OK. I'm gonna try and jump around here with dates because I've been so busy these past week but I did do something cool yesterday. I interviewed Lanai of Lanai and Augie fame.
I feel like a lot of people younger than me may not know who he is because I grew up listening to him and Augie T. on the radio and understanding Lani to be Augie's best friend as Augie grew into a larger solo act. Upon doing research for my interview with him, I learned that Lanai owns a slew of businesses including a coffee line, wine line, a food truck and travel club amongst other things. He is a very interesting entrepreneur who has survived the death of radio as we see it today.
These days he does 100% of his marketing and advertising for his businesses on social media as opposed to old forms of mass communication like radio, newspaper or TV. Although Lanai does appear on TV, he creates video content to license, which I think is a genius idea.
To get a better idea of who Lanai is than I can explain in this one post, check out his cooking show called "Cooking Hawaiian Style" or watch his emmy winning video "Ramen Yokocho."
