    In this episode of PEP Talk, we speak with Ruta Tonumaivao — community leader, systems navigator, and co-founder of Tapasā Navigating Futures. Ruta shares how her leadership journey didn’t begin in an office or a boardroom, but in a busy West Auckland home where multiple generations lived together and service to family was simply a way of life. From helping her parents navigate systems as a child to supporting communities today, her story shows how leadership often grows quietly through responsibility, culture, and care for others. This conversation explores: How culture shapes leadership identity Why service is stronger than status Navigating two worlds as a Pacific New Zealander Turning lived experience into community impact PEP Talk shares real conversations with purpose-driven leaders building stronger communities.

    This Is Just the Beginning | The Vision Behind PaCIVICa (PEP Talk S1 E3)

    Something powerful is growing in West Auckland — and this is just the beginning. In this episode of Pep Talk, we share a major update: Salā Marie Young steps into the CEO role at PaCIVICa The vision to see a Pacific Prime Minister within 20 years How PaCIVICa was incubated through Purpose Empowered People Why leadership pathways must begin early — from prefect to Parliament PaCIVICa exists to create the conditions for greater Pacific representation in civic leadership — not by accident, but by design. As Marie shares in this episode, Prime Ministers don’t “pop out of thin air.” They are shaped by pathways, governance experience, and community support  . We believe leadership should be normalised from a young age — so that Pacific voices are present at every table where decisions are made. Purpose Empowered People (PEP) continues its mission to build strategy, systems and story — incubating bold ideas like PaCIVICa into reality  . If this resonates with you: Like. Subscribe. Share. Because this is only the beginning. (c) 2026 Purpose Empowered People Ltd Hosted on Ausha. See ausha.co/privacy-policy for more information.

    PEP Talk Season 1 is a wrap

    Season One of PEP Talk wraps up with a reflective conversation on purpose, governance, community work, and what we’ve learned along the way. In this episode, Simon and Marie look back on a year spent working alongside purpose-led businesses, social enterprises, churches, and community leaders — people doing meaningful work, often under pressure and with limited resources. We talk about: • Why clarity matters more than more ideas • The hidden governance load carried by Pacific and Indigenous organisations • What it really takes to move from vision to proof of concept • Lessons from launching PaCIVICa as a civic leadership pilot and trust • Why learning by doing beats theory alone This is a conversation about purpose in practice — not perfection, not hype, but real people building real things in real communities. Thank you to everyone who has supported PEP Talk through Season One. Season Two returns in 2026. (c) 2025 Pacific Enterprise People Ltd Hosted on Ausha.

    Capitalism, Indigenous Wisdom & the Honorable Harvest | PEP Talk with Simon & Marie

    Capitalism promises progress — yet many of us feel the system is breaking under its own weight. In this episode of PEP Talk, Simon and Marie explore a different way forward, inspired by Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer. Drawing from Indigenous worldviews, the Honorable Harvest, and our relationship with whenua, they unpack what a values-aligned, relational economy might look like — one that honours people, planet, and purpose. You’ll hear about: Why capitalism leaves so many behind  The Indigenous principle of reciprocity What it means to treat land and resources as kin The Honourable Harvest and its everyday relevance How business and Indigenous values can absolutely co-exist If you’re exploring purpose-led leadership, social enterprise, or Indigenous thinking in modern business — this one will resonate. ✨ Join the PEP community: https://pep.nz (c) 2025 Pacific Enterprise People Ltd Hosted on Ausha.
