Today I'm speaking with Joel Guy. Joel is the Executive Director of the Hanalei Initiative (https://www.hanaleiinitiative.org/). The Hanalei Intiative was founded in 2018 to address the flood of April 2018 which produced 49.69 inches of rain over a 24 hour period, the most ever recorded for that period of time. Joel discusses the new Hanalei Initiative Creative Center, a shared work space in Hanalei, the community response to the flood, the impact of Covid on the local economy, the new north shore bus system, and much more.
