Hilo native Kamaka Dias is that crazy guy who paid off $50k in student loan debt in just under a year! We talk story about how he did that, his new book, how it was growing up speaking Hawaiian as his first language, and more!

Follow @kamakadias8 on IG, FB, and YT. Purchase his book "So Far" on Amazon and find him being a host for Hawaiiverse, an online directory for local businesses.

#theCNP - Hosted by Ashton Nicolas, the Creative Natives Podcast features curated conversations about music, art, culture, and business. Tune in as we talk story with creatives from the islands and abroad. Explore the minds of musicians, artists, cultural practitioners, community organizers, and creative entrepreneurs.

Our mission is to cultivate conscious "co-liberation" between BIPOC and to provide a space to showcase our stories and creative works. We hope to inspire the next generation to feel empowered by their creativity, culture, and local community.
