Runners Only! with Dom Harvey Dom Harvey

Rachel Hunter was a secondary school student in Auckland when she was "discovered" by a photographer. She soon became one of the world’s most in demand models, earning a reputation only a handful of people had of people had as a “super model.“ 
So, what business does she have being on a podcast called Runners only? Glad you asked! She literally was out running when she was “discovered.”
This conversation was so enjoyable. We cover a lot of ground including the moment she quit school to become a model- great story…it involves a phone call to the school office landline while she was mid math’s exam.
Her reflections on Andy Hayden and how she got a gruff ex All Black to be her manager (Spoiler: it was a lot harder than you'd think).
We chat about the iconic Trumpet ad, posing for Playboy and staring in the iconic Stacie’s mom music video.
Why she has never read the chapter about herself in the Rod Stewart autobiography. We talk about Rod a lot…probably way more than she was comfortable with- sorry Rach!! LOL
The death of her mum, becoming a grandmother, menopause and much much more.

Mitch James is a well known New Zealand singer.  He is also a marathon runner.  But he is so much more than those things.  He is one of the most authentic, vulnerable and transparent people I have ever met.  A true open book.  100% BS free.
There are some serious things we touch upon- including mental health and suicide.  And I respect Mitch for his honesty.  
Warning- He DOES like to swear...so keep that in mind if you are with little kids or anyone who is easily shocked.
PS:  Mitch has a new song called "History" coming out later this week.  Look out for it.  It's probably awesome.

So, what business does she have being on a podcast called Runners only? Glad you asked! She literally was out running when she was “discovered.” I don’t know about you, but when I run my face is red and blotchy and on windy days there is saliva on the side of my face but we talk about Rachels discovery on an Auckland beach, a moment that lead her to a lucrative contract in New York.
Rachel always has been a breath of fresh air. And I am so thankful we got to do this podcast together. And I really hope you guys enjoy it too.

On Tuesday March 22, it was announced that NZ distance runner, Zane Robertson had received a seven-year ban for failing a drug test. 
Four years was for taking the banned substance EPO, an additional three years was for trying to cover up his failed test. 
At the age of 33, this likely spells the end of his professional career.
Zane and I connected to have this conversation the morning after, Thursday March 23.
In this podcast, a tired and understandably emotional Zane talked openly and frankly about the announcement and the events leading up to it.
To WATCH the conversation with Zane, please go to my YouTube channel:

In the 90’s and early 2000s, Adam Parore was a star of the NZ cricket team.
Then he could be seen on the cover of Women’s Day every other week. 
Over a decade ago he went to ground and there has been very little written about him in the public domain ever since.
This conversation is sort of in three different chapters:
The cricket career, including being mentored by his mate Martin Crowe.
Climbing Mount Everest….and almost dying the day before he made it to the summit.
Why he removed himself from the public eye, his loves and losses and the toll that’s played on his mental health and a bunch of other really special stuff that I loved and I hope you do too.

This short tease clip comes from episode 61, which will be out by the time you wake up on Monday morning.
Through the 90’s and early 2000s Adam was a star of the NZ cricket team. 
Then following on from his cricket career, he could be seen on the cover of Women’s Day (what seemed like) every second week.
Over a decade ago he went to ground and there has been very little written about him in the public domain ever since.
