Kimi is a Hawaiian freediver, US National Spearfishing Champion, conservationist and founder of Keep Wild Co—a company that makes reusable utensil kits packaged in recycled surf competition banners.
She’s also a certified culinary chef and you can find tons of great recipes on her blog. She’s an artist, writer, and purely inspirational spirit that we were so excited to chat with.
Hear how Kimi first fell in love with freediving by following her father under the waves, what happened when her family’s economic status shifted and how Kimi fell away from her passions for so long, how she rediscovered herself under the waves, and then in the pursuit of gold medals realized she had commoditized what made her feel most alive.
We also discuss our connection with our food, Kimi’s company Keep Wild Co and learning not to panic in the face of fear.
