Beast Games was an incredible series from the worlds biggest You Tube star, Jimmy Donaldson (better known as Mr.Beast). Jeff Allen beat 999 other competitors to win the whole series and in doing so took home the largest cash prize in TV history- $10 million USD. This podcast is a small part of the Jeff Allen story.

His seven-year-old special needs son Lucas and what the prize money means for their family. Lessons about human behavior Some behind the scenes secrets of the biggest game show ever produced. What is Mr. Beast like off camera and much much more. I can’t thank Jeff enough for his time. I slid into his DMs on Instagram and he agreed to do the podcast even though he has never been to New Zealand and doesn’t know me from a bar of soap (which made this chat even cooler for me). So I hope you guys like it. To follow Jeff and his families story, this is his IG handle: https://www.instagram.com/legacy.831/ Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Steve Williams TELLS ALL on Tiger Woods' Highs & Lows, Regrets About Getting Fired & More!
Steve Williams first appeared on the podcast in February 2024. Now he has a brand-new book out called “Together We Roared” all about his partnership with Tiger Woods and he is back for round 2! He doesn’t do a lot of stuff like this so to have him on the podcast- TWICE- is a massive honour. Steve is best known for his 12-year partnership with Tiger Woods, during which they won 13 major championships together. Before Tiger, he worked with legends of the game like Greg Norman and Raymond Floyd. After Tiger, he worked with Adam Scott, winning another major. He is the greatest golf caddy of all time. And to top it off, he’s a good dude. Him and his wife Kirsty have given so much time and money to good causes over the years, which we touch upon early in this episode. The book “Together We Roared” is out now. This podcast focuses on that book and the dynamics of Steves relationship with Tiger. For a more in depth look at Steve as a person, I’d recommend going back and listening to our podcast from February 2024. I have loved spending time with Steve on both occasions, so I hope you enjoy listening to this episode. *** Thanks so much to the incredible team at Generate Kiwisaver for sponsoring this episode.

Mark Hunt Claims Victory in UFC Lawsuit vs. Dana White, Reflects on Gambling & Childhood Trauma
Mark Hunt is one of the toughest fighters to ever step into a ring or octagon. This episode needs to come with a very strong warning. There is a lot of coarse language. Also, other themes which could be unsuitable for some: drugs, alcohol, gambling, violence, and extreme childhood trauma. None of this is done in a gratuitous way- Marks life has been one of extreme highs and lows and he is a man who doesn’t shy away from any of it. I’ve included a list of helpful resources at the bottom of this page in case any of the content covered raises concerns for you or someone you care about. Some of the subjects we cover include his ongoing legal battle with UFC which stems from his staunch anti-doping stance. This legal is stuff has been consuming Marks life in recent years and that becomes very clear during this podcast. Beyond that we talk about his future aspirations in philanthropy and business. His horrific childhood, forgiveness towards his abusive parents and breaking free from past traumas that shaped him Lessons from imprisonment as a young man. His reflections on dealing with various addictions. Lessons from therapy and much more. My goal with all these discussions is to try and get a better understanding of a person and their choices through non-judgemental conversation. Thank you for listening and understanding.

How to Live a Sober Life - Ex-Alcoholic on Warning Signs, 'Hangxiety' & Rewiring Your Brain
Victoria Vanstone is a British-born author, blogger, and podcast host who now lives on the Sunshine coast in Australia. She is a reformed “party girl” (her words, not mine) who is now living her best life sharing her sobriety journey. She is a woman on a mission to help others stuck in a pattern of normalized social binge drinking. It seems like whatever Victoria does- she does at 100 miles an hour. She was like this in her party girl era, which you’ll hear about. And now she is the same way with sobriety: She’s written a HILARIOUS book called “1000 Wasted Sundays” And she hosts an award-winning podcast called “Sober Awkward.” That is how we connected- she was in New Zealand doing a live podcast show for Kiwi fans of the Sober Awkward podcast. This podcast episode will be especially beneficial for anyone who is questioning their own personal relationship with alcohol and has been perhaps contemplating how a life without alcohol may look. But even if alcohol is not a concern for you, I think you’ll love getting to learn a bit more about Victoria- she’s awesome.

FastCast: Shihad’s Jon Toogood Reflects on Name Change to Pacifier & the Joke That Cost Him $2 Million
Jon Toogood is the leader of Shihad, one of the greatest NZ bands of all time. They formed in Wellington in 1988 and at the time of releasing this Fastcast, in March 2025, they are about to play their final show in Wellington. Then…that’s it! Will they get back together for reunion shows in the future? Maybe. Hopefully. But as a full-time band, that is it for now. It truly is the end of a huge era. Shahad’s dynamic, energetic and charismatic singer Jon Toogood joined me on the podcast for what became one of the most listened to episodes of 2024.

Christchurch Mosque Attack Survivor- Temel Atacocugu Was Shot 9 Times & Lived to Tell the Story
This podcast needs to come with a very strong warning. It is a very graphic account of the darkest day in New Zealand’s history. Please listen with caution. On March 15, 2019, Temel Atacocugu was praying at the Al Noor Mosque in Christchurch when a white supremacist terrorist stormed in. At the end of the despicable cowardly attack which shocked and disgusted New Zealand and the world, 51 worshippers were dead and a further 40 were injured by gunfire. Temel Atacocugu miraculously survived the attack and walked out of the mosque and into the ambulance after being shot a total of nine times. This is part of his story: His early years in Turkey and his move to New Zealand after meeting and falling in love with a ow he ended up falling in love with a Kiwi. What his life looked like before the shooting. His recollections of that unimaginable day in 2019. Then the long, slow and painful road to healing. Including countless operations, attending court proceedings and addressing the terrorist, living with PTSD, survivor's guilt, struggles with ACC and more. This was the first time Temel and I met. And, to me, he looked fit, happy and healthy. For me this was a good reminder that from outward appearances you never know what someone is going through or what they have experienced. If Temel had one key takeaway, it would be for each of us to do our bit to make NZ peaceful, safe and kind for future generations. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This is a special FastCast for International Woman’s Day 2025! Three short snippets of the Dame’s I’ve been lucky enough to have on the podcast so far.

Andrew Mulligan on Crowd Goes Wild’s Glory Days Steven Adams, Olympic Interviewing Strategy
Andrew Mulligan is one of the most employed people in New Zealand media. You can hear Mulls on breakfast radio on the Rock breakfast show, it’s a fantastic show that’s been performing at a gold star standard for years. You can watch him on TV in the evenings on Crowd Goes Wild, a show that he’s been involved with since it launched back in 2006. Then when the ad’s come on you’ll hear him on the Rebel Sport commercials. If you are flying somewhere, you will see him on the Air NZ safety video. And if you have watched the Breakers play basketball, chances are you have heard his commentary. Or seen him interviewing Olympic athletes immediately after their events. I have my theories about Mulls success and employability in the media which is a notoriously fickle industry. Firstly, he is incredibly talented and very funny. Alongside his talent he has an incredible work ethic and is very easy to get along with. You would struggle to find anyone who says a bad word about Andrew Mulligan. This is a part of the Mulls story. I’d like to think of this as an attempt to deconstruct one of New Zealand’s most successful broadcasters, a peak into the mind of the guy you don’t get to see with his numerous on-air roles. Hope you like this conversation as much as I did. Dom Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Gloriavale Survivor - Exposing Abuse & Cult in India, Consequences of Leaving
At just 18 years old, Theo Pratt made the terrifying decision to leave the Gloriavale cult and everything she’d ever known—her family, her home, her entire way of life- absolutely everything she had known since birth. She was dropped at a bus stop with just a suitcase, $200 cash, and no idea what came next. Then after some heartbreaking final words from her mum and brother, she took her first ever bus into the unknown. What she has done in the 8 years since then is impressive. She has built a cool life for herself including learning all the life skills we all take for granted- like opening a bank account, getting her first phone and grocery shopping. She has also got a degree, become an occupational therapist, fallen in love and bought a house. Oh, and now writing a book: “Unveiled.” Here’s a link for the book: https://www.mightyape.co.nz/mn/buy/mighty-ape-unveiled-39218988/ And she has become a fierce advocate for those still trapped in Gloriavale, like her sister Precious, and those trying to rebuild after leaving. This is a small part of the Theo Pratt story. A revealing look into day-to-day life as a child in Gloriavale, the process of leaving then the unseen struggle of rebuilding. *** Thanks to the sponsors of this episode, the team at Generate.

FastCast: Joseph Parker on Fury Friendship, Prize Money, Depression & Life After Boxing
The FastCast is a highlights length version of a previously released episode of The Dom Harvey Podcast. The hope is if you like this Fastcast, you’ll go back into the archives and listen to the full-length episode sometime. Joseph Parker, one of NZs greatest boxers of all time, joined me on the podcast in May 2022. I thought I’d revisit our podcast and share it as a Fastcast because Joseph is on a 5 fight win streak and this weekend he has the opportunity to make that 6 with a fight against British fighter Daniel Dubois. We talk about his introduction to boxing as a 12 year old. How he teamed up with his coach Andy Lee. His friendship with Tyson Fury,. How his childhood sweetheart became his wife.

Jackson Garden-Bachop - Losing his Brother Connor, Dealing with Grief & Overcoming Addiction
Jackson Garden-Bachop plays super rugby for Moana Pasifika. He was destined to be a pro rugby player- his dad was an All Black, his mum was a Black Fern, and his cousins were All Blacks. Jackson began his professional career with the Wellington Lions as a teenager in 2013 and last year celebrated his 100th game for the province. The last player to do that was Tana Umaga who is now his coach at Moana Pasifika. This is part of the Jackson Garden-Bachop story. His reflections on growing up with high performance parents, the pressures of social media, the impact of losing his mum to leukemia as a teenager and the heartbreaking loss of his younger brother Connor to an undiagnosed medical condition last year, the lessons learned from adversity, the complexities of grief, the importance of authenticity and so much more. Jackson is the real deal! A man who doesn’t shy away from the ugly parts of his life and a man who has learned to lean into vulnerability. To get this sort of level of unfiltered authenticity from someone who is still at the peak of their playing career was refreshing and new. In my opinion, this makes Jackson Garden-Bachop a role model. Have a listen and make your own mind up. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

FastCast: David Seymour on Losing Mum to Cancer, Twerking, Gaffes & Tall Poppy
David Seymour, maybe the most polarizing and divisive politician in New Zealand, joined me on the podcast at the start of 2023. I thought I’d revisit our podcast and share it as a Fastcast because he recently confirmed he is engaged to his partner of two years, Alexandra Martelli. One of the standout moments for me in our conversation was about a home-made DVD that David has which he has never ever played. It was given to him in his early 20s by his mum just before she died from cancer. The DVD was intended as a gift for David to give to his life partner. So, assuming they can find a working DVD player, Alexandra will be the recipient of that very special DVD. Also, in this Fastcast we run through David's catalogue of viral media gaffes. His thoughts on tall poppy syndrome. And reflections on twerking on DWTS and some valuable life lessons. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Stephen From Dunedin - NZ's Most Infamous Radio Fan, Givealittle Bucket List Trip & More!
How do I describe Stephen from Dunedin to someone who has never heard of him before? Well, his name is Stephen, and he is from Dunedin. He is obsessed with Facebook, Radio and Otago sports. In the early 2000s, Stephen gained a bit of a cult following with his frequent appearances on New Zealand radio stations as a phone caller. His favorite radio station was whatever one would give him airtime. Then for a long period of time, he was banned from almost every radio show in NZ for abusing producers who wouldn’t put him on the air. The only show who never banned him was the breakfast show on The Edge that I was part of. What I loved about having Stephen as a regular caller was that he was polarizing- people either loved him or loathed him, there was never any middle ground. Blandness doesn’t win radio ratings, and bland is most definitely not a word you’d associate with Stephen. In January 2025 Stephen was in Auckland for a trip to Los Angeles which we postponed at the last minute due to the devastating fires and his dad’s worsening health. So, I promised him I would bring him into the PodLab studios and have him as a guest on my podcast. Sadly, a week after recording this episode, Stephen’s father- Robin Gibson- passed away. If you remember Stephen from his on-air appearances on The Edge breakfast show, this will bring back some (hopefully) cool memories. For everyone else who is listening, you are about to become acquainted with who I believe is one of New Zealand’s great characters- Stephen Gibson aka Stephen from Dunedin.

Michael Galvin aka Dr. Chris Warner, 30 Years of Shortland Street, D**k Pic Scene & Conan O’Brien
If you say the name Dr. Chris Warner, I think 9 out of 10 New Zealanders would probably know exactly who you are talking about! The Shortland Street character, played by Michael Galvin, has been a core cast member in the New Zealand hospital drama for over 30 years. He was on episode 1 of the show back in 1992 and he is still seeing patients at the fictional Ferndale clinic now. It is hard to imagine Shortland Street without Chris Warner. This podcast is a small part of the Michael Galvin story. We talk Shortland Street- then and now- including the ferocious criticism the show received when it first launched. And his iconic line, “please tell me that is not your penis.” How Michael coped with the intense fame in the late 90s when Shortland Street cast members were as famous as All Blacks. Michaels personal journey with mental health, anxiety and depression, including a panic attack while filming one day. And the role meditation plays in his life now. His pride in the relationship he has with his daughter and his thoughts on becoming an empty nester. How he would like Chris Warner's story to end and much much more. *** Just before we crack into it, I want to thank my epic sponsors at Generate who made this episode possible. Something to ask yourself - what do you see yourself doing in retirement? Moving to the beach? Exploring the world? Spending more time with friends and family? Whatever your dream, there’s one big question —how much will it cost? That’s why choosing a KiwiSaver provider with strong long-term performance matters. Generate is an award-winning KiwiSaver provider with a track record of delivering strong long-term returns- I can vouch for this myself, but you can see their latest returns for yourself on their website.

