Today’s guest is Man Can Cook - a man, who coincidently, can cook ridiculously delicious food. He does this with his Pug, Fraser.

Daniel Rankin’s cooking videos draw you in because he’s always dressed up or Fraser the pug is always dressed up and there’s food being cooked, and Fraser is so well-behaved but it’s hectic and brilliant and I just had to chat to him. You can follow him on Instagram and TikTok, the vibes are fabulous.

Daniel is also the owner and head coach of a gym here in Tamaki Makaurau.

Today’s guest is part of a very very small group of women here in Aotearoa.

Chelsea Roper - aka SheBuildsBro is a graphic designer turned carpenter - and makes up part of the 2.6 percent of tradies who are women. 

She got into a trade after she and her partner packed up and left Auckland for Queenstown, and she wanted to be able to help build their own home!

She uses her platform to encourage and educate other women to get amongst it, and is kicking down the doors and holding them open for others to come through, and we love that.

Chelsea also shares her story of recently battling Endometriosis.

Today’s guest is someone at the helm of a brilliant student organisation we all know and love! The amazing mahi of the Student Volunteer Army has turned it into a nationally-recognised crisis response team, ever since thousands of students mobilised following the Christchurch Earthquakes.

Emily Byrne is the chief executive - and is with me this week. Her passion for helping others is pretty inspiring - from being a St John Badger as a kid to fostering 60 kittens over the years!

Today’s guest is Campbell Johnstone.

He is the first openly gay All Black - after making the decision to come out on national television last year.

Since then, Campbell has become an amazing advocate for inclusion and diversity in sport. And, the title "first openly gay All Black" is one he's happy to sit with if it helps create change. 

It's also wedding year for Campbell and his fiancé Ben - find out what Campbell suggested for the wedding that's meant he's banned from organising it haha!

Today’s guest is in my opinion - one of the coolest local body politicians you will find. And yes I said cool and politician in the same sentence!Richard Hills has been on Auckland Council since 2016 - he became the youngest person on council and lord knows we need more young people in local government!

You can actually hear the passion in his voice - he is genuinely in the job to make the city a better place - it's so lovely to hear!

Richard is one of the good ones, and I hope you enjoy listening to a lovely man with a brilliant heart as much as I did!
