    #33 Why Telling People What to Do Doesn’t Work: Gareth Holebrook

    In this episode, Grant speaks with Gareth Holebrook, President of North Harbour Tri Club, PREKURE Health Coach, and business coach, about leadership, influence, and why instruction alone rarely creates change. Gareth’s leadership philosophy has been shaped by an unconventional career path. Thirty years ago, he served in the Royal Navy as an engineer, with ambitions to become an engineering officer. After being made redundant in 1984, he went on to work in Japan’s tech sector, where he was exposed to very different approaches to leadership, learning, and performance. Drawing on those experiences, Gareth explains how the techniques he learned in Japan now underpin his work in business coaching and health coaching. At the core is a simple but challenging idea: if you tell people what to do, they’re unlikely to want to do it. Real leadership, and real behaviour change, comes from creating the conditions where people choose change for themselves. A practical conversation about leadership, coaching, and how to move people forward without force.

    #29 Finding a Path Through Glioblastoma with Metabolic Therapy: Simon’s Story

    When Simon suddenly couldn’t say the word “kilometre”, life flipped. Weeks later, a 4 cm frontal lobe tumour, urgent surgery with 94% resection, and ten days on the diagnosis: glioblastoma. In this episode, Simon and Kate share the shock, the sprint through ED to theatre, and the pivotal introduction to Dr Matthew Phillips’ metabolic therapy trial. We dig into the protocol-keto, intermittent fasting, five-day fasts aligned with chemo/radiation, and one-meal-a-day plus why Simon kept running 30-40 km a week through treatment. They talk candidly about energy, weight loss, a single seizure, extraordinary clinical support, and MRIs showing no recurrence post-treatment (Dec 2024 and again eight months later). You’ll hear the role of family, why they agreed to “learn together” and stop solo Googling, how to ask about trials, and what “focus on the here and now” looks like when the stakes are highest. A grounded, hopeful conversation about agency, discipline, and a life rebuilt.
