Remember those days when bodyboarding was king? When names like Mike Stewart, Jeff Hubbard, and Kainoa McGee dominated our conversations and magazine covers? Hana Ahn certainly does – and he's bringing it all back through the So Stoked Boogie Series and Triple Crown of Bodyboarding.What started as a pandemic pivot has blossomed into a full-fledged movement. When COVID-19 shut down the football programs Ahn coached, his focus shifted to the ocean. "We turned to the water and while doing the water, the boys started to get good at bodyboarding," Ahn explains. This organic return to the waves sparked something bigger – a mission to revitalize a beloved water sport that had faded from prominence.Today, the Triple Crown of Bodyboarding encompasses competitions at legendary spots including Sandy Beach and Pipeline, featuring six divisions from keiki (10-13 years) to professionals. Beyond traditional divisions, Ahn has introduced creative categories like synchronized bodyboarding, where two riders perform identical tricks on the same wave. This comprehensive approach isn't just about competition – it's about rebuilding an entire ecosystem that once supported professional bodyboarding, complete with sponsors, events, and pathways to professional careers.The vision extends internationally too. Ahn has taken groups of young Hawaiian riders to Portugal for the IBC World Tour, where several reached quarterfinals and beyond. "We're trying to build the sport for the youngins," Ahn shares, "so if this is their dream and their passion, they can actually make money off of it." It's a mission to ensure this generation of bodyboarders has the same opportunities – and more – than previous ones.Beyond the waves, Ahn is reviving the cultural scene that once surrounded bodyboarding. Through concert events featuring local artists, he's reconnecting the sport with the vibrant community atmosphere that made bodyboarding not just a sport, but a lifestyle in Hawaii.Ready to catch this wave of bodyboarding revival? Follow @SoStokedBoogieSeries to stay updated on upcoming events, competitions, and how you can support this remarkable resurgence of Hawaii's water culture. Join us at Jolene's Bar and Grill at Kaneohe Bayview Golf Course on Friday, August 11th, for live music featuring Bengali from Innavision, Brotherhood, One Session, and Poi Bo.

Think making money from elopements is impossible? My guest today is here to bust that myth. Vanessa Halliday is an elopement photographer based in the white mountains of New Hampshire. She went from studying kinesiology to being a struggling wedding photographer to having a thriving elopement photography business on the East Coast, and she is sharing her story of how she did it. During the conversation, Vanessa opens up about the challenges she faced in 2023 of being overworked, relying on social media to get bookings, and having crippling anxiety and depression. However, through all of the struggles, she found a turning point. She invested in a business coach and manifested her goals, which helped her achieve the success she had always hoped for. Vanessa went from making $18K in 2023 to already booking $110K in elopements this year alone! Now, she's booked with clients she loves, traveling to national parks, and hoping to retire her fiancé within the next 5 years. She also gives advice to those on the fence about pivoting from weddings to elopements - Take the biggest deep breath of your life and dive in head first. Figure out a way to go and invest in yourself because if you do the work intentionally, you'll absolutely change the inner workings of your business, your mind, and how you operate as a human, and you will find success.

We talk processing, refining, production, China's dominance, how the West can build its supply chain, and individual stock names. This was terrific.

As elopement photographers, our job is more important than you may think. Yes, we are taking beautiful photos, but it's so much more than that.

She also opens up about one of her most meaningful elopements she's ever photographed - a couple planning their wedding after the groom was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. This episode is a reminder that the work we do as elopement photographers matters. Press play now to hear this powerful story.

Yeow! Tej here and I'm super STOKED to bring you this free-flowing conversation with Jason Rosander aka author of the book “Your Mind Is A Prison.” And that's largely because: He is one of my favorite tweeters. Not because his tweets make me feel all warm and comfortable. But because they stab me in the heart and wake me up from the deep slumber that I mistook for life. (Go scroll his feed and you'll see what I mean.) In addition to the above, I also wanted to run this conversation because the majority of people you see online (including me at times) who are pushing content related to enlightenment/spirituality… Are usually wrapped up in ego and/or are people who became “coaches” without having really walked the path fully themselves. Jason isn't like that. At all. He's done the deep and difficult work on himself and made it through the mind and into reality where all the magic resides. So getting the opportunity to run this pod with him was a real joy and I'm even more grateful to be able to share it with you. Inside, we talked about: Why mindset work aka changing your mindset is a waste of time (and how to move beyond it) How your life aligns when you no longer need it to align How to develop the courage to stop managing reality Importance of sitting still and feeling what you don't want to feel Fake spirituality vs. real awakening Jason's awakening/personal stories And so much more. So give it a listen and let me know how it lands for you? It's a BANGER! Your friend, /tej P.S. For more on Jason, check out the below: Bio: Jason is a Veteran, Former Federal Law Enforcement Officer, Personal Trainer, Nutrition Coach, and a climber of mountains. After his mother was murdered while he was in Afghanistan, and an injury that led him to question many things about life, Jason became a student of the mind, and why we do what we do. Specifically, he wanted to understand why we are all so tormented by it. The path was long but has led him to here. Links: Book X Newsletter YouTube

Stoked to have Alex Martin in the studio for Chapter 368. Alex's journey through the sport was anything but typical—starting out as a privateer and grinding his way onto factory teams. He made it to the top through sheer work ethic and a relentless focus on fitness, believing that being the fittest rider on the line gave him the edge he needed. Now retired from pro racing, Alex keeps that competitive fire alive by pushing himself physically and sharing what he's learned through his company, Troll Training. He's helping motocross racers and athletes at all levels take their performance to the next level. This is Alex Martin's story—and how he continues to leave his mark on the sport beyond his racing career.Gypsy Gang!
