There’s something surreal about being invited as a guest on the No BS Agency Podcast with Pia Silva—my coach, my mentor, and the founder of the very program that has been a game-changer for my business and brand evolution over the past two years.
For me, this wasn’t just a podcast.
It felt like a full-circle moment.
Like winning the Advanced Achievement Award when I graduated from Full Sail with my Master’s in Media Design. Like being chosen to deliver the commencement speech. Like someone saying, I see how hard you’ve worked—and it’s making an impact.
I don’t play halfway. I never have.
But that’s not about perfection. It’s about preparation.
It’s about pushing myself to keep learning, evolving, and staying ahead of the curve—not for ego—but for service.
Because I do have FOMO.
Not the kind that makes me scroll social.
The kind that whispers—What if I fall behind? What if I become irrelevant? What if I can't give my clients my very best?
So I go all in.
To stay sharp.
To stay clear.
To be the kind of strategist and creative partner who builds timeless, relevant, scalable brands that my clients can confidently grow with.
That’s why hiring Pia Silva as my coach and joining the No BS Agency was one of the best decisions I’ve made.
And being invited on Pia’s podcast? That was a meaningful accomplishment I didn't see coming. It was more than a moment—it was a mirror. A reminder that the way I show up matters. And that being seen as someone who gives their all isn’t just who I was… it’s still who I am.
I’ve always believed in going beyond surface-level branding. I help founders anchor into who they really are—so they can attract who they’re really meant to serve.
Because when we build from truth, we don’t chase. We align. We connect. We magnetize.
That’s what HOKU is all about.
And it’s why this conversation with Pia means so much to me.
If you’ve ever felt the pull to grow, to realign, to serve at a higher level while staying rooted in your truth—I invite you to listen in.
This is a piece of my story. A behind-the-scenes glimpse into what drives me.
Because when you build a brand like a North Star—it doesn’t just shine.
It leads.
