Kuleana Connect | Meet the Founders

We met at a wedding in the Netherlands.

"Trust was the first thing we ever built together."

One lunch.

Two hearts.

Thousands of miles between us.

Three months later, we were married.

That story isn’t just romantic.

It’s the blueprint for everything we do at Kuleana Connect:

building real trust, across distance, with nothing but our words and presence.

Our business, like our marriage, is built on connection before conversion.

meet her: the connector

Social comes naturally to her.

She doesn’t just love people; she sees them.

Her joy is lighting up someone’s day, making them feel valued,
and letting them know they matter.

She’s been building digital relationships since the earliest days of social media, and her presence now reaches many thousands across Facebook and Instagram.

She believes in loving like Jesus did:

one conversation,

one comment,

one human at a time.

Cheyanne Cleyman

Kuleana is a Hawaiian word that means more than just “responsibility.”

It speaks to a sacred obligation - to show up with care, to steward what’s been entrusted to you, and to carry your part with honor.

At Kuleana Connect, we hold the relationship
between you and your future clients as a kuleana.

We don’t treat trust as a tactic.

We treat it as a responsibility:
one that we carry with intention, respect, and heart.

meet him : the architect

He’s a visionary strategist with the heart of a truth-seeker.

Systems, models, frameworks - they’re his language.

He sees patterns most don’t.

As a designer and thinker, he’s always chasing the deeper question,
searching for what’s missing beneath the noise, and building something better.

His passion?

Creating a more ethical, intelligent way to scale trust
in a world drowning in manipulation.

Together, we created Kuleana Connect
not just to build a business,
but to be part of the solution.

To show that it’s possible to grow without selling your soul.

To prove that real conversations still convert.

To protect the reputation and purpose of people doing good work in the world.

If you’re building something rooted
in integrity, purpose, and presence,
we’d be honored to meet you.

“I used to pay $2K a month for cold automation funnels,
and half the leads didn’t even show up.

The ones who did were either just curious
or completely unqualified.

With Kuleana Connect,
every conversation actually feels human.

I’m talking to people who already get what I do,
and want to work with someone like me.

Honestly,
I’d rather have five real conversations
than chase 50 dead-end leads.”
