    This week we’re re-releasing a classic episode with All Black legend Ali Williams, initially recorded in 2024.

We also go into the best stories from across his rugby and All Blacks career, as well as an open conversation about the loss of his father.

    Surprise… Seamus Had a Baby! Why He’s Kept It a Secret

    It’s the final Hambassadors episode of the year, and Seamus drops a bombshell. After keeping it quiet for nine months, Seamus reveals he’s had a baby, sharing what life has been like behind the scenes and how he managed to keep such a massive moment under wraps. The boys also take time to reflect on the year that’s been - the highs, the challenges, what they’ve learned, and how Hambassadors has grown along the way. Most importantly, they say a huge thank you to everyone who’s listened, supported, and been part of the journey in 2025. Enjoy, and we’ll see you in the new year. 🍻 Hambassadors is brought to you by Stark and Between Two Beers is brought to you by our proud sponsors TAB. Steve and Seamus are dressed by Barkers.

  5. How NZ SAS Lead Psychologist Survived Being Taken Hostage in Syria (Re-Release)

    How NZ SAS Lead Psychologist Survived Being Taken Hostage in Syria (Re-Release)

    This week we’re re-releasing one of our most powerful and memorable episodes of the year - a conversation that many of our new listeners may have missed when it first came out. Dr Alia Bojilova is the former Lead Psychologist of the New Zealand SAS, a United Nations peacekeeper, bestselling author of The Resilience Toolkit, and one of the most remarkable humans we’ve ever had on the show. In this episode, Alia takes us inside the extraordinary story of the time she was taken hostage by Syrian rebels while serving with the UN, and how she used curiosity, composure and human connection to survive an ordeal with almost no chance of escape. But this conversation goes far beyond the hostage event. We explore her upbringing in post-communist Bulgaria, elite athletic career, the science behind resilience, her relationship with her husband Jamie (an SAS soldier and former BTB guest), motherhood, leadership, identity, and the psychology of navigating adversity. It’s an episode that has stayed with listeners long after they finished it - and with so many new followers discovering Between Two Beers, we wanted to bring it back into the spotlight. If you’re new to the show, this is one of the most compelling stories we’ve told. If you heard it the first time, it’s well worth revisiting. Enjoy this special re-release with Dr Alia Bojilova.

    Flow State, Introversion & The Lessons We’re Taking Into 2026 - Steve & Di’s 1:1

    It’s our last episode of ABO for 2025! Steve and Di look back on a defining year of podcasting and the lessons that will shape what comes next. From finding flow state and working as an introvert, to protecting creative energy, navigating pressure, and building a sustainable pace. Steve opens up about the personal and professional growth he’s experienced through the OMP business course from the Icehouse, how his approach to creative work has shifted, and why the next year is less about doing more and more about doing what matters. We also chat about prioritising wellbeing, avoiding burnout, creating space for creativity, and maintaining purpose. Thank you to everyone who tuned into the show this year, we love what we’re building and can’t wait to be back in 2026!

  7. The Community Hero Who Beat a Decade-Long Eating Disorder

    07/12/2025

    The Community Hero Who Beat a Decade-Long Eating Disorder

    This week on Between Two Beers we speak with Carl Sheridan - a low-key legend whose story stopped us in our tracks. Carl is a performance coach, designer, rugby mentor at Te Awamutu College, and a dad from Pirongia who volunteers more than 25 hours a week to help the next generation of young men. He’s what we’d call a community hero - someone who shows up, gives back, and genuinely changes the lives around him. But behind all of that is a tough backstory, Carl has battled depression, anxiety, and a decade-long eating disorder, and has since turned that pain into purpose by mentoring young people who need support the most. His mission is simple: inspire more of us to help in our communities — and make service feel within reach, not out of it. In this episode we talk about what it actually means to live a meaningful life, how to rebuild yourself after your darkest years, the importance of local role models, what drives Carl’s dedication, and the powerful personal manifesto he shares at the end. A quick note: this episode discusses sensitive mental health topics including bulimia, anxiety, and depression. Take it at your own pace, pause if you need to. If anything comes up for you, text or call 1737 any time, or check the support links in the show notes.

  8. 2022 vs 2025: The Decision That Changed Our Lives

    03/12/2025

    2022 vs 2025: The Decision That Changed Our Lives

    In this reflective episode of Hambassadors, Steve and Seamus look back on where they were in 2022 living in different cities, unsure of the future, juggling day jobs - and compare it to where they are now, closing out 2024 with a full-time podcast business, a team, and a clearer sense of purpose. The conversation centres around their first ever coaching experience with Shaun Goldsbury, who helped them start to think seriously about vision, values and what might actually be possible if they backed themselves. A voice note from Shaun brings some of those early ideas back to the surface - and prompts a conversation about how much has changed (and what hasn’t) in just three years. There’s also a voice note from Luke Kemeys (Keep The Change), sharing his own reflections on growth and how looking back can help shape what comes next. Plus: stories from their BetterMan keynote, Barkers suit fittings, 12 Pubs of Christmas, and a great listener Q&A. This is the second-to-last Hambassadors of the year, with one more to come before the break. Hambassadors is brought to you by Stark. Steve and Seamus are proud to be dressed by Barkers and this episode is brought to you by the TAB. Got a hunch? Download the new app today and get your bet on. Hosted on Acast.