Mark Longley Reflects on Emily Longley’s Life, Her 2011 Murder & Shares Domestic Violence Warning
Mark Longley’s life was plunged into unimaginable grief in 2011 when, at the age of 17, his daughter Emily Longley was murdered by her boyfriend. In this conversation Mark shares memories of Emily and who she was and the joy she brought to his life. We talk about coping with the challenges of grief and how he managed to avoid being totally consumed by it. The importance of making a stand against violence and the emotional toll of the trial that followed Emily's tragic death. Mark reflects on his relationship with Emily, the last moments they shared, and how he has navigated the complexities of loss while striving to keep her spirit alive. Since his daughter’s life was taken Mark has done a huge amount of important advocacy work in this space which has potentially saved others from going through the tragedy his family has endured. I didn’t know Emily at all. But I have no doubt she would be incredibly proud of her dad.

Sir Peter Beck, Founder of Rocket Lab - The Kiwi Billionaire Competing with Elon Musk & Jeff Bezos
In 2006, Peter Beck from Invercargill at the bottom of New Zealand founded a company called Rocketlab with a dream of building rockets and sending them into space. A lot has happened in the 19 years since then. Personally, Peter Beck has been named the Kiwi Bank New Zealander of the year. He has also received a Knighthood. Professionally, the company he started is now worth around 15 billion dollars and employees around 2000 people. And is mentioned in the same conversations as Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos. This is part of the Sir Peter Beck and Rocketlab story. For the hard core Rocket nerds, I need to warn you, this is Peters first ever pod cast focusing on him. So, if you are hoping for some in depth rocket science, you may be disappointed. We talk about his early years in Invercargill where his obsession with space began. Why he never went to university The intense anxiousness he personally feels with each launch. Competing with Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos His thoughts on Tall Poppy syndrome. His final conversation with his father and so much more. I loved this conversation so much and left feeling a huge amount of pride as a kiwi.

FastCast: Jeremy Wells on Running, Rock-bottom, Radio, Relatability
The FastCast is a highlights length version of a previously released episode of The Dom Harvey Podcast. The complete episode with Jeremy Wells was one of the first podcast episodes I ever recorded. It was released originally released in March 2022. I took my equipment over to Jeremy’s house and we sat in his office and recorded the episode- it was a hot day and I was anxious which caused me to sweat profusely. Jeremy Wells is one of New Zealand’s top broadcasters- he hosted the breakfast show on Radio Hauraki. And the nightly TV show 7Sharp with Hillary Barry. In his 20’s he was part of the iconic TV comedy duo, Havoc and Newsboy. This FastCast is part of Jeremys story. He speaks candidly about his teenage years where he went off the rails causing his parents great concern with substance abuse and even considered ending his own life at his lowest moment. And we discuss the art of catering for 2 very different audiences on his radio and TV shows. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

UFC legend Dan Hooker called into the Podlab studios in Auckland for one of the most memorable podcast episodes I’ve done so far- if you are yet to listen, it is well worth checking out.

The Kiwi Creator who Interviewed Mila Kunis, Ashton Kutcher, Terry Crews & Tony Hawk - Fraser Grut
Fraser Grut is possibly one of those podcast guests that you are just hearing about now. I first met Fraser around 8 years ago and I’ve been following his progress since then. Fraser is a content creator and storyteller who has spent the last 9 years of his life filming people and asking them one real simple question: what is your dream? His goal is to film 10,000 dreams. So far, he has filmed 2000 from regular Kiwis as well as many massive international stars. Like Tony Hawke, Ashton Kutcher, Mila Kunis, Terry Crews, Piers Morgan, Elle Macpherson, Mark Cuban, Ronan Keating and even Elmo! For a bit of perspective about the magnitude of this project- if he filmed one dream each day it would take 27 years to make it to 10,000. In this chat we talk about Frasers “why” and get to learn a little bit about the man behind the ambitious project. The importance of persistence. The difference between dreams and goals. And what he did to seriously piss off Rick Astley. Here are the links to follow Frasers project: https://www.instagram.com/frasergrut/?hl=en https://www.10000dreams.org/about Hosted on Acast.

Dame Julie Christie is a powerhouse businesswoman and TV producer. She became a Dame in 2017 and in late 2024 she was named “Legend of the year” at the NZ TV awards. She has been called many things over the years- the Queen of Reality TV is a popular one. One newspaper columnist called her a Cultural Vandal once- we get into all the criticism in this conversation. Me? I’d call Dame Julie Christie a mate. And a person with a big heart and an even bigger work ethic. In this wide-ranging conversation, we talk about her early years growing up and how that shaper her, her path from journalism into TV, the TV shows and the huge careers she helped build, the criticism and backlash, work life balance, her thoughts on the state of reality TV now with shows like Love Island, regrets, reflections, lessons and much much more. You may or may not know the name- but you have definitely consumed hours of TV made by Dame Julie over your lifetime. And you are about to lean more about a great New Zealander- one who is incredibly reluctant to talk about herself- so this is a rare treat. *** Thanks so much to the sponsors of this episode, the epic team at the Generate KiwiSaver Scheme.

Former Alcoholic: How I Knew I Had A Drinking Problem! Guy Wills on Mental Health & Getting Sober
Guy Wills is an Alcohol Behavioural Coach who specialises in the areas of mental health, wellbeing, and addiction. Online he shares his content about living an alcohol-free lifestyle under the name “Right Mate” which is the greeting he uses to start all his videos. I first met Guy at the start of 2022 when he was just at the beginning of his sobriety journey. In the 3 years since then his life has changed exponentially for the better and it’s been really cool watching him thrive. This podcast is a small part of the Guy Wills and “Right Mate” story: From rock bottom to his first AA meeting and life beyond alcohol. I’d like to think this content is evergreen, but I am intentionally releasing it at the beginning of the year because this is the time where a lot of us look to make changes in our lives around our own personal relationships with alcohol. Whatever your relationship with alcohol is like, I hope you enjoy getting to learn a little bit about my mate, Guy Wills. https://www.rightmate.co.nz/ https://www.instagram.com/rightmatenz/ Hosted on Acast.

Tennis Star, Lulu Sun on Making Wimbledon Quarterfinal, Representing New Zealand & More!
Lulu Sun is currently ranked as the 40th best tennis player in the world. And she is a kiwi, born in TeAnau. She shot to fame in the middle of 2024 with an out the gate performance at Wimbledon where, after making it through the intense qualifying rounds she got into the tournament itself then kept on winning, only exiting the event after being beaten in the quarter final. And that was after beating England’s Emma Raducanu on Wimbledon’s center court. This put her in the history books as the first NZ woman to make it that far at Wimbledon and the first Kiwi in 41 years to play a single match on center court. That tournament shot her up the world rankings, saw her named as WTA newcomer of the year and earned her $780,000NZD- which was 3 times the total prize money she had won in her whole tennis career to that point. I caught up with Lulu on Boxing Day while she was back in NZ for the ASB Classic. Unfortunately, due to her hectic training schedule we only had 45 minutes. And I did a terrible job at time keeping so the conversation comes to a fairly abrupt end- sort of like a tennis match that gets rained off mid-way through the second set. Thanks so much to the sponsors of this episode, the epic team at the Generate KiwiSaver Scheme. If you set yourself up for one real easy win in 2025, it should be to take a more active interest in your Kiwisaver!

Tony’s mid-life eating disorder. His incredible work ethic. The craziest excesses of the 1980s and so much more.

Garth Barfoot - The OLDEST Person to Run the 2024 New York Marathon
Garth Barfoot is 88 years old and, a few weeks ago, was the oldest finisher in the 2024 New York marathon. This is his second time on the podcast- last time he came on was in 2022 when he was just on his way to London for the marathon. What makes Garths story even more inspiring is he was a late bloomer- did not even start running until his early 50s. In this conversation with this truly great New Zealander we talk about his whole recent New York experience. We go back for a look at his childhood and what it was like being a kid in NZ during the second world war. We chat about his career in real estate at the firm his dad established- Barfoot and Thompson. He shares some valuable life lessons, including the importance of staying positive, adapting to modern technology and the keys to a fulfilling retirement and his aspirations he holds for the future, particularly in relation to his passion for marathons. Garth is the man. He inspires me and gives me a glimpse into just how awesome life can look in your 80s if you stay fit and healthy (and have a little bit if luck). Hope you guys like this one.

Stefan Ozich - Running NZ Twice & Raising $1 Million for Men’s Mental Health After Death of Brother
The Stefan Ozich podcast. We recorded this podcast in late September 2024, just days before Stefan embarked on a daunting running and fundraising attempt: His plan is to run the length of NZ on the Te Araroa trail. Twice.

At the time of releasing this podcast (November 2024) Stefan is halfway through the run and has raised over $100,000 for the men’s mental health charity, the Last Chance Project. We unpack Stefan's personal experiences with loss, particularly the suicide of his brother, and how this tragedy has shaped his mission to help others. This is part of the Stefan Ozrich story.

Tom Sainsbury On Being 75% Gay, Chris Parker Friendship, Jacinda Ardern Controversy & Donating Sperm
Tom Sainsbury is a comedian, actor, writer, director, podcaster. And these are just a few of the many hats he wears. I’ve been a fan of Tom’s social media videos for ages, so this was an honor to get to sit down and learn a bit more about the man behind the hundreds of characters he has bought to life. We spent the first 20 minutes talking about the inner workings of his social media sketches where he is the master of observation. He has a massive talent for mimicking the mannerisms of New Zealanders. We discuss his upbringing in rural Waikato and how being a farm kid steered him towards becoming a vegan. His sexuality. Why he is 75% gay and why he didn’t come out to his parents until he was 28. His journey as a sperm donor for a lesbian couple and his role as a biological parent. His awkward encounter with Katy Perry in Las Vegas The huge lie he told to land his first ever acting job. Why he practices Buddhism and much more. I get the feeling Tom is possibly more comfortable observing and channeling others than revealing too much of himself, so this was a real treat. I loved it and I hope you do as well. *** Tom Sainsbury and friends are on stage at Auckland's Q theatre until December 7 for "Camping" Here is the link for tickets, times, etc.... https://silotheatre.co.nz/show/camping Hosted on Acast.

Dai Henwood on Surviving 28 Rounds of Chemotherapy & Not Losing Hope – Living with Incurable Cancer
What can I tell you about Dai Henwood? There's the stuff that you may already know- he is funny, talented, successful and popular. Everyone loves Dai. Then there’s the stuff you may not know- he is one of the kindest people you could ever meet, generous, caring, resilient, strong, brave, intelligent, introspective, thoughtful.... He was diagnosed with incurable cancer in 2020. He went public with the news in 2022. And since then, he has somehow managed to coexist with this hideous disease and adjust to his new normal. This year alone, amongst other work commitments, while undergoing grueling treatment, he has written a book and made an incredible 3-part documentary about his cancer journey. We recorded this chat around the same time this documentary came out, so we do chat about that at length.

Two Raw Sisters - How Diet Helped Us Heal From Chronic Fatigue Syndrome & Severe Anxiety
Margo and Rosa Flannagan are Two Raw Sisters. These two South Island siblings have carved a niche for themselves as New Zealand’s go-to when it comes to plant-based meals. These girls are such fun company: they are driven and successful. And open books. So, I jumped at the chance to have them back on my podcast. On top of recently starting their own podcast and releasing an app, they have also put out their FIFTH recipe book- More Salad. This is an update into the lives of Rosa and Margo: Marriage, pregnancy, a move to Melbourne and even a peep show in Amsterdam. We also go back and explore the early years-why they hated each other as teens and how they healed severe health issues using food as medicine. The aesthetic of their books and brand are beautiful and perfect. But their lives, like all of us, are imperfect. This is part of the Two Raw Sisters story. Hosted on Acast.

Kiwis Rugby League Legend - Mark Graham’s INSANE Fights & Injuries from League’s Toughest Years
Mark Graham is the greatest NZ rugby league player of all time! The G.O.A.T acronym gets thrown round a lot these days but the man known as "Sharko" IS the real deal: He was named NZ rugby league player of the century. He’s the first Kiwi inducted into the NRL Hall of Fame. 18 tests for the Kiwis as captain and Warriors coach for 2 seasons. And he did all this playing in an era when rugby league was so brutal he broke almost every bone in his body. Now this humble Kiwi legend has a documentary all about his life and career made by his son, Luke. It’s called Sharko- look out for it. I’ve seen it twice and I love it. This podcast is a small part of the Mark Graham story. *** Thanks so much to my show sponsors, the Generate KiwiSaver scheme who have been supporting the show for over a year now. If you have a KiwiSaver and it is not with Generate you should consider switching over.

Sharesies Co-Founder (AND My Cousin!) - Sonya Williams DEBUNKS Stereotypes About Kiwis & Money
Sonya Williams is an absolute powerhouse businesswoman who has played a big part in how Kiwis invest- her and a group of friends started a company called Sharesies in 2016. Fast forward 7 years and... 700,000 Kiwis and Aussies now call themselves customers, including 40,000 children. Sharesies employs 230 people The company is valued at $500 million And Sonya and the Sharesies team are just getting started! This is a small part of the Sonya Williams story. We talk in depth about Sharesies: the past present and future. As well as lots of other stuff: The impact of her dad’s brain injury when she was 16. Why she wore her mum’s clothes to her first job interview Why she is fiercely defensive of her hometown, Levin. Why the first year of being a mum was so much more challenging that the first year of starting up a business. And so much more from a woman who has helped turn a simple idea into a groundbreaking business venture. This conversation was both easy and challenging- easy because we are family. But challenging because Sonya is so humble and unassuming- she has achieved so much, but definitely isn’t one to sing her own praises…or take compliments from podcasting cousins! Hosted on Acast.

