“So we have a very unique schedule for our team members. And all of our team members work seven days on, seven days off. And they get a great compensation package, great benefits. And it was originally designed to deal with flipping back and forth from the sleep schedule. All our harvesting operates at night. And we wanted to give our harvesters enough space to essentially like recover and feel good and be able to come back to work. And when we started to grow, we decided to keep that system for essentially almost all of our field and butcher staff, like the vast majority of who we are. And it's turned into this extraordinary.”

“Just being honest here You're not that good. How did you get a contract in Europe? And I said, Well, I just called everybody till they kept answering. And was kind of working with this other player agency. Anyway, found a great way to find mediocre players, teams. And some of them were only getting a thousand euros a month, but they didn't care. It was the best thing ever. And then got a small percentage of that salary. And yeah, it was an amazing way to kind of extend that life. And it was a lot of fun”

“When I was planning in Indonesia, we had a Brazilian guy that spoke even less English than me, and he, after my third day of asking for free pizza, he came up to me and he was like, thank you so much. I wouldn't know what's going on unless you were like asking these questions. And now it just translates to like last week we're building an API, which I have no idea what the hell this thing. And like, I just kept saying like, I have no idea what you're talking about. I kind of had a clue, but I could see like the blank looks on the Zoom calls. Nobody knew what they were talking about.”

“I use that phrase as I went to Indonesia and the Mal dies, and it was this amazing way for me to ask dumb questions Because otherwise, I was lost and it has translated to one of, and I know you've talked about this in the past, it's translated to one of these small superpowers that I have where I am never afraid now to ask the dumbest question in front of some of the smartest people. Through kind of that practice, and it really is. It's a superpower.”

“I was like, does that mean we get free pizza after the game? He's like, no, that's not what it means. And then you could kind of see his brain be like, and he explained, like, no, we're going to be committing on this individual. Like, he explained it in English to me. Half an hour goes by, he's like getting ready to tell us the bus schedule. It's all in Dutch. I have no idea what's going on. And I'm like, put my hand up. And he's like, does that mean we get free pizza? He's just like, he's getting irritated, and then he, I think it finally collected, is like, wait a second, we need to be a little bit more patient with this guy. And I tell it as a funny story because.”

“Completely screw it up, like embarrassing levels screw up. And we lose. And after the game, he comes aside in broken English and he's just like, you play better or we fire you. You weren't playing for fun anymore in college, like you were getting paid to play really well. And I didn't understand the reason I didn't play well is because I didn't couldn't understand what he was saying. So the very next day we were reviewing film and he was going off again and I didn't understand what it was. And I just remember putting my hand up and say like, does that mean we get free pizza after the game? And he was like, what?”

“I had had like a week of practice, and our first game was coming up, and I was still very much like getting used to the language. The coach was this like six, eight Olympic legend. He was like this legendary Dutch player. And I think he was kind of happy I was there, but like I was just another player and you're paid to be there. So you play really well.”

“Yeah, it's huge. So, volleyball is kind of the second sport to football or soccer. So you were associated with another club and you just got basically spillover of all the soccer fans or football fans. But a huge professional league there that for great players pays extraordinarily well. And for me, which was not a great player, was this amazing opportunity to go to Europe, see all of these different places. And the professional teams only ever accepted two international players. So you were embedded and immediately assimilated into whatever culture you were in. It's just such an amazing way to be a part of those places versus some outsider, right? So that leads into the story of free pizza. So my first week playing in Honigen, which was in Northern Holland,”

“Here's a great sport for you to try. Ended up falling in love with it just an extraordinary sport, redirecting balls moving 100 plus miles an hour. Luckily got pretty good at it, spent a lot of time with our Canadian national teams in different forms, and then was recruited to play at the University of Hawaii. I was a decent enough player. I actually think it was, I sent them a video of surfing. We started surfing on the east coast of Canada when we moved out there. And there's like six feet of snow and a tiny little like ice floating around. And they're like, well, if this kid can do this, you'll probably turn into a good briefer, played four or five years there where became a family member for that family of mole.”

“So that three year hunt was the springboard into successful project completion in that place where there's still no deer and potentially have had a massive impact. And then the springboard to Maui to try and do something more.”

“Similar pattern. So it started the, well, wait a second, if you can be successful with a project at that scale, what can you do over here on Maui? And that was actually the first phone call to the USDA to say, how do we use these animals? Because they were talking about having us remove thousands and thousands of animals and they didn't care what we did with them. They knew there wasn't a solution. We couldn't use them for food and we couldn't donate them. Like they still need to come under some type of like food safety inspection program in order to donate them to food banks and stuff. So that was the first call to the USDA to say we'll wait a second. What would be the process? Because there were no rules in place.”

