| 6/23/26 |  Nazeel Juvale - CEO of Al Ain FC, Football ‘Tragic’, Global Traveller | In this episode, I catch up with Nazeel Juvale, CEO of Al Ain FC - one of Asia’s biggest football clubs - and a rare New Zealander who has reached senior leadership at the elite level of the global game. Now living in the United Arab Emirates, Nazeel left Aotearoa New Zealand in 2012 after roles with Deloitte and the ANZ. His career since has spanned infrastructure, tourism, entertainment, private investment, global sport, and now professional football – with the past 12 months in... | 1h 03m 29s | ||||||
| 6/9/26 |  Marc Checkley - Storyteller, Swiss Wine Guide, Provocateur | This pod sees me catching up with Lausanne-based Marc Checkley, an Auckland-born writer, host, actor, communications consultant, educator, & WSET-certified wine professional. Marc first left Aotearoa New Zealand in 2000, swapping Papatoetoe for Singapore to work in media education, digital arts, and filmmaking. Since then, his creative life has taken him across Asia and Europe - from newsrooms, studios, and senior television roles, to Olympic Games broadcasting in Beijing, work connected ... | 1h 09m 48s | ||||||
| 5/26/26 |  Darren Sissons - From Taiwan to Toronto-Based Global Financier | In this episode of Kiwi Flees I talk to Toronto-based financier, Darren Sissons, who left Aotearoa New Zealand in 1993, heading to Taiwan with $1,500 in his pocket. Darren spent five years there learning Mandarin, working in a trading company focused on export markets, and doing the sort of long-week, high-pressure apprenticeship that helped shape the resilience and perspective he's carried through the rest of his life. Since leaving New Zealand, Darren has also lived and worked in the UK b... | 1h 03m 14s | ||||||
| 5/12/26 |  Kiwi Flees - Looking Back, Looking Out | Rather than catching up with an offshore Kiwi Flee, for episode 15 I invited a former colleague and now friend, Sam Prescott, to take over the hosting duties, helping me unpick what I’ve seen, heard, and learned since launching the pod. This was a high-risk moment for me. Sam's a Co-Director of communications consultancy Sixteenth Letter and one of the sharper tacks in the toolbox. He's a successful and seasoned communications professional, a writer (do check out his Slow Comms newsletter on ... | 40m 02s | ||||||
| 4/28/26 |  Melisa White - KindStay Founder, Former Corporate Ferrari, Housing Disruptor & Thought Leader | In this pod I talk to UK-based Kiwi Flee and entrepreneur, Melisa White, whose life outside New Zealand has cut across Denmark, Singapore, and the UK, and across a remarkable range of work: from finance to recruitment, technology sales to corporate sales, performance coaching to behavioural science, mindset training and housing advocacy. Melisa, who joined me from Cardiff, Wales, describes herself as a mixed Kiwi - having a Kiwi Dad and a Singaporean Mum. Despite admitting she wasn't that gr... | 1h 02m 02s | ||||||
| 4/14/26 |  Johnny Blick - VFX Guru, Award-Winning Producer, Curiosity Champion. | In today's pod I catch up with the London-based internationally award-winning VFX guru and Producer, Johnny Blick. This pod is a little different to previous episodes as Johnny was keen to mix the conversation up - not wanting to just focus on what he's been doing offshore (perhaps the bogie of imposter syndrome raising its pernicious head again) but also to look at why so many Kiwis excel internationally. We touch on both the upsides and downsides of forging a career and life outside o... | 1h 04m 14s | ||||||
| 3/31/26 |  Kelly Rolleston - A Lion in Italy, Former Pro Athlete, Coach, Physical Activity Fun Fanatic. | In this pod I catch up with Kelly Rolleston (Ngā Rauru & Ngāti Ruanui) who joins me from his family's home in Piacenza, located in northern Italy, about 70km from Milan. Kelly whakapapas to Taranaki iwi and on his father’s side, his grandmother - Hinemoerangi Tumaroroa - was the granddaughter of the Māori spiritual and political leader Tahupōtiki Wiremu Rātana, founder of the Rātana movement. A hard-running rugby fullback who played for the Wellington Lions from 1992 to 1996, Kelly left N... | 58m 03s | ||||||

Our conversation tracks Francine's career from leading digital innovation teams with a multinational corporation, to eventually working with start-ups, and in a B Corp in the UK, before escaping Britain just before a Covid lockdown to work in NEOM, one of Saudi Arabia's many ambitious giga-pro... | 1h 02m 06s | ||||||
| 3/3/26 |  Gia Levé - Reinvention Mentor, Keynote Concert Speaker, Rewired Kiwi. | In this pod I talk to a Kiwi-born rainmaker, risk-taker, & entrepreneur, Santa Barbara-based Gia Levé, who, at 60, walked away from the life she'd built to embark on what she calls her Legacy Lap - aka the Heroine's Journey. After landing in the United States in 1980, Gia built a successful career in communications & sales before co-founding an award-winning publishing company, Dream Spaces. At 60, following the death of her father, she spent two years trying to answer the challenge p... | 1h 01m 05s | ||||||
| 2/17/26 |  Nathan James Thomas - Former Digital Nomad, Owner of Exisle Publishing & Intrepid Times, Author. | In this pod I talk to Nathan James Thomas, a veteran Kiwi traveller, writer, and publisher who left Aotearoa New Zealand more than a decade ago and built a life on the move before eventually putting down roots in Poland in 2022. Nathan left NZ in 2014, bound first for China. What began as an OE gradually evolved into something more permanent. Over the next 10 years he lived the life of a digital nomad, working across China, Spain, Hungary, Albania, Georgia, & Poland, supporting himself a... | 1h 00m 23s | ||||||
