Welcome to the very first episode of the Fly Float Hustle Podcast! In this episode, I sit down with my longtime friend Reid Shimabukuro, a retired firefighter and successful entrepreneur, to discuss his inspiring journey.
We dive deep into the recent L.A. wildfires, exploring the challenges faced by first responders and the importance of community support. Reid shares his unique perspective on the fires, offering insights and dispelling misconceptions.
We also explore Reid's entrepreneurial journey, from starting a wakeboarding business to founding the Ho'omau Fire Academy, a career development program that invests in local talent and provides pathways to first responder careers.
This episode is packed with valuable lessons and inspiration for anyone looking to turn their passion into profit, make a difference in their community, and live a life of adventure and purpose. It's a testament to the "hustle" mentality and the Fly Float Hustle spirit - overcoming challenges, embracing opportunities, and maximizing life.
