The Dom Harvey Podcast Dom Harvey

Matt Heath is an exceptionally talented guy who I am lucky to call a friend. 
You name the media job this guy has done it- breakfast radio, TV series, a movie, music, animated kids TV, newspaper columns and now a book- A Life Less Punishing.

Also, thanks to the Radix team. This kiwi company started a decade ago in a garage in Northland, now they have a sleek factory in the Waikato where they are making nutritional products that are world class.
I can’t speak highly enough about their protein powders. 
If you think protein shakes are just for gym junkies, think again. Most of us don’t get enough protein, and a shake with a scoop of protein powder is the best way to fix that. It’s also great if your goal is to manage your weight- it fills you up without heaps of dead calories.

CASEY BRADY
On the 25th of June 2017 Casey was involved in a motocross accident in Taupo that changed her life forever.
She has been unable to walk since then. And despite being told she is unlikely to ever walk again, she is refusing to quit. 
If you think this is a sad podcast, think again!
Casey’s story is a reminder of the resilience that lies within us all. You guys are going to love Casey- her positivity, work ethic and determination are inspirational (that’s a word you’ll probably hear a few times in this conversation!).

Eugene Bareman. 
If you google his business “City Kickboxing” the first question that pops up is “Why is city kickboxing so good.”
Eugene and his gym have produced so many UFC stars- most notably Israel Adesanya, Dan Hooker and Kaikara France. He has even been recognized as the best MMA coach in the world in 2022.
We talk about his early years and his incredible drive and discipline.
What his goals were when he opened his gym. 
His interactions with Dana White and his thoughts on the UFC and whether the fighters are paid fairly.
The weight of responsibility he feels as a coach of athletes in a sport that can literally be a matter of life and death.
Hilarious story about an interaction with Mark Zuckerberg and who would win an MMA fight between Zuck and Elon Musk. And so much more. 
Thanks to my pals at Radix and Generate for making this conversation possible.

This conversation with Jay-Jay Feeney, NZ broadcasting royalty, came out one year ago, back when this was still a podcast for runners. 
A lot of you may have heard it at the time, but there are a lot of brand new listeners to the podcast who may be hearing this for the first time.
This was a strange episode...just because of the intensely personal nature of it.
ICYMI: Jay-Jay and I got married in 2004. We separated about 6 years ago but remain very close.
Because of this relationship, we know everything about one another and had the ability to touch upon some very serious stuff. Because of that a trigger warning is needed- this podcast episode discusses family violence and sexual abuse, infertility and IVF, depression, and suicide.
If you listen to this and need some professional help in New Zealand, you can call or text 1737 free of charge to talk to a trained counsellor.

As well as age, other risk factors include family history of veins disease, being overweight, standing jobs, and pregnancy. If left untreated, they can lead to serious health issues. Skin Institute are THE experts to diagnose and treat varicose veins and use the latest non-surgical techniques.

Rosie Overcomer was born and raised in Gloriavale. 
She left 11 years ago at the age of 26 with her husband Elijah and their 3 young children.
Since then, they have had three more children and life looks very different to how it did a decade ago- we talk about these adjustments to life outside. Including getting her first haircut, celebrating a birthday for the first time at 28, and the liberating moment she wore jeans for the first time.
I found Rosie's story compelling, and I hope you guys do as well (quick apology for the sound issues towards the end- there were some tradies outside with a water blaster LOL).

I can genuinely say the podcast would not be where it is right now without Radix Nutrition. These guys reached out to me over 18 months ago to talk about podcast sponsorship at a time when podcast sponsorship was not yet a thing in NZ. And they have been on board ever since.
This sort of innovation they have with their marketing is the exact same innovation they apply to their products.
The team at Radix HQ in the Waikato do a phenomenal job and every team member, from the top down, want to make YOU healthier through nutrition.

Warning! This episode of The Dom Harvey Podcast may be upsetting to some listeners or viewers, it centers around terminal illness and assisted dying. Please listen with caution. This is the Tracy Hickman story.
In March 2019 Tracy, an ultra-marathon runner and accountant, went for a routine mammogram and was hit the devastating news she had an aggressive type of breast cancer.
Tracy and I met at the Boston marathon in 2023 where she was running despite battling cancer. You would not know she was sick unless she told you. Nor would you ever see her without a smile- relentlessly positive would be a perfect way to describe her.
Tracy asked me if we could do this podcast and it was a privilege.
Tracy's story is not just about her battles with cancer or the marathons she's run across all seven continents:
It's a larger story of relationships, love, and legacy. And also, an opportunity to shine a light on assisted dying—a subject she believes deserves more coverage and open conversation.
I’d like to think this episode is a celebration of Tracy Hickman's undeniable fabulousness. Her wit, warmth, and willingness to discuss topics often shroud in silence.
At the very least, I hope this makes all of us appreciate what we have and to make the most of today. Because you never know what tomorrow may bring.
Dom
