By pure coincidence this conversation was recorded exactly 20 years to the day after Sharyn Casey and I first met.Back then, she was 20 years old, wildly ambitious and by her own admission trying far too hard to make everyone like her.Fast forward two decades and Sharyn has walked away from the radio job that shaped her entire adult identity - and she’s figuring out who she is without it. This conversation is funny, honest and, at times, very graphic. Listener discretion is advised. Sharyn Casey is warm, chaotic, vulnerable, self-aware and very bloody funny. AND she is the more comfortable and content in her own skin than I have ever seen her before. At 40 she knows exactly who she is and she is very comfortable with who she is. And I am proud to be able to call her a friend.Check out Sharyn’s pop culture show, A Little Bit Extra: https://www.youtube.com/@ALittleBitExtraPodcast*Huge thanks to the team at Generate. I switched my KiwiSaver account to Generate after they came on board as a show sponsor, and honestly, I should’ve done it sooner.  Generate are an award-winning KiwiSaver provider with strong long‑term performance - you can check out their latest returns online, or book a no‑obligation chat with one of their friendly advisers at https://www.generatewealth.co.nz/domThe issuer of the scheme is Generate Investment Management Limited.

Pete Bethune from Hamilton is one of the most unique and intriguing guests I’ve ever had on this podcast.He’s worked on oil rigs, been bitten by a deadly snake, flown on the Concorde, spent $3 million building one of the coolest boats ever made and holds the world record for taking it round the world in the fastest time.He then took that same boat to Antarctica to protest Japanese whaling and had it rammed in half by a huge security vessel. Then he ended up spending five months in a Japanese maximum-security prison. And this is just the very small tip of a very large iceberg!Pete talks about the decisions he’s proud of - and the one decision that still hurts. He speaks honestly about prison, PTSD, losing everything, and why he still lives with the goal of making the world a slightly better because he was in it. ****Massive thanks to my long-term podcast sponsor, Generate. We’ve all got that one mate who’s convinced they’ve worked out how to beat the market, usually with a lot of confidence and no actual expertise.  So, here's your reminder not to get caught up in the noise and trust the real investment experts at Generate.  I sat down with a Generate KiwiSaver adviser when they came on as sponsor in 2023, and it was one of those conversations that made me think, why didn’t I do this earlier?  A Generate adviser can help you figure out what fund type is best suited to your KiwiSaver goals.  Start planning now: Book a FREE chat with an adviser at https://www.generatewealth.co.nz/domThe issuer of the scheme is Generate Investment Management Limited.

New Zealand’s top content creator Louis Davis is back, and somehow, in the two years since we last spoke, life has become even more wild!He’s written a book, finished 3rd on Celebrity Treasure Island, interviewed some of the biggest names on the planet, and taken his dad to Turkey for a brand-new smile.But behind all that success are stories he hasn’t told on Tik Tok about ambition, his complex relationship with his dad and the eating disorder Louis has quietly lived with since he was eight years old.That’s the first hour! Then the episode revisits Louis’s original podcast visit from 2024. That covers his relationship with his wife, the viral KFC wedding photo and his mission to change how Māori fathers are represented. If you missed it when it first came out, you’ll love it.***Massive thanks to my long‑term podcast sponsor, Generate. Your KiwiSaver account is one of those things that’s easy to set up and then completely ignore whilst you’re hoping it’s all working out in the background. I had a chat with a Generate KiwiSaver adviser when they came on as sponsor, and it genuinely gave me clarity on what it means to have a KiwiSaver plan, and whether mine was actually set up to perform over the long-term.  Generate is an award‑winning KiwiSaver provider with a strong track record of long‑term performance.

Laurie Daley is Australian rugby league royalty: former Australian captain, winner of 3 Premierships with the Canberra Raiders, NSW captain at just 22. And the man who has twice coached the Blues to State of Origin glory.But this conversation goes well beyond the sport that made him famous.Laurie opens up about growing up as the only boy among seven sisters, the sacrifices his parents made, his Aboriginal heritage and making his first-grade debut for Canberra at just 17.  He shares the lessons Wayne Bennett and Mal Meninga taught him, the brutal pressure of coaching State of Origin and the impact of media criticism on his family, his thoughts on game 2 being played at Eden Park in 2027 and much more.This is the first time we met, and I could tell within minutes I was in the presence of a champion. Laurie is humble, tough and relentlessly positive. This is a glimpse into the man behind the rugby league legend.***Massive thanks to my long‑term podcast sponsor, Generate. Like a lot of Kiwis, I spent years saying, “I’ll look at my KiwiSaver account later.” Turns out later comes around faster than you think, and the decisions you make now could be the difference between thriving or surviving in retirement.I switched my KiwiSaver account to Generate after they came on board, and honestly, I should’ve done it sooner. They’re an award-winning KiwiSaver provider- they have won the Consumer NZ People’s Choice Award for KiwiSaver 6 times.You can check out their latest returns online, or book a no‑obligation chat with one of their friendly advisers at: https://www.generatewealth.co.nz/domNo pressure, no judgement, no hard sell. They are just there to help wherever you’re at in your investing journey.  The issuer of the scheme is Generate Investment Management Limited.
