This podcast is a tax write-off

Matt Ward is counting down the days until his wife gives birth, but Leigh Hart is a little confused on how the whole process works. Panda Bears, Chimps, Guinea Pigs... it's all too much. Heading into winter in the middle of a cost of living crisis can be difficult, so Matt's got a life hack to help cut down on the food costs. Which somehow leads the boys into talking about placenta.

Episode 61: Former Blackcap and Broadcaster, Mark Richardson

In episode 61 of the Leaders Getting Coffee podcast, our guest is Former Blackcap and Broadcaster Mark Richardson. There are many elements to the Mark Richarson story. The cricketer who bloomed late. The accidental broadcaster who seemed a natural behind the microphone. And now the Investment Advisor, charting a new path in yet another career. Even as a boy, Mark Richardson dreamed of playing for the Black Caps. His early years saw him on the pitch as a bowler and over time he transformed himself into a batsman, and then again into an opening batsman. The dream didn’t come true until he was 29, but the story of how he got there is a testament to his determination and resilience. He was honest enough to hang up the cricket bat when he was mentally burned out, despite the fact that he probably could have gone on. But he didn’t sit idle for long. The opportunity to broadcast the game he loved opened a door to a twenty year broadcasting career that included “The Crowd Goes Wild”, “The Block NZ”, “The Project” and “The AM Show”. He continued to commentate the cricket, not because of the money, but because of his love for the game. But the changes in the media industry meant the going was too tough and first Mediaworks and then Today FM closed down, leaving Richardson wondering what might come next. But he’s nothing if not adaptable, and another casual conversation turned opportunity arose, one which sees him today operating as an Investment Advisor with well known financial services group Forsyth Barr, a topic deserving of some air time given the current challenges in the markets. On the Leaders Getting Coffee Podcast, Mark Richardson speaks with Bruce Cotterill about his passion for cricket, the teammates he loved playing with, the disappointment of being out for 99 and the relief of that first century scoring 115 just a few weeks later. And he’s refreshingly open about the highs and lows of that broadcasting career. Behind the blokey persona is a man who takes every step as he did his batting, with careful preparation and just enough nervousness to keep him trying his very hardest to be his very best. It’s a seriousness of intent that he now channels to the task of guiding clients on their investment journey.

How speed cooking led to Leigh Hart's divorce

Notorius women experts Leigh Hart and Matt Ward are back this week to chat about the hobbies men do that are most attractive according to women, and ask the important question: are they right? Reading, hiking, painting... blacksmithing? The boys question the validity of the list. Leigh shares a hilarious story of being judged by All Black Beauden Barrett on the golf course, and Matt asks if you'd let your parents watch everything you've ever done in your entire life for $1 billion. Or maybe it was $100 million. It gets a little confused.