“Folks on Maui said, like, if you can do that, come over here, and they were still calling them spotted rats. Like that was their relationship. They had been introduced to Maui in 1959 and 1960. So they weren't as culturally ingrained as they are on Molocai.”

“Because a lot of people do that, right? And then they multiply it out. Yeah, so they do something called distance sampling, which is they fly a certain number of transects and then use math to basically extend what they've found and make a guess over a period. We do a complete transect of the entire area at 400 meters with a 20% overlap so we can have a confidence interval of like the number of times we've detected deer twice. We have done several projects where it's in a large fenced area of a couple thousand acres and we survey we remove deer. We survey again and we're never off by more than like 5%. So we have a tool that can accurately tell us the exact number of deer and the impact of our management. And it's a tool. It's just super important because Otherwise, I think what we do is would be irresponsible without that level of data.”

“And they do an amazing job, Hawaii is doing better, but they've done a very poor job over the years in restricting what's coming into the island. So back to that three-year hunt. So successful in removing an invasive species that there could have been a million plus axis deer on the big island. That's how large the big island is and would have been absolutely devastating as we've talked about before, like food systems, watersheds, nearshore fisheries, et cetera, et cetera. And then that was actually the... Jumping off point for what is now Mauinui is Some ranchers on Maui said, Well, wait a second, you guys actually did that. And you have this technology. So what we also developed with that third technology is highly accurate surveys. So within 95%, we can tell you exactly the number of deer that are there.”

“They came to the dock Like they're introducing them to each island. They came to the dock, and somebody at the dock was smart enough and he like booted them off and drowned them. He like booted them off the dock and drowned them. And it's just this amazing contrast of you can't find a chicken on another island on the side of the road and you can drive on Kauai and see a thousand chickens in. 30 minutes on the side of the road.”

“Yeah, well, I've got lots of those stories Anyway, takes us another two years, essentially, about utilizing that technology, we're able to find and remove all of those deer, including the two that had been born. And there were very few invasive species. There is a new species being introduced every eight days at this point. Oh my God.”

“So, this particular technology was significantly increases detection rates both from the ground but from a helicopter platform as well, especially when looking straight down, you don't have the vertical layering of vegetation. You're able to kind of look straight down through vegetation and pick up different heat signatures. That's actually how we ended up finding them after the camera trap image is we started flying on a constant basis and then we figured out where they were took a week to kind of put a plan together and then we were able to remove.”

“I think we were doing 10 meters massive areas. But what we also did in the process, which we'll move into our later story, is we had to find a way to increase detection rates. And so we started and it was such a huge emergency that the military was involved as well. So we got to work with the military and utilize some of their forward-looking infrared, both helicopter-mounted and binoculars. And the minute we started using that tool, we knew instantly like this is the tool that's going to be able to like find these animals.”

“Yeah, we ended up removing five, but it was this extraordinary exercise. It took us seven months. Think you go on like an average hunt, like it's three or four days and you're already tired. It took us seven months to get a camera trap image of the first one. We had 50 plus camera traps out over every piece of water we could find in this like 100 square mile area. We hiked every day.”

“So they'll find these little cubby holes, these safe areas, and they'll kind of completely denue these areas and they move on to these next places. But for the project on the Big Island, which was literally a three-year hunt, we work every single day except Sunday for three years to find these four animals”

“And they, I think, because they didn't deal with some of the evolutionary stresses of like seasons in India, they've also developed this amazing ability to adapt their home ranges to very safe areas. On a typical home range could be like a mile and a half to three miles in a given day. But when they find a safe spot, they will stay in a very small area for an extended period of time.”

“So the Access to Institute, which was what I started in college initially as a means to collect information because Way to learn more and facilitate some research. For Axis deer were illegally introduced to the Big Island of Hawaii. So we've talked about Moloka Ilanai and Maui. So four Axis deer were illegally introduced to the big island of Hawaii, which was about 10 years ago. And the big island is, it's called the Big Island for a reason, all of the Hawaiian islands can fit inside the Big Island. And it is also like the food hub of Hawaii. We grow all of our, like the vast majority of food on the big island. The impacts of access here were already really well known. So it was a state emergency when these animals were found. And the Axis Steer Institute happened to be one of the few people that knew a lot about Axis Deer. So we were given that responsibility and contract to try and find and remove Ford from a hundred square mile area. So they didn't know where they were.”