NZ's #1 Controversial Broadcaster - Sean Plunket on Trans Issues, Death Threats & 'N*zi' Allegations
Sean Plunket is one of New Zealand’s best-known broadcasters. And, I would say, probably the most controversial and polarizing. Because of this, there is a lot to unpack with Sean. Sean has worked for just about every media company in NZ…Newstalk ZB, Mediaworks, TVNZ, TV3. He also hosted the prestigious Radio New Zealand show “Morning Report” for 13 years. And now he gets to call the shots by running his own online new media company, The Platform. In this episode we chat about his life on and off the air- the good the bad and the ugly…and there is plenty of each! Whether you love, hate or have no opinion formed about Sean, my hope is that by the time you get to the end of this podcast you will have a better understanding of who he is and his why. My goal with all these discussions is to try and get a better understanding of a person and their choices through non-judgmental long form conversation. Thanks for understanding and listening.

Nigel Latta on Shocking Cancer Diagnosis, Outliving 6-12 Months' Life Expectancy, Managing Adversity
Nigel Latta, New Zealand’s best-known psychologist, shared a video to Facebook on the evening of September 5, 2024, announcing he has been living with cancer. After sharing his shocking news, he received an outpouring of love and media articles because we all feel like we know Nigel Latta- even Lorde's mum left a comment giving Nigel credit for how she raised her kids. For the past 15 years, Nigel has been responsible for some wildly successful TV projects including the Beyond the Darkland’s series (which I loved) and the politically incorrect series with episodes devoted to parents, teenagers and grown-ups. He is also the author of seven best-selling books. I had never met Nigel before this podcast but, like a lot of Kiwis, I felt like I knew him. Nigel is everybody’s mate- a national treasure. This is small part of the Nigel Latta story with a focus on lessons he has learned since the cancer diagnosis and being forced to face his own mortality.

Cam Rodger, Managing Director of Entain in NZ - Answering Tough Questions about Betting in NZ
Cameron Rodger is the Managing Director of Entain New Zealand, that’s the company that runs the TAB and the brand new app “Betcha.” I invited Cam on for a podcast conversation because Betcha is jumping on board as a podcast sponsor. I thought it would be a good idea to put some questions to him about what Entain is doing to manage harmful gambling in New Zealand. And what sort of guard rails they have to keep the people who need help safe. I like having a small sports bet every now and then, but I am well aware that it does a lot of damage to some people so I was keen to get an understanding of the work they do. This isn’t a puff piece. But it isn’t a hit job either. Cam and Entain didn’t request the questions in advance. Nor did they ask for any content control. I found it informative, and I learned a lot and I hope you do too. This episode is not sponsored by Entain or anyone else.

Base Jumper & Author, Sequoia Schmidt - How Losing Father & Brother in Avalanche Inspired Her
Sequoia Schmidt. Wow- where do I begin? How can you possibly give just a one paragraph intro to someone who has had such a unique and full on 33 years of life. Let’s start with the cool stuff: After being born and raised in Napier, Sequoia set up her own publishing company in Texas at 16 and has written best-selling books. She also likes to do extreme stuff in her spare time, like base jumping, skydiving, mountain climbing, silence retreats. Then there’s the less glamourous stuff: A tumultuous childhood with family dynamics that can only be described as complicated which saw her end in foster care and ultimately moving to the US to the care of an incredible grandparent. Then losing her dad and brother to an avalanche on K2 in Pakistan in 2013 and going on a mission to find their remains. We discuss how these events reshaped her life and led her to explore her fears and resilience. And the lessons learned from her past (oh, and I forgot to mention a lifetime ban from the Warehouse in Hawkes Bay). There is a lot to unpack with the Sequoia Schmidt story, and there is no way we could do it justice in just one podcast…but we do unpack a lot. I loved this chat and I hope you do too.

Brodie Kane Speaks Out on “Toxicity” of NZ Media, Building an Independent Business, Abortion & More!
Brodie Kane was one of my first guests when I launched my podcast early in 2022. Since then, we have got even closer and have become running friends. So, this is her second appearance on the podcast- but this chat is very different to the first one because my very talented mate has now gone and written a book about her life experiences- the good the bad and the ugly. Oooh there is some ugly in there! The books awesome by the way- "Woman Uninterrupted" Brodie is an open book, she is forthright, opinionated and outspoken so nothing was off the table- we cover some crunchy topics here including the public backlash she experienced as a reporter on TV, her redundancy at the start of the pandemic and how she dusted herself off and bounced back, an abortion she had in her 20s and her decision to speak about it publicly. And lots of fun stuff, including her relationship with her parents and her time in the army before getting into media This chat is a celebration of resilience and self-acceptance from a woman I am lucky enough to call a good friend.

Marc Moore on Creating Stolen Girlfriends Club - Growing Up as Rock Star Marc Hunter’s Son
Marc Moore is the founder and creative director of the fashion brand Stolen Girlfriends Club. Marc launched Stolen almost 20 years ago and is still going strong, surviving the pandemic, the GFC and all the other challenges small businesses must face. Some of the stuff we cover includes how his brand was born almost 20 years ago and the steep highs as well as the very deep lows of growing a fashion business: How it became popular with some A list celebrities, including Miley Cyrus and The Weeknd, who wore one of their tops onstage for a performance with Taylor Swift. Also, we get into some deeply personal stuff, including his early years in Raglan being raised by a solo mum and his confusing relationship with his dad, the late Marc Hunter from the rock band Dragon. This stuff is hard to talk about so I cannot thank Marc enough for being so open to sharing such personal and vulnerable topics. Before doing this episode, I knew Marc in passing and I always thought he was a cool guy. Now I know for sure he is. I hope you guys love this episode as much as I did.

He Survived an Eruption on Mount Ruapehu - William Pike on Losing his Leg & Life as an Amputee
On September 25, 2007 William Pike was taking a mate up to the top of Mount Ruapehu. The two climbers made it to a little hut called the Dome Shelter then shortly after, in the cold and dark of night, the mountain erupted. As a torrent of rocks, water and mud streamed down and smashed into their shelter, William was crushed and trapped and left fighting for his life. When he woke up in hospital, his right leg had been amputated below the knee. The medical staff who worked on him called his survival a miracle. After multiple surgeries and a full-on rehabilitation, William learned to walk again with a prosthetic limb – and what he’s done with his life since is nothing short of inspirational. After escaping death, he has most definitely been making the most of life. This is part of the incredible William Pike story- an absolute masterclass in resilience. Hope you like it. Hosted on Acast.

Fighting Stage 4 Bowel Cancer - How Runner Jackie Robertson was Diagnosed with No Symptoms
The Jackie Robertson Podcast: Towards the end of 2023, just a couple of weeks after running a half marathon, the very fit and healthy Waikato mum went in for a routine blood test that changed her life. Jackie was diagnosed with stage four colorectal cancer that had also metastasized into her liver. For Jackie, who had zero symptoms, this news was extra tough because she is also the mother of a non-verbal son on the autism spectrum. This is Jackie Robertson's story.

Michaela Blyde on Winning Gold in Paris, Meeting her Idol, Overcoming Bullying & Body Image Issues
Michaela Blyde has just recently returned from the Olympics in Paris where she won her second gold medal, playing Rugby Sevens for the Black Ferns I think this will go down as one of my favorite episodes of all time- just because of her attitude, energy, enthusiasm and authenticity. And just because she’s bloody hilarious and fun to be around. We talk a lot about her recent Olympic experience, including being drug tested immediately after winning gold and going viral after meeting her sporting idol, the legendary Jamaican sprinter Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce (it's a great story- doesn’t get more Kiwi than this) We also talk about her upcoming wedding to another Gold medalist, her children’s book, body image, the challenges and rewards of elite training, goal setting, manifestation, journaling and so much more. Michaela is the real deal- a role model on and off the field. This episode is jam packed with cool lessons and stories.

Phoebe Harris - 22-Year-Old Kiwi Making a FORTUNE on OnlyFans
Phoebe Harris is a 22-year-old swimmer who joined the Only Fans platform in January 2022 and since then, she has done VERY well for herself. Before Only Fans she was on a WINZ benefit. Now, she earns more than the Prime Minister! So, what IS Only Fans? How much money does she make? How much of a cut do Only Fans take? What sort of backlash and stigma comes with being a success on that platform? What do her partner and parents think of it and much more! Everything you wanted to know about Only Fans but didn’t know who to ask. In this episode we get to learn a bit about Phoebe, who moved to New Zealand from England as a young girl and fell in love with swimming. And how that has led to an insanely financially rewarding career as an Only Fans creator. With her Only Fans income she has created a fitness app, become a landlord with three properties, bought her parents their dream caravan and a new car. She bought her own house at 20 with a $250,000 deposit, she got herself a brand-new Porsche for $340k! She doesn’t drive it all the time though - sometimes she drives her Nissan Navara Ute. And at the time of recording this she had just returned from a first-class trip to Europe. My goal with all these discussions is to try and get a better understanding of a person and their choices through non-judgmental long form conversation. Thanks for understanding and listening.

Sir Graham Henry Reflects on World Cup Wins & Losses, 54-Year Marriage, Depression & More!
Sir Graham Henry (aka “Ted”) is one of the greatest All Black coaches of all time. He left the role with a win record of 85% In 2011, with a little help from his friends, he coached the All Blacks to a Rugby World Cup win, breaking a 24-year drought. This was made even more remarkable on account of a thing called The Henry clause- a rule made by the NZ Rugby union in the late 1990s to make sure Graham would never get to coach the All Blacks after he went overseas to coach Wales. We talk about that clause and so much more- his early years and how he got together with his soulmate, Raewyn. His self-diagnosed depression which saw him quit coaching in the UK, his 103-test coaching career with the All Blacks and much more. Sir Graham Henry is a sharp operator, and this was a lot of fun. For me at least. Hope you guys love it. This episode is brought to you by Generate – award-winning KiwiSaver specialists.

My Most Chaotic Podcast Ever - Andrew Fagan, NZ Music Legend & Sailor-Adventurer Extraordinaire
Strap yourself in for a wild ride- my most chaotic podcast EVER! Andrew Fagan is a kiwi musician. In the 1980’s he was the singer of one of New Zealand’s most popular bands called The Mockers. Chances are, if you know any of their songs it’ll be Forever Tuesday Morning. But for a 12-year-old Dom Harvey. He knew every word of every song. Obsessed is a big word…but that was my relationship with this band called the Mockers. I was a psycho-fan…and I would be prepared fight anyone who dared to disagree they were the best band in the world. So, to sit down for a long conversation with one of my childhood heroes was something truly special. This is by far the most unique and bizarre podcast I’ve ever done- Andrew turned up with his own props including a flag, a stool, a bell, a water spray bottle, guitar and amp. We talk about his life in music, including those years in The Mockers- his recollections of the infamous 1984 Queen Street Riots and the deep impact of losing a bandmate to suicide. We also discuss in great length his love of solo voyages in the open ocean in small boats. Then we go deep with some musings on life, aging, mental health and future goals. Whether you're a long-time fan of The Mockers or new to wonderful world and mind of Andrew Fagan, this episode offers a glimpse into the life of a remarkable New Zealander (who I am lucky to call a mate).

This Emergency Department Doctor is Attempting to Run an Ultramarathon on Every Continent in 2024
Doctor Inia Raumati is an absolute savage- as well as being an emergency doctor in the intense Auckland Hospital, he also an inspirational adventurer who has taken part in ultra-marathon stage runs all over the world that last for a week. When we recorded this, he was halfway through an audacious goal to complete events on every continent of the world during 2024. We talk about these events in depth- the level of planning and preparation is, as you’d expect, next level. These runs are no joke…so don’t be fooled by the way he talks about them like they are no big deal! Then the professional stuff- his time as a medic in Iraq for the NZ army, his time as a volunteer for the Westpac rescue helicopter and life as an emergency doctor- including working in hospital during the pandemic, the amount of violence and anger the staff encounter every weekend and what it feels like when a patient you are working on dies and so much more. It was a fascinating insight into a world I knew nothing about from a guy who has seen it all! This chat was organized by Inia's fiancé Vicki who is my vet (well, my dogs vet). I thought it would be one for the running nerds, but it is much more than that. Inia is just a super inspiring and positive guy who is living his best life and wants to help others do the same. I loved our conversation and I hope you do too. This episode is brought to you by Generate – award-winning KiwiSaver specialists.

UK Comedian Ed Byrne on Kiwi Quirks, Awkward Robert Downey Jr Moment on Graham Norton & More!
Ed Byrne has been on the Graham Norton show numerous times, he’s been on the late-night talk shows in America, he’s been on the Celebrity Chase…twice. And now he’s on my podcast. Very exciting for me…not so exciting for Ed! At the time of recording this (August 2024) Ed is touring NZ with his show called “Tragedy plus time.” A heartbreakingly hilarious show that deals with the death of his younger brother Paul. Reviewers have been calling it the best work of Ed's 30-year career. We talk a lot about Paul, their relationship and processing grief with humor. See him at a venue near you: https://edbyrne.com/live-dates/ We discuss his very first tour of NZ way back in the late 1990s where he made nationwide news for trolling a barman- it’s a great story. Why New Zealand holds a special place in his heart and why Oamaru got a completely different Ed Byrne show to every other venue. His encounter with Robert Downey Junior when they shared the sofa on the Graham Norton show together and so much more. I loved spending this quality time with Ed Byrne, and I hope you do to.

