Elder TikTok joins us to discuss his journey as a Polynesian Mormon content creator and business owner who's built his platform on authentic representation and unapologetic faith. He shares how his career evolved from making videos for fun to becoming a voice for those who share his beliefs but aren't comfortable expressing them publicly.
• Started creating content after noticing the lack of Polynesian and Mormon representation online
• Inspired by early YouTube creator Ryan Higa as one of the first Polynesian content creators he discovered
• Believes in being completely authentic even when it leads to criticism from fellow church members
• Views his content as "being a voice for the voiceless" for those who share his perspectives
• Explains how his personal testimony coexists with church doctrine while maintaining his individual perspective
• Discusses the misconception that content creation is easy when it actually requires significant skill and dedication
• Reframes "setbacks" and "failures" as valuable experiences that redirect you to your true path
• Shares how his unsuccessful football career led him to discover his talent for digital content
• Defines authenticity as being "unapologetically true to what you believe, think, say or do"
Go ahead and listen to hear these gems. We're trying to hit a thousand or two thousand downloads a month and that's only possible through you. If you haven't already, subscribe and download so you can take some beautiful words of wisdom with you wherever you go.
