A scoop shop can be a neighborhood landmark when it pairs bold flavors with a true spirit of welcome. We sit down with Jimmy Anderson of Sweet Aloha Ice Cream to unpack how a military-to-corporate journey led to a homemade, Hawaiian-inspired concept in Davie, Florida—and why service with real aloha turns casual visits into lasting community ties.

Jimmy walks us through the evolution from Hollyboy’s Shave Ice in California to Sweet Aloha in South Florida, where the menu blends tradition and island flair. Think ube, Kona coffee chocolate chip, and a South Florida favorite called cafe con le Kona—a playful nod to cafe con leche with Oreos. Add in Italian rainbow cookie for nostalgic punch and tropical staples like macadamia nut and pineapple, all crafted in-house alongside shave ice and syrups. By sourcing natural extracts and iterating with the seasons, the team keeps flavors vibrant while honoring local tastes.

Beyond the glass, we dig into what it takes to keep a small food business healthy: cash flow discipline, process-driven operations, and a culture where employees carry the mission. Jimmy explains why he favors corporate-owned stores with local family partners over traditional franchising, aiming to scale without losing authenticity. We also touch on the myths of “cursed locations,” the reality of 12-hour days, and the payoff of building a team that treats guests like neighbors.

If you’re curious about flavor innovation, building a resilient brand, or how aloha culture translates into memorable customer service, this conversation delivers practical insights and heartfelt stories. Explore the menu, plan a visit to the Davie end-cap on State Road 84 near Pine Island, and taste what a community-driven dessert shop can be. Enjoyed the conversation?

A kid with grand mal seizures and a rare brain tumor grows into a doctor who believes healing starts at the root. That’s the arc of our conversation with Dr. Jadan, a three-time cancer survivor who refused more surgery at twenty-one, embraced a holistic roadmap, and watched his MRI tell a new story. The lessons he learned the hard way—about neuroplasticity, digestion, sunlight, and relentless consistency—now shape the way he helps patients ditch quick fixes and rebuild real health.

We walk through his early surgeries, the paralysis that followed, and why the right temporal lobe offers a better recovery outlook than the frontal lobe. From there, we get practical. He explains how low stomach acid can masquerade as reflux, why enzymes and meal timing often help more than indefinite acid blockers, and how gut bacteria contribute to the very enzymes that break down food. He talks about non-burning sun exposure, vitamin D, and circadian rhythms, offering a balanced view on sunscreen and better choices like mineral formulas. And he’s clear about tools: acute medicine saves lives in emergencies, while chronic issues require longer conversations, lab-guided plans, and changes you can repeat every day.

What makes his approach different is empathy backed by evidence. He and his physician wife run a hybrid practice that combines naturopathic depth with medical access—labs and prescriptions when needed, lifestyle as the foundation. Together they support autoimmune cases, hormone imbalances, brain fog, chronic pain, and complex gut issues with layered protocols that meet patients where they are. It’s not a miracle cure. It’s a system that works when you work it.

If you’re tired of symptom-chasing and want a plan that treats you as a whole person, this conversation offers a clear starting point: improve digestion, prioritize sleep, get morning light, move daily, and adjust based on labs and feedback.

Most people wait for clarity. Joel chases it through action, accountability, and a community that refuses to let you coast. From a 12-hour boat ride out of Cuba to buying 14 companies and then building a thriving men’s brotherhood, his story shows how impatience, ADHD, and hard knocks can become precision tools—when you channel them into daily practice and honest feedback.

We get tactical fast. Joel shares why “only handle it once” is a superpower for clearing mental clutter, how a single finance audit saved a member $50,000 a year, and why small, consistent decisions beat perfect plans every time. We dig into presence at home—planning thoughtful dates, asking one daily question that lightens your partner’s load, and using your calendar as a trust contract. We also map a sane path through burnout: shorter, higher-quality work blocks, scheduled recovery, and boundaries that keep you steady through hot streaks and slumps.

Then there’s jiu-jitsu—ego dissolves, skill grows, and humility becomes a habit. Getting tapped by a teenager isn’t failure; it’s feedback. The mat mirrors the brotherhood: show up, breathe, execute the next best move, and let the room raise your standards. If you feel stuck, Joel’s blueprint is simple and sharp: pick one book, one walk in the sun, one set of push-ups, one honest outreach. Put it on the calendar, report to people who care, and let identity catch up to your actions.
