Mike Hegedus, a special features correspondent on the hour-long show, was here three weeks ago to interview KoAloha founder Alvin Okami and his sons Alan and Paul, shooting workers creating the popular ukes.
"It was the first time CNBC did any filming here; we were so stoked," said Alvin Okami.
The segment also will air overseas on CNBC in Asia, Europe and then repeat periodically nationally.
