From Prison to 150+ Homes: The Fuzzy Jardine StoryWhat if your rock bottom became your turning point? Today’s ICONS of Real Estate episode features an extraordinary transformation — from addiction and federal prison… to building 150+ affordable homes and reshaping the future of Hawai‘i.
Meet Kolaiah “Fuzzy” Jardine — Big Island native, waterman, developer, community protector, and co-founder of the HUI Mastermind.
In this powerful conversation, Fuzzy shares:
🔥 How prison became the wake-up call that changed everything
🔥 The books, mentors, & mindset shifts that helped him rebuild
🔥 How he built real estate partnerships with $0 of his own money
🔥 The affordable housing blueprint helping locals stay in Hawai‘i
🔥 The “Crabs in a Bucket” mentality — and how he escaped it
🔥 Why real estate can (and should) prioritize people over profit
If you’ve ever felt stuck, underestimated, or unsure whether you can change your life — this episode will challenge everything you believe about possibility.
Real estate isn’t just about ROI. It’s about roots. Community. Legacy.
And Fuzzy is showing the world what it looks like to invest with purpose.
