86-year-old Garth Barfoot is in London at the time of posting this (participating in the 2022 London marathon).  He has had an incredible career in real estate (Barfoot and Thompson).  But it’s through his feats in endurance running and triathlon events that I know him. What makes Garth even more remarkable is his entry to the sport- he didn’t start competing until his late 50’s, proving it’s never too late to do something that seems impossibly hard.

Episode 39: Sir John Kirwan

September 25, 2022 12:00 - 1 hour - 186 MB

Sir John Kirwan is an All Black legend. But its what he has done since retiring from sport that has made him an all-round legend. 15 years ago JK reluctantly spoke publicly about his depression and mental health struggles (we discuss his reluctance in this chat- I won't tell you who pushed him into doing it!) I’m absolutely fizzing about sharing this one- just in time for Mental Health awareness week in New Zealand- Sir John Kirwan.  Mental health has never had more chat that what it curr...

This segment comes from Mondays podcast episode. If you want to hear more, feel free to go back and listen to the whole thing. As well as being a fierce former NZ politician, Nikki is a breast cancer survivor.   Like me, her medical procedure left her unable to have her own biological kids.  In this snippet we share our experiences and our feeling around the sense of loss.  Nikki has a fantastic attitude and I love her positivity and her way of looking at the situation.

Nikki Kaye is best known as being the former deputy leader of the National party while it was in opposition (and also a high profile cabinet minister during one of the parties most successful stints in power, under John Key).

September 15, 2022 13:00 - 6 minutes - 13.6 MB

This bite sized episode comes from the full length conversation with Brad Smeele, pro wakeboarder turned quadraplegic andn ow a best selling author! The idea of this snippet is to serve as, I guess, like a trailer on Netflix to decide if you want to hear more.  Or pehaps you are time-poor and can't spare a whole hour (maybe after hearing a bite size episode you will decide to go back to the full length episode when you do have time). In this snippet, Brad discusses Suzie, a remarkable Auck...

Brad Smeele was one of the first guests on the podcast (episode 4, March 2022).  He now becomes the first guest I've had on twice. The first episode with Brad is one that I still get messages about most weeks.  I think this conversation will be just as impactful.  So many lessons in here and a look inside his best selling book which has just come out, "Owning it."  Its a great book- I read the entire thing (and its a big-ass book).  Brad wrote the whole thing, all 500,000 words using a mou...
