5. Kamalani Pico: Growing up in Moloka'i, starting her own business, and endless determination.

Kamalani Pico is a small-town girl from the island of Moloka'i. She is a signed actress, model, fashion designer and business owner of her own clothing company called SSAVVY. She is also the first Native-Hawaiian ring girl for Bellator MMA, an American mixed-martial arts promotion. But, don't let her resume and fierce looks on her Instagram fool you, because this local girl is not afraid to get her hands dirty as she enjoys hobbies such as hunting, fishing, diving, and gardening -- which she says is more of a way of life than hobbies. In this episode we talk about what it was like growing up on Moloka'i, her hard childhood, her crazy stories that lead her to modeling, and her determination to pursue a better life outside of her hometown.  Enjoy the episode!