Abbas Nazari - Escaping the Taliban, Life as a Refugee in Christchurch & The Tampa Affair
ABBAS NAZARI When the Taliban were at the height of their power in 2001, Abbas was 7 years old. By the time he arrived in New Zealand as a refugee almost a year later, he was 8. What happened in between is nothing short of incredible. The fact the Nazari family survived the journey was one thing. But they have done much better than that- they have thrived! Abbas shares his memories of escaping the Taliban as a little boy with little more than the clothes on his back, being adrift in the middle of the Indian ocean in an overcrowded rickety wooden boat that was most definitely not sea-worthy, in fact it was literally falling apart. Then getting rescued by a big shipping boat called the Tampa and becoming part of an international standoff before finding home in NZ as a refuge. Somehow, against all odds, Abbas who spoke no English when he touched down here went on to get a podium finish in a secondary schools spelling bee, played rugby (and even claims he taught Richie Mo’unga how to kick LOL). He also got a degree, was awarded a scholarship in Washington DC and now runs his own business. That’s not all! He’s also an in demand public speaker, and he has written a great book called “After The Tampa.” Which covers his life story in much greater detail than a long form podcast can do. If you love this chat and you’re keen for more, google that. **** This episode is bought to you by Generate – award-winning KiwiSaver specialists. Myself and pretty much everyone I know has the exact same KiwiSaver experience. We signed up through work into whatever fund was on offer and gave it little or no thought after that. That’s fine- it’s better than nothing! But taking the time to make sure you’re in the right fund, and ensuring you’re maximizing your account, could really improve your lifestyle in retirement.

Dame Lisa Carrington - Will the Paris 2024 Olympics Be Her Last? Managing Self Doubt & More!
Dame Lisa Carrington is the Greatest NZ Olympian of all time- 5 gold medals and 1 bronze medal over the past 3 Olympic Games. And maybe she will add to that at the Paris Olympic Games. This podcast is a re-release. It first came out at the start of 2023. I decided to rerelease it in time for the Paris Olympics because it was such a cool conversation. Also, the podcast has grown so much since it came out I thought there would be a lot of new listeners who are unaware Lisa has even been a guest. This is such a cool conversation. We see Lisa on TV, usually smiling on the podium with a gold medal around her neck followed by a 30-second sound bite on the news. But I have never heard Lisa be this candid before. Ever. This is a true look into the mind of a world-class athlete. You’ll get to know her strengths, weaknesses, flaws, fears, insecurities, and everything in between. There are so many cool lessons and insights in this conversation: The challenges female athletes face, such as maintaining balance between a demanding sports career and personal life ambitions. Lisa opens up about the rigorous discipline required in her everyday life to be so good for so long. We explore her early beginnings in Surf Life Saving, the crucial role played by her mentor Ian Ferguson, and the sacrifices required to train at an Olympic level from a young age. Her reflections on body image and the scrutiny of being visibly muscular. Then we chat about the Paris Olympics- will these Games be the last time we see Lisa Carrington compete at this level? This episode is packed with valuable lessons for anyone- whether you want some tips to make your own life better or just learn more about a Kiwi icon. . Hosted on Acast.

A Helmet Saved His Life - Sam Clarke was Shot in the Head During 2023 Auckland Shooting
SAM CLARKE On the morning of July 20th 2023, New Zealand was shocked by a shooting at Commercial Bay in Auckland’s CBD. A man on electronically monitored bail took a gun to the construction site where he was working. He killed two colleagues with a shotgun, wounded seven other people, including a police officer, and then killed himself. Sam Clarke, a husband and father, was shot that day. But he is not included in that list of victims. Sam was working his dream job as a member of the NZ police Armed Offenders Squad when he was hit in the helmet by a bullet from the gunman. It was a job he loved, but a job he had to turn his back on because it nearly cost him his life. This is part of his story. In vivid detail he talks about the morning of July 20 and how it played out from the perspective of an on-duty cop. Dealing with a concussion and struggling to reassure his loved ones, he was ok in the immediate aftermath. The comprehensive support provided by the police force, including psychological and medical help. The emotional and physical toll the incident took on him. And the transformative power of therapy and vulnerability. Some of Sam's personal experiences about overcoming anxiety, dealing with flashbacks and much more. It’s the first time Sam has done anything like this, and I can’t thank him enough for his courage in being so open and vulnerable with sharing his experience. Follow Sam's new business, Response Rise: He is using the skills he learned in the Police to teach others what to do in armed offender incidents, confrontational situations, retail crime and more. https://www.responserise.com/ IG: response_rise Hosted on Acast.

Eugene Bareman on Relationship with Israel Adesanya, Fighter Pay in UFC & Meeting Mark Zuckerberg
Eugene Bareman. If you google his business “City Kickboxing” the first question that pops up is “Why is city kickboxing so good.” Eugene and his gym have produced so many UFC stars- most notably Israel Adesanya, Dan Hooker and Kaikara France. He has even been recognized as the best MMA coach in the world in 2022. We talk about his early years and his incredible drive and discipline. What his goals were when he opened his gym. His interactions with Dana White and his thoughts on the UFC and whether the fighters are paid fairly. The weight of responsibility he feels as a coach of athletes in a sport that can literally be a matter of life and death. Hilarious story about an interaction with Mark Zuckerberg and who would win an MMA fight between Zuck and Elon Musk. And so much more.

Jay-Jay Feeney - RE-RELEASE of my most downloaded episode so far
This conversation with Jay-Jay Feeney, NZ broadcasting royalty, came out one year ago, back when this was still a podcast for runners. A lot of you may have heard it at the time, but there are a lot of brand new listeners to the podcast who may be hearing this for the first time. This was a strange episode...just because of the intensely personal nature of it. ICYMI: Jay-Jay and I got married in 2004. We separated about 6 years ago but remain very close. Because of this relationship, we know everything about one another and had the ability to touch upon some very serious stuff. Because of that a trigger warning is needed- this podcast episode discusses family violence and sexual abuse, infertility and IVF, depression, and suicide. If you listen to this and need some professional help in New Zealand, you can call or text 1737 free of charge to talk to a trained counsellor. **** Thanks to Skin Institute for sponsoring this episode. It’s estimated that about 20% of all adults will get varicose veins at some point in their lives. As well as age, other risk factors include family history of veins disease, being overweight, standing jobs, and pregnancy. If left untreated, they can lead to serious health issues.

Rosie Overcomer, Former Gloriavale Member: “They Tried to Run My Husband Over”
Rosie Overcomer was born and raised in Gloriavale. She left 11 years ago at the age of 26 with her husband Elijah and their 3 young children. Since then, they have had three more children and life looks very different to how it did a decade ago- we talk about these adjustments to life outside. Including getting her first haircut, celebrating a birthday for the first time at 28, and the liberating moment she wore jeans for the first time. I found Rosie's story compelling, and I hope you guys do as well (quick apology for the sound issues towards the end- there were some tradies outside with a water blaster LOL). **** These conversations would not be possible without the backing of the legends at Generate and Radix.

Dying an Assisted Death - Tracy Hickman on Deciding to Die, Cancer Journey & Message for Others
Warning! This episode of The Dom Harvey Podcast may be upsetting to some listeners or viewers, it centers around terminal illness and assisted dying. Please listen with caution. This is the Tracy Hickman story. In March 2019 Tracy, an ultra-marathon runner and accountant, went for a routine mammogram and was hit the devastating news she had an aggressive type of breast cancer. Tracy and I met at the Boston marathon in 2023 where she was running despite battling cancer. You would not know she was sick unless she told you. Nor would you ever see her without a smile- relentlessly positive would be a perfect way to describe her. Tracy asked me if we could do this podcast and it was a privilege. Tracy's story is not just about her battles with cancer or the marathons she's run across all seven continents: It's a larger story of relationships, love, and legacy. And also, an opportunity to shine a light on assisted dying—a subject she believes deserves more coverage and open conversation. I’d like to think this episode is a celebration of Tracy Hickman's undeniable fabulousness. Her wit, warmth, and willingness to discuss topics often shroud in silence. At the very least, I hope this makes all of us appreciate what we have and to make the most of today. Because you never know what tomorrow may bring. Dom Hosted on Acast.

Tim Ross Reflects on Merrick & Rosso, Triple J, Teaching Kathy Griffin Aussie Slang & More
TIM ROSS (AKA Rosso): A lot of New Zealanders won’t know who Rosso is and that’s exciting- because it means you about to get to know a cool person. In the early 2000s when Rosso and I became mates, he was part of Australia’s number 1 radio show, “The Merrick and Rosso show.” In 2009, Rosso quit radio and since then has successfully combined his passion for comedy and architecture by doing hundreds of standup comedy shows at some of the most architecturally acclaimed houses around the world. Also he’s made a bunch of documentaries, wrote a ton of books, got married, had a family, quit booze and lost his mum- we unpack a lot of the Tim Ross journey here. Including how he met and teamed up with his comedy partner, Merrick Watts. Their groundbreaking stand-up act and how that became one of the most innovative and successful radio shows of all time. We discuss some of his best A list celebrity encounters including Sylvester Stallone, Will Ferrell and David Bowie. MC-ing Sam Neills star studded 60th birthday party, impersonating Russell Crowe as an ongoing TV sketch and lots more. Then the important stuff- losing his mum, his reflections on that time, and somehow finding beauty in the grief. And his thoughts on getting older. This is Rosso as you’ve probably never heard him before. This episode has been bought to you thanks to Skin Institute. It’s estimated that about 20% of all adults will get varicose veins at some point in their lives. Although they’re more common in older people, young people sometimes have them, too.

From Alcoholic to Running Ultra Marathons in The Sahara & The Arctic - Freddie Bennett
FREDDIE BENNETT: Freddie, an Englishman who now calls New Zealand home, shares his remarkable pivot from life in one fast lane to life in another fast lane. In his old life he was chasing cheap dopamine with copious amounts of alcohol and cocaine. Now he’s leaning into the search for a quality dopamine hit by pushing his body to the limit physically and doing epic s**t. And in the process, becoming a better person and making himself and his family and friends proud which is cool. At the time of recording this, Freddie was preparing to leave NZ to take part in a 5-day 250km running event in the Artic. This involves carrying all the food and equipment he needs to survive, temperatures of -50 and running over frozen lakes and mountains. Very different to the cocaine blizzards Freddie used to experience in his past life in the UK. We talk about the moment in New York where a drug dealer held a gun to Freddie's head, the sudden death of his dad and this impact that had on him, his decision to move to NZ with his family and much more. I hope this episode and Freddie's transformation inspires you to get a little more out of your own life. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Meet the Kiwi who ran 8000km across Canada for Cancer Research- Jon Nabbs Incredible Journey
JON NABBS I caught up with Jon the day after he landed back in New Zealand after completing an absurd personal running challenge in Canada. Dressed in a superman suit and pushing a stroller containing all his supplies- tent, sleeping bag, food, electronics, everything- he spent 305 days running from one side of Canada to the other- 7351km- solo and unsupported. In the process he raised over $100,000 for child cancer research. His why could not be any more significant either- during the pandemic he lost both his parents to different cancers within a year of each other. I was inspired and I hope you will be too. Jon Nabbs is just a normal guy who has gone through some really unfair stuff, so decided to process his trauma by doing something really cool. Or crazy. Probably both.

My Session with Stylebender's Therapist - Discussing Trauma & Mental Health with Janet Redmond
Janet Redmond calls herself a possibility manager. That title is basically her reworking of the word therapist. She was previously a trauma specialist, training psychotherapists and counsellors. I reached out to Janet immediately after watching the Israel Adesanya documentary movie, “Stylebender.” I thought this grandmother from Nelson in the campervan the surprise star of the film. This is a podcast of two halves. We chat about her relationship with Izzy and a little bit about who she is and what she does to help people. Then, she gets to work on me. Janet is an incredible human with an amazing gift. But I’ve been scared about sharing it. I guess because I still feel embarrassed when I cry or show some vulnerability. I know that allowing yourself to be vulnerable is a strength and not a weakness. And it’s something I encourage from my guests. But it is still something I am struggling with myself.

Olivia McTaggart - Pole Vaulter Opens Up About Body Image, Online Objectification & Tall Poppy Syndrome
Olivia McTaggart is 24 years old and is one of the greatest pole-vaulters NZ has ever produced. Her highest jump, so far, is 4 meters 71cm (for comparison, the height of a double decker bus is 4 meters 40 centimeters). At 18 she fulfilled her childhood dream of going to the Commonwealth Games and finished in the top 10. Then at her 2nd Commonwealth Games she finished 4th. This year, she is hoping to raise the bar- excuse the pun- and go to the Olympics in Paris. If, like me, you know nothing about pole vaulting you are in for an education as we break down one of the most technical and complex and fascinating sports around. But this is so much more than a sports chat. Liv and I discuss so much cool stuff that I know we can all get some value from: Building confidence through hard work. Her 3 P’s: Passion, Persistence and Pride. Body image and so much more. Her pre-pole-vault mantra is “Calm and dangerous” and those 2 words definitely describe Liv. Thanks to the legends who have made this conversation possible- Radix and Generate. According to a study from Massey university, you’ll need around $600,000 saved up for an awesome retirement lifestyle. The best time to start planning this was yesterday. The second-best time is RIGHT NOW! Generate is an award-winning KiwiSaver provider, with a track record of chart-topping long-term performance.

