  Live Pono Love Pono Episode 64: Holding Space for Men's Mental Health with David Nisthal

  Sep 30, 202648 min

  In observance of the closing of Suicide Prevention Month, we sit down with David Nisthal, an instructor at the UH Mānoa Thompson School of Social Work & Public Health, for an urgent conversation on men's mental health. This episode explores how the heavy societal pressure to be "man enough" turns inward, driving emotional isolation and contributing to a devastating gap in male suicide rates. Listen in to learn how storywork can help reframe vulnerability and how we can take the concept of collective healing into our communities to build supportive, judgment-free communities.

  Live Pono Love Pono Episode 63: Kainoa Kaeha on his Film, "Falling", and the Crisis of Men's Mental Health

  Sep 15, 202630 min

  In this episode, we explore how societal expectations and the intense pressure to force emotional suppression and isolation among young men. To help us unpack this, we are joined by former Leeward CC Student Life rockstar and current UH Mānoa Presidential Scholar, Kainoa Kaeha! Kainoa is the absolute perfect example of what can happen when you give it your all at Leeward CC and bridge successfully into Mānoa. He breaks down exactly what goes into receiving the Presidential Scholarship and navigating the honors program. We also dive deep into the making of his honors senior project, the short film Falling . Kainoa shares his incredible journey—from writing the initial script in his screenwriting class to reading it in his independent producing class, to creating it! He gives us a behind-the-scenes look at the practical side of filmmaking, from learning the ropes of producing to officially going into production in January 2026, all with the amazing support of his advisors. We hope you leave this episode feeling as inspired by Kainoa’s story as we are. Catch Falling on the big screen! Kainoa's film is screening at the Pacific Island Film Festival on September 17th, and heading to California for the Catalina Island Film Fest the following week!
