When confronted with a challenge, my default is to build systems. So last year, as we hurried to hire 30+ people, I attempted to build a system that would quickly help us find, hire, and grow incredible people. As its worked surprisingly well, to date, I wanted to share a little bit about the program.
HHS stands for Humble, Hungry, Smart and is an anonymous peer-to-peer scoring system that grades each team member on humility
There are 18 questions, 6 for each category, scored 1 to 7, and they are added up to give an A, B, or C score. They cover topics like attitude, body language, readiness, urgency, listening, and more. If team members get an A, we find ways to celebrate; a B we make plans for improvement; if it’s a C we move them onto their next adventure.

A sense of place
Over the next decade, conflicting sportmen’s reports of the size of the Molokaʻi deer population filled the newspapers, some worried over seeing very little deer while others reported run-ins with “droves consisting of between one and two hundred deer.” (The Hawaiian Star, 4/23/1902, pg. 1)
Over the next decade, conflicting sportmen’s reports of the size of the Molokaʻi deer population filled the newspapers, some worried over seeing very little deer while others reported run-ins with “droves consisting of between one and two hundred deer.”
By 1909, a clear polarization of thought and appropriate policies around and for deer in Hawaiʻi plagued the Territorial Legislature. Senate Bill No. 67
Deer at Large!
Whether through heated debates over deer protection on Molokaʻi or through spectacular suggestions for eradication on Oʻahu, Hawaiʻi’s Axis deer in the early 1900ʻs sparked much concern, a theme that would continue to appear, again and again, over the next century. In our upcoming Part III - Lānaʻi and Maui introductions. More deer stories to come.
Finally! After months of strategizing, developing, and anticipation, we’re so excited to launch the new and much-improved Venison 101 in early February.
With comprehensive how-to’s covering everything from fundamentals to cooking methods to flavoring techniques, Venison 101 is your go-to resource for all things venison.
Within this resource, you will also be able to navigate the info you need per cut in our Cut Guide Library.

In short, Venison 101 helps make perfect easy. Stay tuned!
