From Online Friendship to Island Business

Lesson: Partnerships Can Start Anywhere

‍A few years ago, I met Nym Raske through online calls—what began as casual chats evolved into a genuine brotherhood. Fast forward three years, and here we are together in Kona, making his dream of Kona Cliffs a reality alongside our partner, Brian Roesler. It’s proof that you don’t need a formal boardroom or fancy conference to spark a thriving business. Sometimes, a great idea and a strong bond are all it takes.

Insight: When Visions Align, Possibilities Multiply

‍Our journey underscores the power of shared passion. Whether you’re both crazy about rock climbing or just vibe with each other’s hustle, the right partner can help transform a dream into something tangible. One big lesson I’ve learned? The best collaborations happen when each person’s strengths complement the other’s—especially if you can mix a little island living into the equation.
