From Hawai‘i News Now:

With so many local families leaving Hawai‘i each year, Billy Pieper is fighting to turn the tide—working to make housing more affordable and community more sustainable.

This episode of A Leader’s Journey follows Pieper’s evolution from athlete to executive, and from proving himself to lifting up others. The 10-part series profiles Hawai‘i leaders one at a time — exploring the experiences that shaped them, the challenges that tested them, and the insights they hope to pass on.

“I’m a son of Hawai‘i, born and raised here, love this place,” Pieper says. “And I feel like lately, my biggest focus has been on the fact that so many people are leaving our islands. I try and bring it all back to how do we create opportunities for local people to thrive.”
