enough Trojan Horses, you stop trusting gifts altogether. Every apology might have an agenda. Which is where we find ourselves. We've learned the language of peacemaking without living the virtues of peacemaking. We know the words: forgiveness, boundaries, accountability. We can even have ChatGPT write our apology texts. The problem is that it can give us the script but never the soul. Techniques, devoid of transformation, are just a bag of tricks. But Paul isn't only preaching about the manipulators out there. He warns us about the manipulator in here. When you've been manipulated, it gets easy to justify retaliation. Which is why he gives us the posture before he ever gets to the process. "Without the posture of Christ, peacemaking is no longer a practice that matures us, but a ploy to manipulate others." Ephesians splits right down the middle. Chapters 1 through 3 tell us what Christ has done. Chapter 4 opens with therefore. Peace has been received. Here is how peace gets practiced. Paul gives us the posture in four steps. But it isn't a staircase you climb up. It's steps you go down. Because ever since Genesis 3, humanity has been climbing. We climb for significance, for status, for control. And when someone hurts us, we don't want to move toward them. We'd rather tower over them. But reconciliation happens at eye level. Every virtue Paul names is another step down. The good news is not that we found a way up to God's level, but that God came down to ours. "Peace was made when God took the first step down. So it shouldn't surprise us that Paul's first instruction to peacemakers is to start coming down too."

Ramit Sethi of I Will Teach You To Be Rich speaks with Nicole and Drew, 39 and 40, who are expecting their first child in just two weeks. They split their time between Southern California and Maui, where they each own a home. Nicole bought her house after Drew made it clear that continuing to stay with roommates was not an option. Today, they earn $296,700 a year, own $1.25 million in assets, and have a net worth of more than $500,000. But their two homes consume over 40% of their income, and once their numbers are corrected, their fixed costs rise to 85%. Despite their high income, they feel unable to eat out, attend concerts, or enjoy the life they have worked to build. Nicole is a psychology professor who plans everything down to the dollar and worries about having enough savings. Drew is a life coach and therapist-in-training who admits that she often goes by “vibes” and trusts that things will work out. With a baby arriving and their savings falling, they must decide whether Drew can realistically double her income or whether they need to sell the Maui house. In this episode, we uncover: • Why Nicole bought a house within months of Drew's housing non-negotiable • How they ended up supporting two homes in two different states • Why earning nearly $297,000 still leaves them feeling financially trapped • Their $1.25 million in assets and nearly $1 million of debt • Why their fixed costs jumped from 77% to 85% • How their two homes consume more than 40% of their income • Nicole's numbers-first approach and Drew's habit of going by “vibes” • How grad school, flooding, and a $29,000 sewer repair drained their savings • Why the baby may not increase their expenses as much as expected• How Nicole's sabbatical gives them a temporary financial window • Why their Maui house is co-owned without a clear written agreement • Whether Drew can realistically double her income after graduating • Why depending on one future income increase is a major financial risk• How selling the Maui house could release around $150,000 • Why selling could reduce their fixed costs to approximately 65% • How they could keep Maui in their lives without owning property there • How they can build a plan that does not require everything to go perfectly • Why “spaciousness” becomes the center of their new Rich Life vision • The decision Ramit believes they need to make before their savings fall further Chapters (00:00:00) Introduction (00:03:09) Two homes in two different states (00:07:03) Nicole kept her housing costs at just 12% (00:08:18) Drew's housing non-negotiable changed everything (00:14:43) Nicole tracks the numbers, Drew goes by “vibes” (00:21:26) What does their Rich Life actually look like?
