important philosophies revolves around pono (doing the right thing). Kupuna believe one of the most important right things, Lindsey said, \u201cshould be fighting for quality of life, and that will benefit everybody and not just somebody walking in here and making a ton of money and walking out. You do not take our abundant resources for your own personal gain.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Although he believes entrepreneurs are learning, \u201cWhen you start digging away at the layers of this onion, you look at the bottom, you see dollar signs. Is it cost effective? How can we bump up profits? It is important to keep these local companies healthy \u2013 but not unbridled. It\u2019s a two-way street.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As with all good things, the privilege of listening to Ed Lindsey, as he sat on a wooden bench under a big shade tree, came to an end with much left unsaid. This soft-spoken man gives his own views willingly, but leaves the listener with the option of accepting them or not.<\/p>\n<p>Lindsey had a couple of suggestions for those looking for ways to enter into the community. \u201cJoin a hula halau (hula school), join a nonprofit. There are lots of Hawaiian non-profits out there. That is how you extend yourself. You bring certain skills, whether you are a doctor, lawyer, a dentist, Indian chief, salesman.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-14 fusion_builder_column_2_3 2_3 fusion-flex-column\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-width-large:66.666666666667%;--awb-margin-top-large:50px;--awb-spacing-right-large:2.88%;--awb-margin-bottom-large:50px;--awb-spacing-left-large:2.88%;--awb-width-medium:66.666666666667%;--awb-order-medium:0;--awb-spacing-right-medium:2.88%;--awb-spacing-left-medium:2.88%;--awb-width-small:100%;--awb-order-small:0;--awb-spacing-right-small:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-small:1.92%;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-justify-content-flex-start fusion-content-layout-column\"><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-3 fusion-sep-none fusion-title-center fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-two\" style=\"--awb-margin-top-small:10px;--awb-margin-right-small:0px;--awb-margin-bottom-small:10px;--awb-margin-left-small:0px;\"><h2 class=\"fusion-title-heading title-heading-center fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" style=\"margin:0;--fontSize:40;line-height:1.1;\">\u201cThis is what you share, and this can be more fulfilling than staying with just birds of a feather.
