Chief of War season 1 is out and I thought it'd be a lot of fun to break it down. Aspiring actor and friend Kamuela Chandler was a background/extra on the series and provides a lot of insight into the climactic episode 9 Kalapana battle to end the season. I've always wanted to record an episode to nerd out about a tv show or movie. This was a lot of fun and maybe a springboard for future tv/movie discussions. Congratulations and Mahalo to all who brought this epic show to life.&nb...

Originally starting out in the culinary arts, Kelii tells how working in restaurants gave him his first taste of the warzone that is the kitchen and how that shaped his interests and ventures going forward.