Steve Williams on Tiger Woods' Crazy Life, How He Got Fired, Did He Ruin His Legacy?
Steve Williams- the worlds greatest golf caddy of all time! This was such an honor. Steve is by design a pretty reclusive guy. This is the first long form podcast about his life that he has ever done so it’s a true honor he agreed to do it. As you would expect, there is a lot of Tiger Wood chat ahead- they were, after all, best friends and had an incredible working relationship for 12 very successful years. Tiger has won a total of 15 majors…and Steve was his caddy for 13 of them. We talk about Tigers mindset, the dynamics of their relationship, how Steve coped with the backlash from Tigers well publicized indiscretions, the perks, and bonuses from being the caddy of the world’s best golfer and so much more. But this is not Tigers story- this is the Steve Williams story and I’m so excited to give you a peak into the mind of this reluctant hero who for a period in the early 2000s was New Zealand’s highest paid sportsperson….and then gave a lot of it away to Starship hospital.

She has won the Coast to Coast four times, after moving to NZ from Germany at 20 unable to speak any English. She was also teammates in a Godzone event with Richie McCaw and was a contestant on the reality TV show “Tracked.” But what makes Simone's story is the adversity. Before she came here and experienced the highest or highs, she had to endure very low lows growing up, events which culminated in Simone spending a full year in rehab for an eating disorder and self-harm. Because of all the themes we discuss, I’ve included a list of resources and numbers available to call in NZ if you feel the need to talk to a professional (You’ll find these at the bottom of this page).

Gilda Kirkpatrick on Real Housewives of Auckland, Gold Digger Reputation & Politics
GILDA KIRKPATRICK: If you watch reality TV, you may THINK you know Gilda from Real Housewives of Auckland or her very short run on Dancing with the stars. Or maybe you know of her from the gossip pages which generally label her a socialite or a gold digger. But there is so much more to Gilda Kirkpatrick than any of that. And THIS is a part of her story. Gilda as you have never heard her before. We talk about growing up in war torn Iran before moving to New Zealand as a teenager. And how these early years and the unimaginable things she saw and experienced shaped her into the person she is today. We discuss her stance as a Covid anti-vaxer, how her relationship developed with a man 40 years older than her and her thoughts on being labelled a gold digger. Then we discuss her appearances on reality TV, her thoughts on cosmetic surgery, what life looks like in one of Auckland’s most recognizable mansions and much much more. Gilda is a breath of fresh air with a great perspective and outlook on life and I really hope you guys enjoy this episode. Thanks so much to Radix Nutrition for sponsoring this episode. Get amongst their incredible protein powder and smoothie recovery powders. I am obsessed with their banana flavored protein.

And you only have to listen to an episode of their interview podcast to see why- they do a damn good job. This is a bit of an insight into the guys behind the podcast Steve and Seamus. Quick technical issue to flag- this was my first ever podcast with two guests. I’m reluctant to call it a threesome. But because of this I was in a different studio with a different microphone set up so at times, the sound distorts a little. My apologies. But I hope you will push through because this was a really good chat. Thanks to the legends at Radix Nutrition for sponsoring this episode.

Matt Watson on Ending the ITM Fishing Show, David Letterman Appearance, Tall Poppy
Matt Watson is the first name most of us think of when it comes to Fishing in New Zealand. His iconic TV show ITM fishing is about to finish up after 20 years on our screens. This conversation is, I hope, Matt Watson as you’ve never seen or heard him before. We discuss the struggles in the early days of getting his idea on TV, Matt gets emotional when he recalls meeting his wife Kaylene and later delivering their son in a car. We reflect at length on his US TV appearance on Late night with David Letterman- you don’t want to miss that one. And much much more. There is limited fishing chat in this conversation- but I’d like to think it’s a good conversation and a profile of an awesome New Zealander who has achieved so much through his own grit, persistence and dogged determination. Lessons in this about not giving in that we can all apply! Matts career would not have been possible without the help of ITM. And I have just as much gratitude for my sponsors- Radix Nutrition and Generate KiwiSaver- a couple of epic Kiwi owned and operated companies doing great things in their respective fields. https://radixnutrition.co.nz/ https://www.generatewealth.co.nz/ EPISODE CHAPTERS: 3.00 The end of an era- ITM fishing 9.40 Fist fight at family Xmas when he was 17. 17.30 Matt the kiwi battler 23.50 The life-changing roofing-testicle injury 31.00 His OE: Ending in a German hospital and meeting the Pope. 37.00 How he met his wife, Kaylene. 39.30 Matt gets emotional. 40.45 Winning a contest on Sports café. 46.00 Making the first pilot episode of The Fishing Show. 51.00 Mortgaging the house to make the first TV series. 1.01 Pitching the show to TV networks. 1.12.30 How ITM came to sponsor the show. 1.22 Going to the US to appear on David Letterman’s show. 1.48 “Man Vs Fish” show on Discovery/Animal Planet. 1.54 Delivering his son in a car late at night. 2.05 Matt’s mental health and how he stays well. 2.13 Reflecting on a young Matt Watson Hosted on Acast.

BONUS MINI EPISODE: Dom Vs The Mad Butcher - The Argument
This is a very short bonus episode that I thought I'd share with you guys. Recently the podcast went through a rebrand from "Runners Only! With Dom Harvey" to "The Dom Harvey Podcast." Part of this rebrand included a short video that blew up on social media of The Mad Butcher and myself having a heated argument about the theme of the podcast, which ALOT of people thought was very real. This snippet is that argument in its entirely and what was said immediately afterwards. There was no script, no guideline's, and very little pre discussion. The Mad Butcher sat down and I asked him if we could have a fake argument about the name of the podcast and then we both just went for it. This episode is bought to you by the legends at the Generate Kiwisaver scheme who have been big supporters of the podcast so I’m ecstatic to have them on board as a partner.

The Mad Butcher - Racism Controversy, Near Death Experience, Warriors & Kiwis Legacy
Sir Peter Leitch is better known as "The Mad Butcher" He is a man most New Zealanders recognize from his voice. He is New Zealand’s most high-profile butcher, a very successful businessman, a diehard supporter of the Warriors and Rugby league. And, he would argue this point, but I think he is a man that probably doesn’t get the recognition he deserves for his charitable acts. It’s hard to think of someone who have been more generous with their time and money than the Mad Butcher. I have always liked the Mad Butcher. But I like him even more after this and I hope you guys enjoy it too. This episode is bought to you by Generate Kiwisaver.

Suzie Bates - Cricket & Basketball Career, Partying with Kobe, Coaching Melie Kerr, and more!
Suzie Bates is the GOAT of New Zealand women’s cricket. And just an awesome all-round human. She first made the New Zealand team in 2006 when she was 19. Now she is 36 and still playing like the absolute boss that she is She’s also a bloody talented basketballer and went to the Olympics in 2008 playing for the NZ side- we talk about that experience including how she ended up partying with the USA “Redeem team” including LeBron and Kobe. We chat about her alter-ego "Betsy" who comes out after a couple of chardonnays, what Mick Jagger WASN’T wearing when she met him in his dressing room and much much more. I was left with the impression that she has such a growth mindset that she doesn’t take a lot of time to pause and reflect on all the cool stuff she has achieved and experienced in her life. And there is so so much to reflect on! Thanks to the legends at Radix Nutrition for getting behind this episode. Mike and the team at Radix have been key players in helping this little podcast grow from nothing into something I’m really proud of.

Sir John Kirwan: NZ's Mental Health Pioneer, Managing Depression, and more! (Re-Release)
This podcast with Sir John Kirwan was first released in September 2022. I am re-sharing it now to coincide with Mental Health Awareness Week 2023 in New Zealand. If you are an early listener to the podcast who has already heard this one, just skip it. But if you have just recently discovered the podcast, you may really enjoy this one- I still get messages every other week from people telling me they listened and got a lot of valuable tips from Sir John. Either way, thanks for checking the podcast out. I genuinely appreciate you being here to read this. Sir John Kirwan is an All Black legend. But its what he has done since retiring from sport that has made him an all-round legend. 15 years ago JK reluctantly spoke publicly about his depression and mental health struggles (we discuss his reluctance in this chat- I won't tell you who pushed him into doing it!) Mental health has never had more chat that what it currently gets. This guy was the trailblazer. NOBODY really talked about this stuff publicly before Sir John. There are so many tips, tricks and tools from JK in this conversation that we can all use to improve our mental health. We also reminisce a little bit about his time as a butcher, an All Black and a DB Bitter Warrior. If this episode triggers anything, PLEASE chat to someone you trust. Or text 1737 anytime (NZ). You’ll get to chat to a trained counsellor. Dom Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Dr. Ben O'Keefe - Abuse from Rugby Fans, 2023 Rugby World Cup, Was Richie McCaw A Cheat?
Dr. Ben O'Keefe is one of the world’s Best rugby referees. He is also a doctor who specializes in Ophthalmology (fancy word for eye stuff). He made headlines for the death threats and social media backlash he experienced after he reffed the super rugby final this year between the Crusaders and the Chiefs. At the time of releasing this episode he is busy representing New Zealand as an official referee at the RWC in France. His games include France Vs Uraguay, Japan Vs Argentina and South Africa Vs Ireland. In this conversation we explore Ben’s journey from general medicine to ophthalmology, his passion for rugby, and how he balances both these intense careers. I invited Ben on after he blew up on Instagram by sharing some of the gross comments he got after the super rugby final. Also, he is just an inspiring New Zealander who is kicking serious life goals and probably doesn’t get the recognition he deserves. Thanks to Radix Nutrition for sponsoring this episode.

John Hart, Former All Black Coach - Mental Health Struggles, Remembering Jonah Lomu, and more!
This is the very first podcast that former All Black coach John Hart has ever agreed to do (thanks to our mutual mate Kerre Woodham for convincing him to do it).. John was the coach of the legendary Auckland NPC side who won titles in 82, 84 and 85. That 1985 side also won the Ranfurly shield and kept it for 61 games which remains a record in shield history. We talk at length about the disgraceful fallout after the 1999 RWC semifinal loss against France, where he was spat on at a horse race in Christchurch, something which spiraled John into a deep and long-lasting depression. John is a man who has devoted a lot of his life to NZ sport- in rugby he coached 142 games for a total of three teams and retired from the sport with a win record of 84.5% He keeps his head down these days by choice so I can’t thank him enough for coming over to chat- especially about some of the less sexy stuff. I really enjoyed spending time with John and I hope you do too. Thanks very much to Radix Nutrition for sponsoring this episode. Without there support, it would not be possible to keep bringing you these conversations- it’s a fair amount of work each week and their investment is crucial. I only tell you this so that you may be compelled to check out what they are all about and, if you like what you see, maybe become a customer.

Chances are you don’t know who Penny Taylor is. But hers is a story worth listening to. She’s an inspiration. And offers a reminder that bad things happen to good people and whatever it is you are going through; you CAN get through it. In November 2009, Penny Taylor, a single mum of 2 from Palmerston North contracted meningitis and was given 30 minutes to live. She not only survived. She thrived. Despite being told by doctors that she would never walk again, she has 2 prosthetic legs and is fitter and more active than most of us. You can follow her on inspirational Instagram account: https://www.instagram.com/fitness.amputeenz/ Penny doesn’t do a lot of this stuff, so I appreciate her sharing her story and going back to some pretty bleak times and I hope you guys like it too. Thanks to Radix Nutrition for sponsoring this episode. I start every day with a protein shake made with protein powder from Radix. But they do so much more than just protein powder.

Cameron Jones OPENS UP About Shortland Street, Life in Hollywood, Mental Health Issues
Cameron Jones is a New Zealand actor. If you’re an old fan of Shortland Street, you may remember him from that. He cut his teeth as Dallas Jones the ambulance driver in Shorties ten years ago. He was also in the Hobbit movies, a Christmas movie with Dolly Parton and has a brand new movie called Home Kills which has been showing as part of the NZFF. I didn’t know much about Cam prior to this conversation. But I learned so much- what his dad thought about his career choice as an actor and the final conversation they had before his dad passed away, the stress of trying to break into the LA acting scene, the bizarre thing he got offered thousands of dollars to do, his struggles with his mental wellbeing and much more. A mutual friend of ours suggested I get Cam on as a guest and he didn’t disappoint. I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know more about him and I hope you do too. Thanks to Radix Nutrition for sponsoring this episode. I start every day with a protein shake made with protein powder from Radix. They honestly do the best flavors made with the best ingredients. They have just introduced 2 new flavors to their range – mango and blueberry. Like all their other flavors, these 2 don’t disappoint.

Sam Harvey Reflects on Tying WORLD RECORD for Non-Stop Running, Tall Poppy Syndrome, and MORE!
In June 2023 Sam Harvey from Christchurch came painfully close to breaking the world record for ultra distance running, after running pretty much non-stop for more than four days. Sam ran for 101 hours and covered 677km at an event in Queensland. His heart and mind are so unbreakable that he was FORCED by organizers to pull out of the race after he fell over and collapsed on the course. Sam is a fascinating guy with an unbreakable mindset so this episode is so much more than a podcast about running. For most listeners, as well as getting to know a bit more about this average ordinary guy who is on a mission to redefine what the human mind and body is capable of, most of us will get to learn a bit more about the fringe running events known as backyard ultras.

