    Louis Davis’ Hidden Struggle And Being Painted As The Villain

    New Zealand’s top content creator Louis Davis is back, and somehow, in the two years since we last spoke, life has become even more wild! He’s written a book, finished 3rd on Celebrity Treasure Island, interviewed some of the biggest names on the planet, and taken his dad to Turkey for a brand-new smile. But behind all that success are stories he hasn’t told on Tik Tok about ambition, his complex relationship with his dad and the eating disorder Louis has quietly lived with since he was eight years old. That’s the first hour! Then the episode revisits Louis’s original podcast visit from 2024. That covers his relationship with his wife, the viral KFC wedding photo and his mission to change how Māori fathers are represented. If you missed it when it first came out, you’ll love it. *** Massive thanks to my long‑term podcast sponsor, Generate.  Your KiwiSaver account is one of those things that’s easy to set up and then completely ignore whilst you’re hoping it’s all working out in the background.  I had a chat with a Generate KiwiSaver adviser when they came on as sponsor, and it genuinely gave me clarity on what it means to have a KiwiSaver plan, and whether mine was actually set up to perform over the long-term.   Generate is an award‑winning KiwiSaver provider with a strong track record of long‑term performance.

She was a cabinet minister, a cancer survivor and, to many people, a future leader of the Labour Party. Then, literally overnight, everything fell apart. But the headlines from that time only ever told a small part of the story. In this conversation, Kiri talks openly about the childhood that shaped her, being a lesbian in a deeply religious environment, surviving stage-three cervical cancer, the immense pressure of life in Parliament, and the mental health crisis that eventually brought her career to an end. She also talks very honestly about suicidal thoughts, the shame she carried after the crash, and the slow, difficult process of learning to forgive herself and rebuild her life. There are some incredibly heavy moments in this conversation - but there is also humour, perspective and a lot of hope. This is Kiri Allan, telling her story in her own words.

    Laurie Daley's Thoughts On Origin Coming To Auckland, Media Criticism And Old NRL Yarns

    Laurie Daley is Australian rugby league royalty: former Australian captain, winner of 3 Premierships with the Canberra Raiders, NSW captain at just 22. And the man who has twice coached the Blues to State of Origin glory. But this conversation goes well beyond the sport that made him famous. Laurie opens up about growing up as the only boy among seven sisters, the sacrifices his parents made, his Aboriginal heritage and making his first-grade debut for Canberra at just 17.   He shares the lessons Wayne Bennett and Mal Meninga taught him, the brutal pressure of coaching State of Origin and the impact of media criticism on his family, his thoughts on game 2 being played at Eden Park in 2027 and much more. This is the first time we met, and I could tell within minutes I was in the presence of a champion. Laurie is humble, tough and relentlessly positive. This is a glimpse into the man behind the rugby league legend. *** Massive thanks to my long‑term podcast sponsor, Generate.  Like a lot of Kiwis, I spent years saying, “I’ll look at my KiwiSaver account later.”  Turns out later comes around faster than you think, and the decisions you make now could be the difference between thriving or surviving in retirement. I switched my KiwiSaver account to Generate after they came on board, and honestly, I should’ve done it sooner.  They’re an award-winning KiwiSaver provider- they have won the Consumer NZ People’s Choice Award for KiwiSaver 6 times.

    Karin Burger is a New Zealand netball legend- since making her Silver Ferns debut in 2018 she has played over 70 tests in the black dress. This episode originally came out in 2023. I’m re-issuing it now because a lot has changed since then. The podcast has grown significantly, picking up thousands of new subscribers. And at the time of publishing, Karin is in Scotland with the Silver Ferns as the team captain for the Commonwealth Games. Making this moment extra special for Karin is the heartbreak of 4 years ago where she was forced to miss the Comm Games due to injury- we talk about that in the podcast. We also talk Karins move to NZ from South Africa by herself at 18 and the seven-year grind to become a Silver Fern. The devastation of being sent off during her Silver Ferns debut. What it’s like playing for coach Dame Noeline Taurua and insights into her coaching methods. Karin also opens up about loneliness, being relentlessly hard on herself, her discomfort with vulnerability and much more. Listening back now, knowing Karin is about to captain New Zealand at the Commonwealth Games, makes her story of sacrifice and perseverance even more powerful. You’ll love this episode. *** Massive thanks to my long‑term podcast sponsor, Generate.  Like a lot of Kiwis, I spent years saying, “I’ll look at my KiwiSaver account later.”  Turns out later comes around faster than you think, and the decisions you make now could be the difference between counting every dollar in retirement or having the freedom to take that trip you've always talked about.  I switched my KiwiSaver account to Generate after they came on board, and honestly, I should’ve done it sooner.  They’re an award-winning KiwiSaver provider with strong long‑term performance.

