   Jason spent the first 5 years of his life growing up in the lush tropical surrounds of Samoa and always knew of the "nonu" plant that grew wild throughout all the islands of his homeland.Jason still remembers as a young boy, how his grandmother used to pulp the noni leaves into a paste and apply them to his cuts and bruises after a day of adventuring.It was not until his early twenties that he investigated the plant further and became acutely aware of its phenomenal medicinal properties.
   
   With a desire to cultivate a business that married his Samoan/Australian heritage, Jason and Katrina, considered the distribution of Noni juice in Australia an ideal opportunity.Already a billion dollar industry globally, both knew that if they were successful they would be supporting the economic growth of Samoa and would be creating a healthy planet by spreading the use of the Samoan "natural wonder", noni.
   
   The noni juice represents much of what is important to Jason and Katrina.

   ...
   Jason Andrew, who spent his early years in a Samoan village, remembers noni being used as a home remedy when he was growing up.
   
   "I was brought up in a village near the water where there were a lot of sharp rock pools and I remember running around a lot," he says.
   ...
   Andrew also ensures some of the profits from Island Spirit ® Australia's Pure Samoan Noni Juice goes back to the island communities.
   
   "During colonialism, a lot of our traditional medicines got lost, but they're making a resurgence and noni is now Samoa's largest export," he says.
   
   Andrew says noni is even being used to promote the importance of good health and nutrition among the Samoan villagers themselves.
   
   "We want to get people eating more natural foods.We want to start a dental care program," he says.

   Noni juice is having a real impact for Jason Andrew and helping his Samoan homeland, writes DANIEL HOY.

   A PERFORMANCE review with a manager three years ago was the catalyst for Jason Andrew to take his career and life in a new direction.He was working at MLC as a practice development manager, looking after financial planners and doing some business coaching.
   
   "My manager asked me what I wanted to do and I said I wanted to be part of the NAB executive team," Andrew says."He looked at me and said, `No you don't', which was refreshing."He made me go away and really look at what I wanted to achieve personally and professionally."
   
   Reflecting on what he wanted to achieve with his working life, an idea came back to him again and again.He wanted to do something to help the country in which he was raised, Samoa."Throughout that process I realised that being Samoan, I really wanted to do something with Samoa," he says.
   ...
   ANDREW and his wife worked on their new business, Pure Samoan Noni Juice, for three years before Andrew felt comfortable enough to leave his job."Part of the reason for starting my own business was because I wanted to be a bit healthier, have more time with my family, and that led to noni juice," he says.
   ...
   "This is more than just a cult product" says Jason Andrew, "Each year over $500million worth of noni juice is sold around the world and every 1.8 seconds someone buys a bottle!"
   ...
   It was Goals Unlimited that first planted the seed in Jason and Katrina's minds that they wanted to start their own business and do something for Samoa.The approach to life that they learnt helped to give Jason the confidence to resign from a comfortable and very well paid corporate role to running their own show in a totally new and foreign environment."We highly recommend this programme" said Jason "so much so that we are paying the subscription fees for Club Spirit members ourselves"
   ...
   "Pure Samoan Noni Juice is a perfect supplement for personal trainers" said Managing Director Jason Andrew "It's packed with over 150 vitamins, minerals and trace elements, contains 17 amino acids and 47% of your recommended daily intake of vitamin C".