Arch Jelley pt. 2 - 100-Year-Old Reflects on Career, Technology, Life After Death, and more!
Arch Jelley is one of New Zealand’s greatest running coaches. He coached the great John Walker through his entire career and all the highlights that entailed including an Olympic gold medal in 1976 and 3 Commonwealth Games medals, over 100 sub 4 minute miles and the first man to run a mile in under 3.50. But this podcast has very little to do with running. I met Arch last year when he was 99 when we recorded a podcast and we have remained in touch since then. On the week of this podcast being released, Arch turns 101. So, I invited him back for a podcast where I would put YOUR questions to him. Arch is still in tremendous health, physically and mentally, so this was a real treat- it’s not often you get to pick the brains of someone who has seen and done so much and is still around and able to share that wisdom. I really enjoy spending time with Arch and I hope you guys do too. He really is a national treasure. Thanks to Radix Nutrition for sponsoring this episode. I start every day with a protein shake made with protein powder from Radix. They do the best flavors made with the best ingredients.

Ryan Hall on Running Fastest EVER Marathon & Half-Marathon in USA History [Bonus Episode]
Fun fact: Ryan Hall and I raced each other in 2011 at the Boston marathon (only, he had no idea we were racing). I finished in 5528th place with a time of 3 hours 20 minutes. Ryan finished in 4th place with a time of just under 2 hours and 5 minutes, around 2 minutes per kilometer quicker than me! That day he set a record that still stands now as the fastest marathon ever run by an American. On this episode, we trace the highs and lows of his illustrious running career, from that epic run in Boston to the disappointment of having to pull out of the Olympic marathon in London and the career ending injuries he endured. Ryan gives us a peak behind the curtain on the massive physical and mental effort that goes into preparing for these huge races- both for himself as a runner, and now in his role as coach to his wife, Sarah Hall, who is a total badass. We talk so much more than running though: Ryan's now a tank as a result of years of weightlifting so we chat about that transformation. He was 63 kilos when he stopped running…now he kind of looks like Dwayne Johnson. We also chat about Ryan and his wife Sarah's decision to adopt 4 sisters from an orphanage in Ethiopia and the challenges of raising a family who know very little English language or American culture. Ryan's story is about resilience, perseverance, and the courage to let go, pivot, and embrace new paths. Ryan has such a good attitude. He might be the most laid back and chilled serious athlete you could ever meet. I loved our time together in Boston and I hope you do too. Thanks to Radix for sponsoring this episode.

Maia Wilson Opens Up About Silver Ferns Career, Body Image Issues, and more!
Maia Wilson first made the silver ferns in 2016 when she was still 19 and has been there shooting goals, and lots of them ever since. But she is so much more than an awesome netballer- sports wise, she made the NZ women's basketball team when she was just 16. In this conversation we chat about a whole range of stuff like body image, self-worth, and the societal pressures faced by professional athletes. Also coping with the death of her nana and dad in quick succession. Then getting through the lockdown while helping nurse her mum through a diagnosis of lung cancer. Maia has dealt with a tonne of adversity which has helped make her the fierce bullet-proof resilient waihine that she is today. She is a real breath of fresh air and so much fun to talk to- as well as being talented, fiercely competitive and driven…she is also bloody hilarious!

Hannah Wilkinson talks FIFA Women's World Cup, Sexuality, Football career, and more!
Hannah Wilkinson or “Wilky” as she is known by her team mates is one of the star players of the New Zealand Footballs Ferns, a team she has played in since she was a teenager. 13 years ago. She has played over 100 games, been to three Olympics, played in 3 (soon to be 4) FIFA Women’s World Cup tournaments and that’s just the tip of her football iceberg. I would like to think this episode is a good glimpse into the mind of one of New Zealand’s greatest footballers of all time.

Mils Muliaina Reflects on All Blacks Career, Wrongful Arrest, Life After Rugby, and more!
Mils Muliaina would dispute this, but he is one of the Greatest All Blacks of all time. He was only the second All Black to play 100 tests (less than a month after Richie became the first). He was part of the team that won the 2011 Rugby world cup against France in that nail biting final. He was also part of the team that lost the world cup 4 years earlier after being beaten by France. But Mils is so much more than a former All Black and accordingly, rugby only makes up a small part of this epic 90-minute conversation. I can’t thank Mils enough for being so willing to open up about his life, especially the messy stuff. He is by his own choice a reasonably private person these days, so this was a rare glimpse into mind of Mils. Thanks very much to the sponsors of this episode.

James Constantine - Sydney’s Quest for a World Marathon Major (Bonus Episode)
*BONUS EPISODE: VERY MUCH ONE FOR THE RUNNING NERDS* James Constantine is a keen runner (he’s bloody quick, too) and he is also part of the huge team putting on this year’s Sydney marathon, presented by Asics, on Sunday September 17. It is a very special event this year- it is a “candidate race” in hunt to join New York, London, Berlin, Boston, Tokyo and Chicago as a World Marathon Major. To earn major status, they have a checklist of 104 requirements, one of the key requirements being the number of runners participating. Already they have over 10,000 people signed up which will make it officially the biggest marathon event ever held in Australasia. In this conversation with James, we talk about the process of Sydney trying to join the ranks of the world’s most prestigious marathons. I’m signed up and I cannot wait- I’d love to see you there too! They have an “early bird” entry available until the end of July ($165) And Air New Zealand have some decent priced flights that weekend ($600 return) https://sydneymarathon.com/marathon/ https://www.airnewzealand.co.nz/ Follow James on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/that.guy.who.runs/ Hosted on Acast.

Marcus Daniell - Winning an Olympic Bronze Medal, Founding a Charity, Mental Health, and more!
Marcus Daniell is New Zealand's fifth greatest tennis player of all time (According to a random website I found with a google search). Questionable website rankings aside he is a phenomenal tennis player, especially in doubles. He won a bronze medal at the Tokyo Olympics. And has beaten Novak Djokovic! He is so much more than a good tennis player though. Off the court, he is the founder of an epic charity called HIA (High Impact Athletes) which we discuss in this podcast. He also shares his remarkable journey in the world of tennis, philanthropy, and mental resilience. Thanks very much to the sponsors of this episode.

Shorty Clark - Defying Aging and Becoming a World Champion Triathlete at 71
Shorty Clark from New Plymouth is officially the worlds best triathlete in the 70-74 category. He became a world champion in Abu Dhabi late in 2022 at the age of 71. 9 months later, in this podcast, he still gets emotional talking about that moment. It’s a sport he only took up in his late 40s and back then he couldn’t even swim so its been a long journey- a 26 year apprenticeship he jokes. I thought Shorty's story would be a good one to share for a few reasons. The main one being what YOU and I can get out of it. It’s a good boot up the arse and reminder that with hard work, persistence, and some good old fashioned self discipline, even things that might seem impossible can become possible.

Duncan is one of New Zealand's most recognizable broadcasters. He spent 17 years in parliament as TV3s political reporter as well as hosting the AM show for several years and a bunch of other TV and radio shows. He is now doing a daily podcast called “Editor in chief.” In this conversation we talk about his journey of overcoming life's obstacles, from the sudden end of his time at Today FM to navigating a divorce, the pandemic and even a wrongful arrest- something he has never talked about publicly before. Duncan also shares with me his insights on family, happiness, and resilience as he shares some of the lessons he's learned along the way.

Mea Motu (World champion boxer and domestic abuse survivor)
Mea's life today as a mum of 5 in her early 30s looks very different to how it did just a few years ago. Through her 20s she was stuck in marriage as a victim of relentless and brutal domestic abuse with unimaginable violence and cruelty. Mea bravely opens up about her past and how she managed to survive and rebuild her life. By sharing her story, she hopes to empower others to find their own strength and use their voice to make a difference. I absolutely adore Mea and I know you guys will too. I think we can all get something from Mea’s journey from rock bottom to the top of the world. If she can get through this, still smiling and laughing. We can all get through whatever adversity life throws your way. This episode needs to come with a strong warning and I would urge anyone who feels triggered by this discussion to reach out and ask for help. In the words of Mea herself: “Speak and do not be ashamed.” https://www.instagram.com/mea_meamotu/ Thanks to Skin Institute for sponsoring this episode.

Dean Barker (Yachting legend and bowel cancer survivor)
DEAN BARKER: Dean Barker is a name that is synonymous with yachting in NZ. Especially the Americas cup. When you think of that event his name is up there with Coutts and Butterworth back in the day and now Burling and Tuke. Unfortunately, he is probably remembered most for being the Team NZ skipper when we were on the receiving end of one of the greatest comebacks in sporting history- remember that? San Francisco 2013. Team NZ was up 8-1 then we ended up losing to Jimmy Spitalls Oracle boat by 9 races to 8. We reflect on that period in great detail in this conversation. We also chat at length about Deans battle with bowel cancer recently. Bowel cancer is the most commonly reported cancer in New Zealand…and probably one of the least talked about cancers. As a country we have 3000 cases and 1200 deaths each year. https://bowelcancernz.org.nz/ Dean has always struck me as being like an old school kiwi guy- stoic, strong, silent and intensely private. So I really appreciate him coming on the podcast and being so open about some really personal and painful stuff. Thanks to Radix Nutrition for sponsoring this episode. Even before they jumped on board as a sponsor, I was a fan of their products. Now their protein powder is part of my daily plan. Every morning without fail.

Sarah Gearhart (American author)
Sarah Gearhart is a New York based sportswriter and now author. You name the organization; she has probably written for it! USA Today, New York Times, Wall Street Journal, ESPN, Runner's World, Vice Sports… In April 2023 she published her first book: “We Share the Sun: The Incredible Journey of Kenya's Legendary Running Coach Patrick Sang and the Fastest Runners on Earth.” https://www.booktopia.com.au/we-share-the-sun-sarah-gearhart/book/9781639363551.html I met Sarah in Boston during the 2023 marathon weekend, and we sat down for this podcast conversation about her experience writing this book including how she convinced the notoriously private Patrick Sang to take part in it, the many many months she spent in Kenya and her observations and experiences with the greatest marathon runner of all time, Eliud Kipchoge. And his coach, Patrick Sang. I’m a sucker for a running book. I’ve read just about every single one imaginable. This is my new favorite. (Disclosure: I am a Kipchoge fan boy. But this is so much more than a book about running or the guy behind the guy). Whether or not you buy or read the book. I do hope you enjoy the conversation with Sarah.

Jay-Jay Feeney (NZ Queen of music radio)
Jay-Jay Feeney is the undisputed queen of music radio in New Zealand. She started the radio station The Edge and grew it into the massive brand that it remains to this day. She currently hosts one of New Zealand’s most listened to afternoon shows on the station, More FM. She is the author of two books and has won too many NZ radio awards to count!. This is a strange episode...jeust because of the intensely personal nature of it. I can’t imagine I will ever record a podcast that is as raw, emotive, and vulnerable as this one is. The reason being- the personal relationship. JJ and I got married in 2004. We separated about 5 years ago but remain very, very close. Because of this relationship, we know everything about one another and had the ability to touch upon some very serious stuff. Because of that a trigger warning is needed- this podcast episode discusses family violence and sexual abuse, infertility and IVF, depression, and suicide. If you listen to this and need some professional help in New Zealand, you can call or text 1737 free of charge to talk to a trained counsellor. This podcast also includes a lot of light moments too as we zoom in on some of JJs many career highlights. Thanks to Radix Nutrition for sponsoring this episode: . https://radixnutrition.co.nz/ Adding to their popular Protein range, they have just launched a new range of breakfasts which are incredible: strawberry banana, coconut, vanilla, mixed berry, Apple and cinnamon and chocolate. These are super simple and super healthy. They are filling. And did I mention they taste amazing?

Kelsey Waghorn (Whakaari White Island eruption survivor)
Kelsey Waghorn was a Whakaari White Island tour guide in December 2019 when it erupted. This is a powerful and raw conversation with Kelsey. And it is a tough listen in parts, made slightly easier thanks to Kelsey's ability to find the humor and light in the darkest situations. We talk about Kelsey and her life before, during and after the eruption, the resilience and courage it takes to navigate life after such a harrowing experience. Through her journey of healing, both physically and mentally, Kelsey opens up about her struggles with PTSD and how she learned to be kinder to herself. Her story serves as a stark reminder that even in the darkest of times, laughter and hope can help us heal and move forward. I loved Kelsey's company so much. She left me feeling inspired, moved and motivated. She doesn’t do much stuff like this so I can’t thank her enough. Thanks to Radix Nutrition for sponsoring this episode. They are (currently) a little kiwi company doing big things. Check them out for yourself right here: https://radixnutrition.co.nz/ .

Simon Cochrane ("Ultraman" world record holder)
Simon Cochrane: A week before this podcast conversation took place, Simon Cochrane travelled from his home in Hamilton NZ to take part in the "Ultraman" event in Noosa as a relative unknown in this event. After 3 days of intense and brutal racing he not only won the event, he also SMASHED the world record. The Ultraman event is a crazy few days of racing. It was created in 1983 by some mad bastards who, I'm assuming, decided the Ironman distance was too easy LOL. This is what an Ultraman weekend looks like: Day 1: 10km ocean swim and a 145km bike ride. Day 2: 276-km bike ride. Day 3: 84-km run (double marathon). This is definitely an episode for the running and multi-sport nerds. But there are takeaways in this conversation for everyone. Including time management and how to get more out of yourself every day, and how you can change your situation if you aren’t happy with it and the importance of enjoying everything you do- and how that’s a mindset you can choose. As Simon says with his endurance events: “Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional.” Thanks very much to my pals at Radix Nutrition for sponsoring this episode: https://radixnutrition.co.nz/ Hosted on Acast.

