Bryan Murphy · Owner & Host

I’ve been podcasting since early 2019. What I enjoy most is talking with people who help us understand Hawaii a little better. That’s the approach I bring to partnerships, too: a useful conversation, a clear story, and a reason for listeners to care.

You don’t need to arrive with a campaign planned out. I’ll learn about your brand and marketing goals, then recommend a few approaches we can explore together.
