Pacific Empowerment

• Episode 8 - Why Most People Quit Too Soon

  In this heartfelt episode of Pacific Empowerment, we honor the life and legacy of George “Fiji” Veikoso, whose journey from humble beginnings in Fiji to becoming the voice of the Pacific is a true testimony of persistence and passion. We dive into the powerful lesson of Napoleon Hill’s Three Feet from Gold — a story that reminds us why so many give up just before success. I’ll also share my own journey of building Siuhuu and the struggles that test me daily, plus the inspiring story of a Tongan woman who chose long-term investments over quick gains to build a legacy for her family. This episode is a call to our Pacific people: don’t chase quick money. Instead, build with passion, invest wisely, and create freedom and generational wealth that will last.If you’ve ever felt like throwing in the towel, this episode is for you - because the truth is, most people give up right before their breakthrough, and I’m here to make sure you’re not one of them.You can watch the video podcast on https://www.youtube.com/@pacificempowerment

• Episode 7 - Leadership & Marital Affairs

  We start this episode by talking about the recent CEO-employee affair at the Coldplay concert, and the lessons we can all learn from it. From there, we dive into a topic many avoid: Leadership, Marriage, and Affairs.Why do some leaders risk everything behind closed doors? What role do grief, pressure, or ego really play?Drawing from Esther Perel’s The State of Affairs, I unpack the deeper reasons behind infidelity - not just lust, but emotional disconnection, identity loss, and the 80/20 rule.I also share my own story - 11 years of marriage, tested and refined. Along the way, I offer relationship advice for young people and married couples navigating infidelity.This episode is real, challenging, and necessary. Let’s talk about the things no one wants to sa, but everyone needs to hear,You can watch the video podcast on https://www.youtube.com/@pacificempowerment

• Episode 6 - The Power of Speaking Up

  In this powerful and deeply personal episode, we dive into the importance of speaking up against injustice, even when it feels like you're standing alone.I explore the stories of global heroes like Rosa Parks, Malala Yousafzai, Nelson Mandela, and biblical figures like Moses and Esther - ordinary people who used their voices to spark extraordinary change. We also confront the culture of silence in Pacific Island communities, where tradition, respect, and faith are sometimes used to protect injustice rather than confront it.This episode isn’t just about history, it’s about our story. It’s a call to action for Pacific Islanders everywhere: to speak truth, to break generational silence, and to become bold voices for justice, healing, and transformation.And for the first time, I’m opening up this podcast to you. If you have a story to tell about injustice, corruption, or anything you’ve stayed silent about for too long, I invite you to share it. Whether it's through a conversation on this podcast or anonymously through email, your voice matters.📧 Share your story: [email protected] starts with a voice.Let it be yours.You can watch the video podcast on https://www.youtube.com/@pacificempowerment

• Episode 5 - Tackling Tall Poppy Syndrome in the Pacific

  In this episode, I open up about the real challenges I’ve faced building Siuhuu, a fully operational e-commerce platform for the Pacific, and how Tall Poppy Syndrome is blocking the growth our region desperately needs.From constant messages asking to “collaborate” while quietly trying to copy the platform, to seeing funding and energy wasted on reinventing what already exists, I share what it’s really like to build something that challenges the status quo in the Pacific. We talk about why it’s often our own people holding us back, how competition at the lowest level keeps us poor, and why we need to focus on collaboration, payment systems, and logistics instead of duplicating what’s already working.And because I don’t want you to get stuck in negativity, I end this episode with practical guidance on how to create your vision board, so you stay focused on building your purpose and don’t get distracted by people who don’t see your vision.If you care about seeing the Pacific move forward, this one’s for you.You can watch the video podcast on https://www.youtube.com/@pacificempowerment

• Episode 4 - How to Break the Cycle

  Is faith alone enough to truly change us? In this episode, we dive deep into a topic often considered taboo in our Pacific communities: the connection between faith, hidden wounds, and true healing. Growing up in the church, many of us were taught that faith and prayer alone would change us - but why do cycles of hurt, anger, and generational trauma still continue?We explore why faith and inner work must go together, how unhealed wounds affect the way we treat ourselves and our loved ones, and why breaking these cycles is crucial for our families and future generations. Drawing from biblical examples, personal stories, and insights from psychology, this episode will challenge you to reflect on your journey and encourage you to take the steps needed for true transformation.Listen until the end, reflect deeply, and decide for yourself. It’s time to break the cycle and become who God created you to be.You can watch the video podcast on https://www.youtube.com/@pacificempowerment