“Like a thousand to six thousand feet is where our food systems in Hoa are. So it's where cattle ranchers operate and farmers and coffee and all of these different really important as a function of food security, like all these amazing foods that we're trying to grow there. And you can't grow them unless you have a 10 foot fence at $45 a foot. And even then, like.”

“So, when you think about it from like a, they call it Mokatu Makai, but like mountain to ocean impact, all of that denuded landscape is anytime we get any type of like significant rain, even like a decent, like a medium rain these days, it's pulling all of that topsoil, which took thousands of years to make. And then it's depositing it on our reefs. And what ends up happening is they're smothering both like new and old coral and the coral dye. So there's huge tracks of what used to be some of the most pristine reefs in the world that are now dead. And that also then impacts nearshore fisheries. So we just had this amazing conversation about producing millions of pounds of fish pre-Western contact. And now a lot of those reef systems are being like very negatively impacted by that sediment deposit from runoff. And then when you look back up slope, mid-range called”

“They are able to, because they can eat so closely to the ground in such large numbers, there can be herds of like four to five thousand. They're able to denude landscapes in days. And the real issue with that is when they do that in our watershed areas, our high elevation areas, those trees developed over epochs thousands and thousands of years to capture water. And what ends up happening is When we have like some data from this from a recent study, those watersheds are operating at 50% of their previous capacity.”

“70,000, and there's only 7,000 people. It's actually one of the reasons I got so interested in the subject as a whole is I think it was my second year in college and introduced this amazing family. And I was there hunting, trying to fill up my freezer for college because I was broke. And I was there during a die-off. And I remember coming around this corner and seeing 40 to 50 animals just like lying there lethargic, essentially dying of malnutrition. And it was an animal that was introduced to me as like something to love and it was precious like for the people of Moloka it was this amazing food source but it's just this that's the only way they're currently balancing populations is just this really sad thing that happens every over”

“Yeah, I'm Molika in India. They certainly did. So no natural predators, the capability to breed year-round extraordinary food sources and being able to move up and down elevation to find what they need. So on the island of Molokai, where they were introduced, they're now at a sustainable capacity is the wrong word, but their population is only going up and down with available feed every year. And what's happening is they just have massive die-offs.”

“And as early as 1898, there's literature that says they hired sharpshooters from California. Oh, that was 1902. They brought sharpshooters in from California because there was already six to seven thousand of them. And what's really unique about Axis Deer is they're one of the only deer species in the world that can breed year-round. So most other deer species will cast their antlers. Their antlers fall off for the year. And when that happens, their testosterone levels drop significantly and their sperm is no longer viable. So access to one of the only deer species in the world that sperm stays viable year round. So it doesn't matter if a doe is mistinestris. The current math that we have is they are 94 to 95% of them are either lactating or pregnant year-round. So they just introduced an extraordinarily virile species and have had profound”

And then they were moved from Oahu where they landed and they were moved to the small island of Molokai, only 40 miles long, 10 miles wide. And then a kapu, which is a restriction was placed on them for about 15 to 20 years.”

And she continues to help point me back to like, oh no, no, no, like we're going to figure this out. We're a part of this place. Like we're going to figure out how to find balance in these places. Yeah, they just had some amazing, both agricultural system, but also like economics and social systems. They had a particular system called an Ahupa system. And it was mountain to ocean land segregations that entire communities lived in and managed. And they were managed as like these individual land segments. And the entire system was built from top to bottom to protect water. Every feature of that system, how the food was grown, how it entered the water, everything was built to maintain good clean water.”

So I don't know if you remember when you were there, but there's these huge rock walls that come out into the ocean near shore. Some of them like 600 acres. And they had these amazing aquaculture systems where they were able to harvest fish constantly. And they said at peak performance, there were 500 plus fish ponds across the Hawaiian Islands, producing 3 million pounds of fish.”

They are producing now yields 60% better than current sweet potato yields. And you have to imagine pre-Western contact, there were up to a million people in the Hawaiian Islands. And there's only 1.4 million people now. So they had a million people on the most isolated landmass on the planet and they were feeding like an extraordinary population with extremely finite resources and somehow were able to maintain all of the biodiversity that I think they only know of like a couple small species like a flightless bird that was just too easy to eat. Like they maintained extraordinary biodiversity, which”

They have the actual boats, the canoes that were settled from Hawaii. They know like the lineage of like who came on the boat and they know where the boats are. They have them hidden and they know where the boats are. And that's how strongly they can connect their ties back to Hawaii. And you just have to imagine that somebody that could navigate the Pacific with that much ease and accuracy and it's extraordinary to hear these stories. They also were dealing with they're on the most isolated landmass on the planet with the most finite resources.
