Standing on their lawn, members of the Dong family waited to meet the great-grandkids of a Black couple who rented a home to them a generation ago, when laws favored white residents. It was their first meeting on storied land. In 1939, Gus and Emma Thompson, a Black entrepreneurial couple, agreed to rent and eventually sell the house they owned to the Dongs, a Chinese American family. The Thompsons’ decision touched off an upward trajectory in their lives, said Ron Dong, 87, who grew up in the house with his parents and three siblings. On Monday, the Dongs welcomed the Thompsons’ great-grandchildren back to the home where their lives intersected. The meetup was ahead of a dedication ceremony to name San Diego State University’s Black Resource Center after Emma and Gus, who was born into slavery in Kentucky.

I’ve seen countless SaaS companies struggle with dashboards. They build them, but they never fully meet customer needs. How many support tickets are you handling because of this? 📈 Dashboards often fall short and are highly restrictive, leaving customers frustrated. They end up going back to the product team for help, draining time and resources. But what if customers could create their own dashboards within your product? Think about the impact on your team—fewer requests, more time to focus on what matters. No more bottlenecks. No more unnecessary back-and-forth. Let your customers build what they need, right within your platform. You’d be free to focus on growing your business, instead of solving the same problems over and over.

Hawai‘i boasts a thunderously mighty community of Filipino Americans, many of whom first immigrated to the islands in the early 20th century to work the agricultural sectors. Today, Filipino Americans make up about a quarter of Hawai‘i’s population, while their culture, history, and stories contribute to the rich diversity that makes our islands so special. While October signals the start of Filipino American History Month, we’re shining the spotlight on some of our favorite books penned by Filipino authors. From captivating graphic novels depicting Philippine legends to delicious murder mysteries set in Tita Rosie’s kitchen, our top picks for Filipino American History Month are sure to delight readers of all ages and interests.

I always joke that it feels like I’ve aged 9 years in 9 months, ever since I founded Kater. The byproduct of building a company is that you learn to enjoy getting punched. That means hearing “no” 100s of times. That means change isn’t an option– it’s a requirement. That means letting go of ego, accepting failure… …and getting up to do it all again. These attitudes don’t come naturally to most of us. It’s after experiencing constant rejection, change, and failure that I’ve become more resilient, and more confident than ever. I may only be 9 months older from January, but I feel 9 years wiser. 🧠 Have you ever experienced something so mentally, physically, or spiritually taxing that after getting to the other side, you found newfound faith in yourself?
