    Episode 60 – REUBEN COLLIER

    With a deep love for people and a genuine desire to give his absolute all to his mahi, Dr. Reuben Collier has always approached his work with the right intentions and a true commitment to understanding. It is this authenticity that has naturally drawn elders to open up to him, they believed in him—no matter who, where, or what the kaupapa may be.  For Reuben, his learning extended far beyond the classroom and beyond the pages of books, deeply immersed in te ao Māori.

    Episode 58 – GORDON TOI

    A life-altering accident could have ended Gordon Toi’s path as an artist, but instead, it deepened his passion for his art and turned his own pain into a vessel to help others navigate their own—particularly through the sacred and profound process of giving and receiving tā moko. If there’s one thing that stands out about Gordon, it’s his evolution. He has grown into the rangatira he is today—not only through his own transformative life journey but also through his ability to recognise and appreciate growth in the world and people around him, and what that signifies for the future of his craft.

    Episode 57 – TINA NGATA

    Colonialism’s impact runs deep, shaping how indigenous peoples are perceived both at home and abroad. Ironically, outside one’s home country, there is often recognition, respect, and admiration for our uniqueness and resilience. Yet, internally, systemic issues persist—a by-product of colonial structures that remain deeply embedded in societal institutions worldwide. To hear more from Tina Ngata on this topic and her fascinating perspective on using this period as our Overton window—an opportunity to spark a broad range of discussions — listen to her full Spotify episode available now.