Hadyn Jones is an ultramarathon runner (that’s one of the caps he wears). He is also a well-known current affairs TV host. You may recognize the face or voice from Fair Go, Seven Sharp, the good sorts segment at the end of the news on Sunday night (a really cool feature he has done for years). He is also a dad and a husband. All roles that he juggles successfully. His secret includes getting his long runs done when the kids are in bed! We discussed his running journey, his career including his early years working with Sir Paul Holmes and the decision to relocate and work from Taranaki. We talk about his home life, his recollections from losing his dad at the age of 5 and much more. I loved sitting down with Haydn and I hope you guys enjoy it too.

Leigh Hart (NZ TV royalty- his most raw & vulnerable interview ever)
If you say you don't know who Leigh Hart is, I'd probably raise an eye brow. He has been part of the New Zealand comedy and TV landscape for two decades now. He is also the face of Hellers sausages, the creator of Wakachangi beer and, more recently, the insanely good Snackachangi chips THE best Salt n Vinegar chips in the world). BUT whether you know him or not, I think you’ll be a fan of Leigh after this. It’s a fascinating insight into the mind of a creative genius. We get real deep and talk about his childhood which included a whole year without seeing his parents. His entire TV career and which of his old work he regrets now, and how the famous snackachngi chips came about. Lee also reflects on his marriage breakup, the resilience needed to get through it, and how he has become more emotionally vulnerable with age. This was my favourite part of the conversation. His honestly and vulnerability was profound. Thanks to my friends at Radix Nutrition for sponsoring this episode. I am a daily user of their protein powder. Start every day with a shake for breakfast. Their banana flavor is incredible. They are much more than amazing and delicious protein powder though.

Just 4 days before recording this podcast, Jono Ridler had SMASHED the New Zealand open water swim distance record when he swam 99 kilometers (previous record was 80km) His 33 hour non-stop swim without a wetsuit started on a fine Tuesday morning and finished on a very story Wednesday night. I really hope you guys like this chat. Jono is not a big name guest…he’s just a regular guy who has done something incredible and inspiring. Actually, to give you an idea of just how regular he is, after finishing this 99km swim on Wednesday night he spent Thursday in Hospital then was back at work on Friday! . I absolutely love that- ordinary people doing extraordinary things There are lots of lessons in here about staying positive and not giving up when things get hard.

Campbell Johnstone: First openly gay All Black.
Campbell Johnstone made a name for himself in NZ rugby circles as an All Black and Canterbury Crusaders rugby star in the early 2000's, He made a name for himself internationally in early 2023 when he became the first ever openly gay all black. This is his story. This is as they say in rugby, a podcast of two halves- the first half zooms in on his sexuality and the second half looks back on his rugby career which included three super rugby titles. We chat about his decision to do the interview on Seven Sharp with Hilary Barry, growing up gay and his earliest sexual experiences, coming out to his parents, dabbling with the Grindr dating app and much more. Then we look back on his rugby career- his thoughts on Razor Robertson as a coach, the hilarious reaction from his dad when he told him he was an All Black, his awkward haka experiences and more. I really enjoyed Campbells company and I hope you guys love this conversation and get something from it. Thanks very much to the absolute legends at Radix Nutrition for sponsoring this episode. I start every day with their protein powder mixed with ice cubes and a bit of trim milk. If you are not using protein powder- you should give it a go.

Billy Evans (Boston police commissioner)
William "Billy" Evans. It was an absolute honor and a privilege to spend an hour with Billy Evans in Boston, just 2 days after the 2023 Boston marathon (which he ran with his two sons). Ten years ago, Billy ran the Boston marathon, then shortly after finishing, he and his entire Boston police force had to get to work to try and find out who was responsible for the two bombs that went off near the finish line of the marathon. If you have seen the Netflix documentary series, “American Manhunt: The Boston marathon bombing” you will be familiar with Billy. He is the first face you see in episode one. He is also the person responsible for capturing one of the two bombers alive after he called for a ceasefire after an intense shoot-out on a boat. Billy has lived in Boston his whole life and spent his entire adult life in law enforcement. He is a passionate runner, husband, dad, and Bostonian. And I could not believe my luck when he kindly agreed to sit down with me while I was in his city. In our hour we talk about his relationship with running, his upbringing and losing both his parents at a young age, his decades as a cop in Boston then the Boston bombing, a case that defined his career. Thanks very much to my mates at Radix Nutrition for sponsoring this episode. These guys are doing incredible work with their small team from their big factory in Waikato. And it’s an honor to have a front row seat as they take on the world: They do a whole range of exceptional products- I start the day with a protein shake using their powder (usually banana or coconut).

SUZY CATO. I think for the most part Suzy is a New Zealander who needs no introduction. Chances are if you are in your 20s or 30s now, she was a big part of your childhood (she is the undisputed queen of children’s TV in Aotearoa). In this episode, I had the pleasure of diving deep into her life and career. We explored her beginnings in radio, her transition to TV, and how she met her husband, Steve. We also discussed Susie's experiences dealing with the heartbreak of losing a baby and being let go from TV3, as well as how she bounced back from those terrible experiences. We talked about Susie's relationship with exercise and her childhood growing up in Kaikohe. We touched on Suzy’s personal experiences with prioritizing mental health, coping with grief and navigating career changes. We also discussed her stints on reality TV with Dancing with the Stars and The Masked Singer. She is such fun company and I really hope you guys enjoy it as much as I did.

Rich Farrell!! I suspect you have not heard the name before. Rich isn’t famous, but he is one of the physically strongest men in New Zealand. Using his stage name “the madness” he goes to competitions and lifts boulders and logs, flips big tractor tyre's, those sorts of things. He went through a lot of ups and downs before finding himself and then finding this sport that gave him focus and purpose. He has never told his full story publicly before, so I thank him for the opportunity. He only wants to share his journey in the hope that it can help some other people.

He became one of the most recognizable faces and names in New Zealand for his daily 1pm briefings with the PM which because essential viewing. We sat down for this podcast conversation on the 3rd anniversary of New Zealand’s initial Covid lockdown. He turned up to my place on a bike (not one with a battery either, full old school bike) wearing a correctly fixed helmet, of course. We chat about his marathon running experiences and why he is taking a break from mountain biking for a while. His early life growing up and meeting his wife Libby at medical school. The anxiety of facing the media at 1pm every day and the terror of doing radio interviews with Mike Hosking on Newstalk ZB. His relationship with Jacinda Ardern during the pandemic and their relationship now The viral "spread your legs" moment. His Knighthood and much more. We had limited time so there was a lot of stuff I would have liked to cover that we didn’t get round to.

Bite size: Rachel Hunter reflects on her break up with Rod Stewart
Rachel Hunter was a secondary school student in Auckland when she was "discovered" by a photographer as she ran along an Auckland beach. She soon became one of the world’s most in demand models, earning a reputation only a handful of people had as a “super model.“ In this "bite size" clip taken from our full conversation, Rachel and I speak openly about her ex-husband and the father of her children, Rod Stewart, She reveals why she has never read the parts about herself in his book and reflects on that moment she told him the relationship wasn't going to last and her feeling about him now. Even though they broke up over 20 years ago, I know this is a tough subject so I can't thank Rachel enough for going back there and reflecting. If you like this bite size podcast, please go and listen to the whole conversation when you have time. It was a very enjoyable one to do.

ZANE ROBERTSON- A worldwide exclusive interview
On Tuesday March 22, it was announced that NZ distance runner, Zane Robertson had received a seven-year ban for failing a drug test. Four years was for taking the banned substance EPO, an additional three years was for trying to cover up his failed test. At the age of 33, this likely spells the end of his professional career. Zane and I connected to have this conversation the morning after, Thursday March 23. In this podcast, a tired and understandably emotional Zane talked openly and frankly about the announcement and the events leading up to it.

Rachel Hunter
Rachel Hunter was a secondary school student in Auckland when she was "discovered" by a photographer. She soon became one of the world’s most in demand models, earning a reputation only a handful of people had of people had as a “super model.“ So, what business does she have being on a podcast called Runners only? Glad you asked! She literally was out running when she was “discovered.” This conversation was so enjoyable. We cover a lot of ground including the moment she quit school to become a model- great story…it involves a phone call to the school office landline while she was mid math’s exam. Her reflections on Andy Hayden and how she got a gruff ex All Black to be her manager (Spoiler: it was a lot harder than you'd think). We chat about the iconic Trumpet ad, posing for Playboy and staring in the iconic Stacie’s mom music video. Why she has never read the chapter about herself in the Rod Stewart autobiography. We talk about Rod a lot…probably way more than she was comfortable with- sorry Rach!! LOL The death of her mum, becoming a grandmother, menopause and much much more.

Episode 1: Mitch James
Mitch James is a well known New Zealand singer. He is also a marathon runner. But he is so much more than those things. He is one of the most authentic, vulnerable and transparent people I have ever met. A true open book. 100% BS free. There are some serious things we touch upon- including mental health and suicide. And I respect Mitch for his honesty. Warning- He DOES like to swear...so keep that in mind if you are with little kids or anyone who is easily shocked. PS: Mitch has a new song called "History" coming out later this week. Look out for it. It's probably awesome. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Adam Parore
In the 90’s and early 2000s, Adam Parore was a star of the NZ cricket team. Then he could be seen on the cover of Women’s Day every other week. Over a decade ago he went to ground and there has been very little written about him in the public domain ever since. This conversation is sort of in three different chapters: The cricket career, including being mentored by his mate Martin Crowe. Climbing Mount Everest….and almost dying the day before he made it to the summit. Why he removed himself from the public eye, his loves and losses and the toll that’s played on his mental health and a bunch of other really special stuff that I loved and I hope you do too. Thanks so much to the sponsors of this episode. Radix Nutrition.

Shane Cameron is one of New Zealands best known boxers. He is now a sucessful businessman. Shane and I sat down for this podcast way back in January. Long before the podcast “Runners Only!” even launched. Being on the cusp of being an actual boomer, I lost this entire audio file and some others…or so I thought. They turned up the other day on an SD card (long born story). Shane’s a good dude and I forgot how enjoyable our conversation was. We talk in depth about the “fight of the century” against David Tua (and how long it took him to recover mentally from the beating), Dancing with the stars, life before and after boxing, the Commonwealth games, and heaps more. Please “subscribe” if your podcast platform allows it, and it’ll be on your phone on Monday morning when you wake up.

As well as being a mum to three kids, Rachel is also one of the best lower limb amputee para-climber in the world. What makes this even more remarkable is the backstory. When she was 16, Rachel had a freak fall from a reasonably small height at an indoor climbing wall and broke both her ankles. Then years later as an adult she decided to return to the spot she loves…even though it had, in many ways, ruined her life. In 2019, Rach made the decision to amputate below her left knee. It’s a hell of a journey and I really hope you guys like it. Rachel Maia is a woman on a mission to remind each and every one of us that we all have unlimited potential. Need to warn you, there were a couple of sound and microphone issues with this episode. I’m so sorry about that. If you are listening with earplugs in it may not be too annoying (hopefully) but yeah, its an incredible story so I hope Rach's story is bigger than the technical difficulties. Dom Hosted on Acast.

Bite size: Kendra Cocksedge
On the evening of Saturday November 13, 2021, while Kendra was overseas with the Black Ferns, her sister and brother-in-law in Taranaki were dealing with the tragic news that their 18-year-old son, Jordy had drowned in the Waiwhakaiho River. Speaking to media at the time about her sons passing, Kendras sister Nic said: “He was just one of a kind. He was so loveable, so witty. Life without him is going to be dim. We still are broken, and we will be for a long time. I’m dreading the rest of my life to be fair.” In this poignant bite size clip taken from our full conversation, Kendra reflects on Jordy and how she managed her own grief while being stuck in MIQ, away from her family. It was an incredibly difficult thing to talk about so I can’t thank Kendra enough for being so open. Dom Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Episode 49: Kendra Cocksedge
Kendra Cocksedge was part of the Black Ferns team who just recently won the Rugby World cup in front of a packed Eden Park crowd. That final was her very last game after 15 years in the team. That win put the bow on what has been a mindblowing career: 15 years in the NZ Black Ferns. 2015 world player of the year. And in 2018 the first woman to ever win the Player of the Year at the NZ rugby awards. When I caught up with Kendra I offered her transport to my place. She declined and said she could make her own way there….then she turned up on a lime scooter. I really enjoyed getting to pick her brains and find out what makes her tick and I hope you guys do as well. Dom Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Episode 48: Dr. Paul Wood
Dr Paul Wood is a motivational speaker and author. The 45-year-old is also a husband and father of two boys. The life he lives is a far cry from his late teens and entire twenties- when Paul was 18, he convicted of murder and served 11 years in prison. Some of you will make your mind up about Paul without even listening to this episode. He knows this and understands your 'why.' For those of you who listen with an open mind, there are so many lessons we can all get from Paul’s very long road to redemption. It was in jail that Paul Wood decided to use the time wisely by studying. He became the first person in New Zealand's history to progress through undergraduate and master’s degrees while in prison. He was also the first person to begin a doctorate while incarcerated. Really hope you like this one. Thanks, Dom Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

He won the hearts of the nation with his long hair and IDGAF speech that went viral where he described himself as “a kid from Nelson who reads books and runs round in circles.” Brilliant. He was born with a condition that meant walking was near impossible. So, his parents made the call to get his feet amputated before he was old enough to remember.

Episode 44: Nick Ashill (Wellington dude who completed an epic run across USA against all odds)
In August 2017, Nick Ashhill was 81 punishing days into his run from one side of America to the other- LA to NY- doing around 50k every day. He didn’t finish the run though. He was the victim of what he reckons was a deliberate hit and run accident from some meth head in a pick up truck that left him fighting for his life. 16 surgeries and 5 years later, Nick went back to the spot of his accident to finish what he started. This is definitely one for the running nerds. But I reckon its also just a pretty interesting story about an ordinary kiwi whose done some pretty extraordinary stuff despite some serious big hurdles to overcome.

