When You Heal the Ripple, You Heal the World: Hawaiian Wisdom for Purpose‑Driven Business w/James

True forgiveness isn’t a moment. It’s a journey that circles back until release becomes peace.”

Do you ever wonder what it takes to run a business with a servant’s heart—to lead with purpose instead of just profit? In this episode Steve Ramona talks with James Kawainui, a Hawaiian keeper of ancient wisdom, about Hono Pono prayer,—the traditional Hawaiian practice of restoring right relationships through responsibility, listening, and spiritual alignment.

James shares how his ¨ohana culture, the sacred ceremony ofHono Pono prayer,, and his own journey from pain to purpose shaped his mission. We’ll feel the weight of his grandmother’s voice, the ocean’s presence, the whale’s eye, and a calling from ancestors to reclaim harmony—in ourselves, in business, in community.

You will leave this conversation with tools to first see your patterns, then take responsibility, and finally reunite with others in peace—tools you can walk into action. Whether reconciliation with someone in your life, or simply forgiving yourself, you’ll sense that ripple of healing is possible.

P.S. As you go into your day after this episode ask yourself: what small act of kindness or courage can I do to restore right relationship—within me, or with someone else? Make that your purpose today.
