I am stoked to bring you guys this podcast. Not only do I love this business innovation behind Maui Nui but the entire situation with Axis deer on the Hawaii islands is fascinating to me. This week I am joined by Jacob Muise of Maui Nui a for profit company seeking to find a balance in helping curb the over population of Axis deer in Maui and creating a great product. Jacob is a huge advocate for axis deer a hunter first he like many of us shares a deep love for the animal. In this podcast we dive into the very complicated situation of deer on the island and how he has built a company solving this problem while staying true to his roots.
