Messie recently made international headlines, after opening for DJ superstar Fred Again and blowing his socks off at the Coroglen Tavern, he was so impressed that he asked her to open his final leg of the tour in Perth, in front of over 35,000 people!
This was Tessa's first time leaving the country since she was a baby and almost didn't make the concert due to an expired passport. Through this episode, we discuss Messie's rise to fame, how the events unfolded, relationship with Fred Again and her next steps to revitalise the DJ scene in Aoteaora.

One of the rawest and most vulnerable episodes we've ever recorded.
In 2009, after experiencing a mental breakdown following a relationship breakup, Rob found himself in a dark place, seeking an escape from his pain.
He called the police, hoping for a violent end, but instead found himself shot through the chest and living to tell the tale. 
Now Rob is on a journey to teach others how to better manage their mental health, to save the lives of those struggling with depression.
A top human, Jiu Jitsu Practitioner, and one of the the craziest stories of all time. I highly recommend checking out his work and his documentary "Shot Bro" - link below!

Jess Kerr is a professional cricket player for the New Zealand White Ferns and is the sister of cricket superstar, Amelia Kerr (who was on the show last year).
Throughout this episode, we talk about the health complications that Jess has been dealt with and what these have taught her so far. From being diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes, Bells-Palsy and compartment syndrome, Jess's story of redemention is bloody inspiring! 

I hope you enjoy this conversation!
