    David Melse - Starting Again When Plans Fail

    What happens when the life you planned doesn’t work out? In this episode, David Melse opens up about separation, moving back to New Zealand when his overseas plans collapsed, and what it really feels like to start again from scratch. We talk about: The identity hit that comes with separation The quiet shame of coming home when it “didn’t work” Rebuilding confidence when your world shrinks The hidden ways fear of rejection shaped his business decisions And how unresolved rejection can quietly limit your growth This conversation isn’t polished. It’s honest. Because starting over isn’t just a logistical reset, it’s an identity reset. If you’ve ever felt like you’re rebuilding while everyone else seems to be accelerating, this one’s for you.

    Growing Up Under Apartheid, They Never Treated Us Like Humans, Until I Did the Work to Heal

    In this deeply moving conversation, I sit down with Ingrid Gomez, a woman whose life has been shaped by both injustice and incredible resilience. Growing up in South Africa as a person of colour during the apartheid era, Ingrid experienced systemic racism firsthand unequal education, racial violence, and a constant message that people like her were less than. Fighting for equal education often meant going against the law, and living under a government that never treated her as fully human. In 2003, Ingrid moved to New Zealand believing she was leaving the past behind. But as she vulnerably shares in this episode, leaving a place doesn’t heal what lives inside you. Years later, after going through the NeuroFit programme, Ingrid finally processed the pain she had carried for decades. What followed wasn’t just understanding it was forgiveness. Forgiveness of the government, the system, and the weight she’d unknowingly been carrying most of her life. This episode is about: The long-term psychological impact of apartheid Why unresolved pain follows us, even across continents What real healing actually looks like later in life And how forgiveness can become an act of freedom, not denial This is not a history lesson. It’s a human story. And one that will stay with you long after the episode ends.

    Winning at relationships / Saying goodbye to porn

    For our final episode of the year, I sit down with Oswald and James for a raw, unfiltered Christmas special — answering the real questions you sent in. Nothing scripted. Nothing polished. Just three guys having the kinds of conversations most people avoid… especially at this time of year. We dive into: • Self-sabotaging relationships — why we push away the connection we actually want • Parenting pressure — the weight mums and dads carry that no one sees • Porn & pain — the emotional roots behind the addiction and what healing can look like • Managing family tension at Christmas — how to stay grounded when everyone’s on edge • Identity, hope, and breaking the cycles that keep us stuck This episode is real, vulnerable, and grounding — the kind of conversation that feels like sitting with people who finally “get it.” If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed during the holidays, stuck in old patterns, or battling hidden shame, this one might meet you right where you are. Tune in, lean in, and let these conversations trigger a bit of reflection before the year ends.

    A Gang Kid’s Childhood, a Broken Identity, and Freedom From an Unxpected Source - James August

    In this episode, Rico sits down with James August, a business owner, creative, and co-owner of Christchurch café Rook, to unpack a story that started in a gang environment and led to genuine freedom. James shares what it was like growing up in a home shaped by gang culture and volatility, where both emotional and physical safety were constantly under threat. He opens up about the belief that became a script in his life, that he was “broken”, and how a moment that should have brought hope, walking out of a health professional’s office, actually reinforced that lie instead. They talk candidly about identity, self worth, and the cost of carrying that “broken” label into adulthood, business, and relationships, including life after divorce. James also shares what started to shift that inner narrative, and what freedom and healing look like for him today. If you have ever felt defined by your past, your family environment, or your darkest moments, this conversation will speak to you.
