Human connections over commercial profits. Shared Human connections over commercial profits. Shared abundance begins with a community and purpose, fueled by #Aloha. Keep enjoying these epic days with the people you love most — it’s an amazing time to be alive. #ExchangeAve #Human #Hawaii
Community abundance begins with an #AhupuaaMindset Community abundance begins with an #AhupuaaMindset. @okaa_san shares her story of exchange. 🙏🏽 —— Food is medicine 🌈✨ this rainbow box from my friends at @letsgrowfarmshi has all of my favorites: kale, baby watercress, rambutan, lychee, papaya, limes, oranges for eating and juicing, carrots, goya bittermelon, and Japanese cucumber— we couldn't wait to make the carrots and cucumber into quick pickles for tonight's BBQ! All locally grown by people I hold close to my heart. A year ago, I reached out to the founder of @exchangeave after hearing his pitch at @purple_maia's demo day. John's vision for a food sovereign Hawaiʻi and a system that relied more on pilina and community than simply money spoke to me. And EA's core values are similar to my own—they shaped the way I navigated through the pandemic, actively seeking out community opportunities and connection. Grow your own food, support those that locally grow what you can't or don't, and share what you have with others in need—no waste! I'm grateful to meet so many folks who feel the same. Seeing connections like these form across neighbors, ahupuaʻa and even entire islands makes me think that many of the lessons imparted from Hawaiʻi's plantation era never truly left us. What would my great-grandmother Hatsuyo say about us packing daily bento, wearing zori to the market down the road, sewing with scrap fabric cause neva like waste what get, making enough laulau or stew to share, and trading fruits and veggies with neighbors? And how will we impart the importance of food and community to our moʻo? 🍒🥕🍊🍋🥒🥬
Throwback to our earliest days of ideating the exc Throwback to our earliest days of ideating the exchange economy with @thepurpleprize. What began as a pu’uhonua (place of peace and safety) for Indigenous connectivity and community organization, evolved into a digital economy and social exchange platform we now know as Exchange Ave. (EA: to rise up) These photos remind us of the power that manifests when deep observation (kilo) is coupled with intentional design and passion for a place (Aina) and it’s people.

We’ve been hard at work on V2 of the Exchange Av We’ve been hard at work on V2 of the Exchange Ave mobile app. To keep a more open and meaningful development process, we want to fill you in on the small changes that add up to a great user experience in the long run. Pictured here are a few improvements to the app, including expanding of item descriptions on the browse market page, a more streamlined version of EA Profiles and exchange history. As always, we’d love your feedback on how to make it even better! #ExchangeAve #MobileApp #technology #innovation #EACDT
The world as we know it is evolving into a multi-d The world as we know it is evolving into a multi-dimensional human experience with layers of data, technology and energy swirling around to create new paradigms and spaces for communities to grow and thrive. It’s a trip. We just finished closing remarks after two days of virtual engagement at the @WorldIndigenousForum 2021 and we’re more inspired than ever. Connecting with Indigenous organizations and introducing our newest technology, #ExchangeEngine, to the global stage through a 3D virtual world of speakers, programming and booth exhibitions. Mahalo to the #WIF2021 team, communities and participants for the chance to share our story with you all. #ExchangeAve #IndigenousInnovation #MobileApp #DigitalEconomy #Ahupuaa #Economics #Hawaii #Hawaiian