Bite size: Nikki Kaye (Breast cancer survivor, former National party deputy leader)
At the time of posting this bite size clip from my full podcast with Nikki Kaye, it is the breast cancer pink ribbon street appeal in New Zealand (If you go past a collector, please don’t pretend you are reading something on your phone). In fact, I’d urge you to look round the house or car for any actual money- preferably notes- that you could drop in one of the buckets. In this clip, Nikk Kaye, the former National party deputy leader, talks us through her devastating diagnosis back in 2016 and the entire journey that followed. Its not an easy listen in parts, but I can't thank Nikki enough for being so open. Here are some other stats from Breast Cancer NZ. The number on the left is age by decade. The numbers on the right are the risk of breast cancer in the next ten years: 20s 1 in 1,314 30s 1 in 204 40s 1 in 50 50s 1 in 37 60s 1 in 29 70s 1 in 36 Here is a link if you wish to make a donation anytime you like: https://www.breastcancerfoundation.org.nz/donate/donate-now Hosted on Acast.

Episoide 43: Joseph Sullivan (Olympic gold medalist, 2x Americas cup winner, fire fighter)
Joseph Sullivan is a HERO! But I feel like he is one of those under-the-radar heroes. Where the name rings a bell, but you can’t quite recall where you know it form. And that is just the way this unassuming fire fighter and father from Bay of Plenty likes it. At the 2012 Olympics, he won a gold medal. His rowing race was so epic that he won a Halberg Award for "New Zealand's Favorite Sporting Moment". He retired prematurely in 2014 after being screwed over by Rowing NZ, something which broke him and took a while to recover from. Since then, he has found a new purpose in the NZ fire service. He got married, had 2 kids. Oh, and trained as a grinder for Team NZ and won the Americas Cup. Twice. It was such an honor to sit with Joseph at the Kawarau fire station to cover all aspects of his incredible life so far. The very high highs. And the very deep lows. Hosted on Acast.

If you like this, feel free to download the full episode with Zoe and save it for a later date. In this bite size clip, Zoe talks me through the moment she decided to pull out of the Olympic Games to prioritize her health. It was a decision that crushed not only her chance at Olympic gold, but also that of her rowing partner, Jackie Kiddle. Jackie is still rowing and, at the time of writing, was in Poland for the World Rowing Coastal Champs. Zoe is the healthiest and happiest she has been in years and is currently working towards a degree which is oarsome (see what I did there? One for the rowers). Dom Hosted on Acast.

Episode 42: Zoe McBride (Rower who prioritzed mental health over a possible Olympic medal)
Zoe McBride was a three-time world champion for rowing. But her success came at a huge personal toll- physically first in the form of an obsession with her weight, then mentally. It all came to a head in April last year when Zoe and her rowing partner, Jackie Kiddle were gearing up for the Tokyo Olympics (where a medal was almost a certainty). They never made it to the Olympics. After endless months of wrestling with demons, Zoe made the call to put her physical and mental health first, a move that crushed not only her own Olympic dream, but Jackie’s as well. This is the incredible story of Zoe McBride- the world champion rower who prioritized her physical and mental health over likely Olympic glory. Hosted on Acast.

Sir John Kirwan is an All Black legend. But its what he has done since retiring from sport that has made him an all-round legend. 15 years ago JK reluctantly spoke publicly about his depression and mental health struggles (we discuss his reluctance in this chat- I won't tell you who pushed him into doing it!) I’m absolutely fizzing about sharing this one- just in time for Mental Health awareness week in New Zealand- Sir John Kirwan. Mental health has never had more chat that what it currently gets. This guy was the trailblazer. NOBODY really talked about this stuff publicly before Sir John. There are so many tips, tricks and tools from JK in this conversation that we can all use to improve our mental health. We also reminisce a little bit about his time as a butcher, an All Black and a DB Bitter Warrior. If this episode triggers anything, PLEASE chat to someone you trust. Or text 1737 anytime (NZ). You’ll get to chat to a trained counsellor. Dom Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

But she is so much more than that. She’s done the coast to coast multi sport event a few times and was even an age group running champ in her teens. She is also a cancer survivor- this was a diagnosis she got when she was holding down the job of a Cabinet minister that saw her chalking up 100 hour work weeks. We cover alot of stuff in this conversation and she really opens up in the second half when we get to the real important stuff- like the cancer, mental wellbeing and therapy, she could not have been more open than she was. And I really thank her for that. I really enjoyed this chat with Nikki and I hope you guys do as well. Dom. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This bite sized episode comes from the full length conversation with Brad Smeele, pro wakeboarder turned quadraplegic andn ow a best selling author!

Or pehaps you are time-poor and can't spare a whole hour (maybe after hearing a bite size episode you will decide to go back to the full length episode when you do have time). In this snippet, Brad discusses Suzie, a remarkable Auckland Kinesiologist who helped him with muscle injuries pre-accident, then helped him retrain his mind and belief systems post accident. Brad talks about Suzie and the lessons learned in great detail in his book, "Owning Up."

The first episode with Brad is one that I still get messages about most weeks. I think this conversation will be just as impactful. So many lessons in here and a look inside his best selling book which has just come out, "Owning it." Its a great book- I read the entire thing (and its a big-ass book). Brad wrote the whole thing, all 500,000 words using a mouth stylus and tapping on his iPhone screen woodpecker style. Its a mind blowing achievement.

Very exciting day for Victoria Taylor. At 4am this morning (September 1, 2022) she will start her attempt to beat the official world record for running the length of NZ, a record that has stood since 1975. To claim the record, she will havew to run about three full marathons every day for 18 days. Just let that sink in for a second....around 126km per day for 18 days! Its a mindblowing thing to attempt. What makes this attempt even more remarkable is she is the mum of a two year old so has done most of her training pushing him in a stroller. She knows what she is in for though, ten years ago when she was 19 she ran the length of NZ in 34 days.

Then switched to rugby and briefly made the All Blacks before switching to rugby league where he made a name for himself as one of the most gifted and highest paid players in the world. After retiring from sport he enjoyed more success as a TV star and half of an incredibly successful comedy duo with Marc Ellis. Despite living so much of his life on TV and in magazines, Matthew is a relatively private person these days so it was a real honour to sit down with him for a conversation about many different aspects of his life- sports, fame, love, divorce, parenthood, legal troubles, drugs, reputation and much much more.

Lots of big laughs, as you'd expect from Rhys, but also lots of really good insightful chat. It was good to peel back those hilarious top few layers and get a little glimpse into the man behind that voice, those jokes, those movies, those international commercials, etc. Rhys is a New Zealand treasure so it was surreal having him round at my place sitting in my podcast studio (spare room) to share stories about his incredible life.

Many New Zealander over a certain age probably remember an iconic student bar called The Fat Ladies Arms. That was the brain child of Leo Molly in the early 1990s in Palmerston North. That is when we became friends. Since then Leo has ridden the extreme highs and lows of hospitality with resturants and bars including Euro, Cowboys, Headquarters and Cardiac (Which sent him bankrupt). At the time of releasing this, Leo has just announced that he is pulling out of the race to be the next Mayor of Auckland (This chat was recorded earlier in the year and we talk about pretty much everything EXCEPT for politics). This was a fun conversation- if you've never heard of Leo you'll get to learn about the life of one of New Zealands great characters. If you have a pre concevied idea of who Leo is, this may change your opinion (or not LOL). Dom Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

31: Sophie Devine (NZ sporting legend- Cricket AND hockey)
Sophie Devine is pretty much NZ sporting royalty (She will squirm big time at that sentence!). She’s played hockey for NZ and she is currently the captain of the White Ferns cricket team. She made her first class debut at 14 and has been in the national side since she was 17 (she’s 32 now). She’s a bloody laugh and I loved our chat. She was 100% open and honest about a terrifying breakdown she experienced that saw her walk away from the game she loves until she felt ready to return. We also talk about living with diabetes, her really-reaaly long distance relationship, playing in all boys teams as a kid and loads more. Theres a fair bit of cricket chat in here. But shes such a good story teller that it is all pretty good stuff. Follow Sophie on IG: @Sophd77 This podcast has been brought to you by Arepa.

Due to the nature of Kerry’s injury, he was unable to get real close to the microphone (Sorry about that- I need better equipment for occasions like this). But I hope you guys can get past these audio issues and still appreciate this story from 2 of life’s most inspiring people. Kerry and Ali are couple goals. They met at a trail running event 8 years ago in a case of love at first site. Since then, they set up their coaching business Squadrun and have helped thousands of runners of all ability achieve things they doubted were possible. On the 26th of February 2022 Kerry Suter went into Rotorua’s Whakarewarewa forest on a mountain bike. He was taken out in a rescue helicopter. This mountain bike ride was to be the final piece of movement for the supremely fit superhuman. I caught up with Kerry and Ali in what has become their home since the accident, a spinal unit in Auckland. This conversation was recorded in May 22, less than 3 months after the accident. Its not an easy listen. We laughed a lot- humor is a big coping mechanism for these legends. We also cried a lot.

Bite size: Barry Magee recalls his 1960 Olympic marathon race to a bronze medal.
The 1960 Olympics in Rome have historical significance for New Zealand, then a little known country of just 2 million people. Murray Halberg and Peter Snell both in black singlets won gold medals on the track within an hour of each other. Not long after that their friend and training partner, Barry Magee won a bronze medal in the dark in the marathon. As well as all being Kiwis and friends. All three men were trained by the great coach, Arthur Lydiard (who had to pay his own way over and was not allowed to stay in the village or watch his athletes. In this short podcast recap, 88-year-old Barry gives us a blow by blow of the greatest day of his life with detail so crisp it feels like you are running alongside him. I can’t thank Barry enough for sharing his story with me. And I hope you guys enjoy it. Dom Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

17: Barry Magee (1960 Olympic marathon bronze medalist)
88 year old Barry Magee was, in his own words, only a “decent runner” compared to his training partners in the 1950s. Then again, his training partners were Peter Snell and Sir Murray Halberg. (Barry’s best 5000m time was 13.39 so you be the judge about his talent or lack of!!). The three Arthur Lydiard coached athletes went to the 1960 Olympic games in Rome. Expectation was high for Snell and Hallberg (which they both delivered on, winning gold within an hour of each other). But Barry was not even expected to be anywhere near the podium for the marathon. Due to the heat in Rome, the marathon time was changed to late afternoon meaning it finished in the dark (running on cobblestones with no streetlights). This meant Barry had no idea that he had won the bronze medal when he finished in pitch black in what has gone on to be known as one of the greatest marathons of the century! This is an exhilarating story of a golden era of New Zealand athletics, and it was an absolute honor to sit with Barry and have him reminisce. He still coaches to this day and can often be found at the finish line cheering on his athletes. He is a man who has devoted his life to running. This is a must listen for any history buffs or running nerds. Big thanks to the sponsor of this episode, the incredible HUAWEI WATCH GT runner.

Arch (Archibald) Jelly was the career-long coach of John Walker, Olympic gold medalist and one of our best runners ever. I am so glad I got to meet Arch and now get to share this story with you. In this conversation you'll hear: What it was like living through the great depression of 1930 in Dunedin. His experiences inside submarines during WW2. The story of how he coached John Walker to be one of New Zealand’s greatest evert runners. The (rather unromantic) story of how he got with his second wife at the age of 80. His thoughts on getting a Telegram from the Queen when he turns 100 in August and much, much more. This is so much more than a running conversation- its a history lesson. Arch is a war vet and his father fought (and survived) Gallipoli in the First World War. So it seems fitting to release this episode on Monday April 25th, ANZAC day in NZ.

This snippet is for anyone who skipped Mondays episode with NZ cricket all rounder Jimmy Neesham or just hasn't got round to listening yet (maybe you intentionally didn't listen coz you don't like cricket LOL).

Bite size (ICYMI) NZ track queen Laura Nagel on the diagnosis that threatened to end her career
This snippet comes from Mondays conversation with Laura Nagel. She is a track runner who is unbeaten on the track this year and holds the NZ titles for 1500, 3000 and 5000 metres. 5 years ago a Doctor (not Dre or Phil- a real life medical doctor) told her a knee injury was a career ender (LOL). This is how she pushed through. This clip includes a brilliant way to re-frame any sporting injury any of us may suffer. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

7: Jeremy Wells (NZ media legend)
There is so much more to Jeremy Wells than just that RIDICULOUSLY good looking face that we see on TV and Billboards. As well as holiding down two high profile media roles (a breakfast radio show and a 7pm current affairs show). Jeremy also finds time to run most days of the week. In this wide ranging conversation we talk about his why- why he started. We chat about being raised posh, the most troule he got into as a youth, the lowest point in his life, his big break on TV, his co-hosts, cancel culture and why he will never ever go back to Gore. I thoroughly enjoyed this conversation and I really hope you do as well. This weeks episode sponsored by Triumph & Disaster: triumphanddisaster.co.nz Hosted on Acast.

6: Rachel Grunwell (Wellness expert and marathon runner)
Rachel was a highly strung investigative journalist. Her life pivoted when her editor asked her to do a "fish out of water" series of stories where she tried different fitness fads. This is how she discovered running and fell in love with the marathon disance. Good conversation for any non runners who would like to know where to start. Also contains traces of real talk about alcohol, depression and relationship break ups (Its not as bleak as it sounds- we also share lots of laughs). Hosted on Acast.

From the experience of losing his dad as a kid to a blow by blow of how he finished 3rd at the Olymic games last year.
