Elijah Kala McShane, also known as Son of O'ahu, is a devoted Ambassador of Aloha from the sacred islands of Hawai'i. His mission of sharing The Way of Aloha has reached millions worldwide via his social media reach and his work as a demanded speaker, facilitator, and ceremonialist. Elijah's message focuses on three fundamental principles of Hawaiian spirituality: Aloha 'Aina (connection to the land), Aloha Akua (connection to spirit), & Aloha Kanaka (connection to one another).  As a Native Hawaiian on O'ahu, Elijah grew up in a Catholic and Christian context of spirituality that rarely fulfilled his thirst for truth, love, connection, and universal wisdom. This propelled Elijah on a spiritual and cultural quest to rediscover his unique connection to his ancestors, cultural practices, and ways of being through the principle of Aloha. Through consciousness work, healing inter-generational trauma, and creative expression, he developed Awakened Aloha, a multi-faceted organization that works toward "inspiring a world where Aloha is the heartbeat of humanity" where he, alongside his wife, Jazmin, shares the message of Aloha as a transformative principle for self-discovery, connection, and contribution to the planet. Elijah shares a universal message of Aloha that brings forth empowerment, inspiration, and internal transformation within his audience. His engaging and energetic facilitation style immerses his participants in a deep sense of oneness, unity, and connection. With his combination of cultural wisdom, universal spiritual principles, and masterful art of storytelling, thousands of attendees have experienced a profound feeling of being 'Ohana (family) and in oneness with all things in the environment.  He has also been a guest speaker at high schools, non-profit organizations, and communities throughout North America, bringing this transformative message of Aloha. As a ceremonialist and facilitator of sacred space, Elijah has created trauma-informed containers of healing for people suffering from depression, drug addiction, deep-rooted insecurities, and post-traumatic stress. These ceremonies, including the Ke Ala Pili, have been recorded to guide people into a more resonant vibration of life that brings about inspiration, positive change, and inner transformation of self-identity.  His website: https://www.awakenedaloha.org His Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sonofoahu Awakened Aloha's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/awakenedaloha His Pono Settler online course: https://www.awakenedaloha.org/ponocourse ⁠ _______________________________________ Follow me on Instagram @LongDistanceLoveBombs: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/longdistancelovebombs⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Sign up for my weekly newsletter!  Each week, I share a personal story and my favorite books, tunes, articles, and ideas.  Click here: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://longdistancelovebombs.mykajabi.com/email⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

To celebrate the 200th episode of this podcast, I asked my good friend, Traver Boehm, to get weird and do something a bit different. I sent him a text asking him to think about a couple of random things he loves or is inspired by so we could talk about them. Neither of us knew what the other was bringing to the table. A surprising feast ensued. I've long loved the podcast conversations Tim Ferriss has with his pal, Kevin Rose, so I decided to emulate that here. This chat is informal and unpredictable. It's also filled with random stories, lots of laughter, and it's quite different than any other I've done before. Please let me know what you think. If you like it, perhaps I can invite more friends to have similar chats. And a huge and grateful THANK YOU to everyone who listens and shares the podcast. I appreciate you. _______________________________________ Traver Boehm is the author of the books Today I Rise and Man UNcivilized. He’s a two-time TEDx speaker, men’s coach, and the founder of the UNcivilized Men’s Movement. He’s helped men all over the world to become UNcivilized as they wake up to meditate, train their bodies, and blaze their own path by uniquely blending both the primal and the divine within them. He is dedicated to doing his part to help end the suffering in men and the suffering caused by men by guiding them through their own journey into an actualized version of masculinity.

Erin Skye Kelly is a multiple award-winning author who has helped thousands of people pay off millions of dollars in consumer debt and ultimately change their lives, through her online course, Get the Hell Out of Debt. Erin has written two best-selling books: Get The Hell Out Of Debt - The Proven 3-Phase Method That Will Radically Shift Your Relationship With Money Naked Money Meetings - Ending Money Fights With Your Partner Forever In spite of her terrible stage fright and general Canadian awkwardness, she has shared the stage with legendary motivational speakers such as Tony Robbins, Phil Town, and Gary John Bishop. She wrote her first book, Get the Hell Out of Debt, after her own struggle to become free from consumer debt. She was tired of listening to middle-aged men in suits tell her to consolidate and refinance her debt when all that seemed to happen was she’d end up in more of it while they profited from it. Her seminars and workshops are judgment-free zones made up of equal parts personal growth, rock concert, and love. She is hired to work with ordinary humans who want to achieve extraordinary things, and because of her track record helping people create a trajectory of success, the phrase she most often hears when people meet her for the first time is, “Wow. I thought you’d be taller.” Check out her new book, NAKED MONEY MEETINGS: ENDING MONEY FIGHTS WITH YOUR PARTNER FOREVER: https://amzn.to/3LsRrLU Find her on Instagram at @GetTheHellOutOfDebt, and you can see the students who are in the thick of debt rehabilitation or who got the hell out by searching the hashtag, #getthehelloutofdebt.
