This time out, Haz-Matt is talking with Kate from Rogue Wave Toys. Kate has designed a set of beach toys that are colorful, fun, and highly functional along with being compostable and sustainable! Her inspiration began on the east coast, but really picked up energy while living here in Hawaii. Now, she's taken it from an idea, to a fully functional product that has the potential to replace many forms of plastic. It's a fun talk about following an entrepreneurial path and not realizing successes until you see how far you've come. Make sure to check out roguewavetoys.com for all the details!

Aloha! It's time again for an Amazing! Comic Con Aloha takeover of The AM Mayhem. This time around, our first conversation is with Sam Campos. He's forged a DIY path for comic book creators in Hawaii as the creator of Pineapple Man and now he's helping creators bring their books to the convention. He's brought a couple of his students from his Kaaawasaki Art Lab, known as The Left Handed Dragons. All three of these talents have new issues debuting at the convention this year, so be sure to stop by their booth to check them out!

Aloha! Thanks for tuning in to another episode of Locally Sourced. Many of the people we talk to art creative types - artists and performers, but they all find themselves needing something extra to take their hobby to the next level. They need to be entrepreneurs. It's in that spirit we're talking to Aga and Ursula from emPOW-HER, a group dedicated to helping women entrepreneurs kick start or level up their side hustle or main business venture. Give a listen if you're looking for a new way to approach applying your passion to a business world.

On this Locally Sourced we've got Chad from Crappy Kids. You've probably seen his adorable smiling poops (can't believe I just wrote that) on shirts, stickers, and more over the past 10 years of the brand. He and Haz-Matt talk about the brand's origin; how it shows off his fandom, humor, and philosophies; and how all of that lives on social media. Up-and-coming marketers and influencers should definitely take notes. Thanks for listening!
