About this episode

Dave Letele interviews Ezra Hirawani about his journey in creating a Māori-owned power company to combat power poverty.

This week, Dave sits down with Ezra Hirawani — co-founder of Nau Mai Rā — for a powerful kōrero about business, purpose, and building something that actually helps people. After telling his nan he was starting a power company, she shared that she would sometimes sit cold and alone, afraid to turn the heater on because she couldn’t afford the power bill. That moment changed everything. Ezra turned that into Nau Mai Rā — a Māori-owned power company built to fight power poverty, keep whānau warm, and make sure families never have to choose between food and power. A real conversation about entrepreneurship, responsibility, and using success to create change. Massive shoutout to Ezra for coming onto the podcast: https://www.naumaira.nz/ Hosted on Acast.
