In this episode of The Authority Company Podcast, host Joe Pardavila talks with Davin Kazama, an entrepreneur, real estate investor, and leadership mentor whose philosophy blends family, humility, and the Hawaiian spirit of aloha. Drawing from three generations of entrepreneurs, Davin shares how his grandfather’s grit, his father’s wisdom, and his own dedication to family shaped his leadership style and life purpose. They discuss Davin’s book, Making Waves: Inspiring Transformational Leadership Through Positivity, Persistence, and Aloha, and unpack the meaning of “leading with aloha”—leading with compassion, service, and authenticity. Davin reflects on the lessons of resilience passed down from his immigrant grandparents, the balance between ambition and gratitude, and how the Hawaiian concept of ohana (family) guides how he builds teams and relationships. From ringing the NASDAQ bell to teaching his daughters about legacy, Davin’s story is a masterclass in leading with heart while staying true to your roots.
