The Practice Run is three mates staying connected, talking life, laughing too much, debating the small stuff like it matters, and learning from each other as they go. Hosted by Rawiri, Tu, and Sam, the show sits somewhere between lifestyle, sport, growth, culture, and complete chaos. One minute it might be coaching, Hyrox, marathons, fitness, money, mindset, or what’s in the pipeline. The next, it might be an outlandish take, a debate that goes way too far, or one of the boys trying to bring the conversation back before it derails. It’s not formal education. It’s not polished self-help. It’s street-smart conversations between three men trying to get better, stay ambitious, stay connected, and have a laugh while figuring life out. This is growth in real time. This is the reps before the breakthrough. This is The Practice Run.
