• How ALOHA's focusing flowed through to its culture (even before the pandemic); how that has benefited the brand

• How ALOHA has leaned into the renewed importance on health during COVID, and has sought to redefined what "diet" means

• The persona of a brand which will allow it to survive post-pandemic, including transparency and the cruciality of purpose-driven brands to "show the receipt"; the steps ALOHA has taken here

• How ALOHA consumers are encouraged to share their stories, diet or no diet; the efforts ALOHA is actively taking to build community

• As always, advice to build a more authentic brand
