Show Transcript:

Aloha, citizens of the world. I'm Byron, I'm your host, and we're broadcasting today from an island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, the farthest from any other landmass in the world. Today we're in Honolulu on the island of Oahu. If you think of Hawaii and you think of like surfers and beaches and stuff, this is kind of the quintessential. place where there's just a lot of that, a lot of surfing, a lot of tourism skyscraper buildings, and it kind of, to me, it's, it's very quintessential, but also it's almost like the big city, because where I'm from, and on the big island, the other one of the other islands. There just isn't much going on compared to this place.There's a lot of hustle and bustle as you can see There's a marina here. There's a several of them. There's a lot of boat traffic a lot of people running around big buildings car traffic all that kinds of stuff. So we're here for the weekend. I'm here with zaz my fiance She is at the University of Hawaii today doing a talk with engineering students and I am just chillaxin here in the A.C. in our living room today, which is super nice love that for sure. So, just hanging out, getting a little work done and doing my first podcast while I'm at it. I feel like the first one is the hardest to do of anything, just getting started. So, today, let's get started. So on this episode, what are we gonna talk about?Well, we're gonna talk about me. I'm your host, Byron K. We're gonna have a little talk question and answer. I'm gonna question myself and answer myself. So hopefully it's not too weird. But let's see how it goes. Alright, let's get this show on, this road on the show. So first question, looking back, what is the best advice you would give to your younger self? When you, when you want to do something, do it sooner. If you think you want to do something, do it sooner. I think everything that I've done in my life, I kind of wish I had just done it sooner. Like starting this podcast. I think getting going is probably one of the hardest parts in life, or even ending things.You know, if you know something's not working well, and you, you just don't want to go through the pain of ending it, I think just doing it sooner is probably better. Ripping off the band aid, so to speak. So that would be my advice to my younger self. To sum it up, don't hesitate. That's probably the best way to put it. So what was my life growing up like growing up, and where did I grow up? So, I grew up in Southern California. It was a pretty ideal, idyllic scenario. I grew up in a place called Orange County. It's there used to be orange trees everywhere there. Now it's just houses as far as the eye can see.It's like suburban hell, suburban hell. The weather's pretty nice, but it's just a lot of asphalt, a lot of houses and freeways and it was not a bad place to grow up by any means. It was, it was pretty amazing. For sure. I definitely really enjoyed my childhood and growing up. And so I, I did spend a lot of my time in Southern California growing up.I went to school in, oh, I went, I was in Boy Scouts. So we did a lot of camping and traveling around in Boy Scouts. We rented a pirate ship, a Two Masted Schooner. It wasn't a pirate ship, but Two Masted Schooner. And sailed around the Channel Islands in California when I was in Scouts. And we did canoe trips.And my family was pretty active camping and traveling. So I've been traveling all around I want to