    Shane Jones on Surviving Cancer, Winston & 40 Years of Headlines

    Shanes Jones is one of New Zealand’s most polarizing and fascinating politicians. He started his parliament life in Labour 20 odd years ago. Now he is the deputy leader of NZ First and the Minister for Oceans and Fisheries of New Zealand. This is his first ever long form podcast about the person rather than policy. + We talk about his early life growing up in the Far North and his love of language. + Becoming a father at a young age. + His bowel cancer journey and how a foot massage in China may have saved his life. + His honest assessment of Helen Clarkes leadership and what Winston Peters is like when the cameras are off. + And some of the most controversial headlines of his career: including his headline grabbing remarks about immigration, mining, Nicola Willis, his public feud with Matt Watson. And also the truth behind his recent Canada travel controversy. + Shane also discusses his thoughts on ageing, apologising, flaws and the legacy he hopes to leave for his children and grandchildren. This is Shane Jones as you rarely hear him: the person behind the public persona. *** This episode has been brought to you by the legends at Odoo.

    Brent Eccles: Rock Stardom, Ruthless Deals & the Truth About the Concert Business

    Brent Eccles has spent more than 50 years in the music business, both on and off stage. He played drums in the iconic Australian rock band, The Angels. Then at 45 years old he came home to New Zealand and became one of our most successful and respected concert promoters. Brent has played drums onstage with Guns N’ Roses, lost hundreds of thousands of dollars on concerts, sold 50,000 tickets to SIX60 in minutes and, during Covid, was officially ranked the number one concert promoter in the world. We talk about all this stuff in the podcast- the good the bad and the ugly. He also has a reputation for being quite intimidating. We address that as well!  But underneath all that is a bloke who absolutely loves music, loves New Zealand and, more than anything, loves and wants to protect his family. *** Massive thanks to my long-term podcast sponsor, Generate.  We’ve all got that one mate who’s convinced they’ve worked out how to beat the market, usually with a lot of confidence and no actual expertise.   So, here's your reminder not to get caught up in the noise and trust the real investment experts at Generate.   I sat down with a Generate KiwiSaver adviser when they came on as sponsor in 2023, and it was one of those conversations that made me think, why didn’t I do this earlier?  A Generate adviser can help you figure out what fund type is best suited to your KiwiSaver goals.   Start planning now—Book a no cost  chat with an adviser at generatekiwisaver.co.nz/dom  The issuer of the scheme is Generate Investment Management Limited.

All your business, on one platform. *** Craig Piggott is the founder and CEO of Halter, one of New Zealand’s fastest-growing companies- they make GPS collars for cows that can do away with the need for physical fences. This wild idea he had 10 years ago is now a company valued at over 3 billion dollars. He was also named 2026 New Zealand Innovator of the Year. This conversation sees Craig Piggot open up about his life and career in a way he has never done before. He talks about being a very average student, scraping into engineering at university, and eventually landing a job at Rocket Lab after cornering Sir Peter Beck at a university event. That experience would completely change what he believed was possible. After just nine months at Rocket Lab, Craig left to start Halter. We talk about why Peter Beck backed him, why the first few years were so brutal, and why there were moments when he would have happily gone back to his old job. There is also some incredibly personal insights about leadership, pressure, marriage, becoming a dad, work-life balance, culture, and staying grounded when the company you started becomes one of New Zealand’s biggest startup success stories.

    Grant Baker: Backing Liam Lawson, Ferraris, Cancer & The $138M Exit

    Grant Baker is one of those podcast guests where you may or may not know the name. But you most definitely know the brands he has had a hand in building. He’s built companies, sold companies, backed big ideas, helped turn 42 Below from a boutique business into a behemoth, had a hand in turning Turners into one of New Zealand’s most recognisable brands, and along the way has collected a fairly ridiculous number of Ferraris But this conversation, Grants first ever podcast, is about much more than money and cars. Grant talks about growing up being told he was never going to amount to much, dropping out of teachers’ college, learning sales, making and losing money, working for and with Eric Watson, surviving bowel cancer, helping Liam Lawson get to Formula One and why he is obsessed with Ferraris. He’s blunt, funny, incredibly driven, and this episode is a masterclass in business, risk, resilience and backing yourself. *** Massive thanks to my long-term podcast sponsor, Generate.  We’ve all got that one mate who’s convinced they’ve worked out how to beat the market, usually with a lot of confidence and no actual expertise.   So, here's your reminder not to get caught up in the noise and trust the real investment experts at Generate.   I sat down with a Generate KiwiSaver adviser when they came on as sponsor in 2023, and it was one of those conversations that made me think, why didn’t I do this earlier?  A Generate adviser can help you figure out what fund type is best suited to your KiwiSaver goals.   Start planning now!
