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. If this content raises any issue for you or someone you care about, get in touch with the PGF- Problem Gambling Foundation for free professional and confidential help.Freephone - 0800 664 262Text 5819Email: [email protected] Hosted on Acast.

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. Thanks to the incredible team at Generate for making this episode possible. They are award-winning KiwiSaver specialists.Checking if you’re in the right fund and making the most of your account can really boost your retirement lifestyle. And that’s where Generate can help.Their KiwiSaver advisers can meet with you online or in person, you place or theirs, to go over your options, and make sure your investment is working for you. Half an hour of your time and it could the best investment you ever make for your future self.

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 mediaThis chat is a celebration of resilience and self-acceptance from a woman I am lucky enough to call a good friend.Thanks to the incredible team at Generate for making this episode possible. They are award-winning KiwiSaver specialists.Checking if you’re in the right fund and making the most of your account can really boost your retirement lifestyle. And that’s where Generate can help.Their KiwiSaver advisers can meet with you online or in person, you place or theirs, to go over your options, and make sure your investment is working for you. Half an hour of your time and it could the best investment you ever make for your future self.

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. Thanks to the incredible team at Generate for making this episode possible. They are award-winning KiwiSaver specialists.Checking if you’re in the right fund and making the most of your account can really boost your retirement lifestyle. And that’s where Generate can help.Their KiwiSaver advisers can meet with you online or in person, you place or theirs, to go over your options, and make sure your investment is working for you. Half an hour of your time and it could the best investment you ever make for your future self.

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.

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).   Hosted on Acast.

ABBAS NAZARIWhen 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. And that’s where Generate can help.Generate have a team of KiwiSaver advisers across the country available to meet with you, chat through your options, and help you make sure your KiwiSaver investment is working for you.If you’ve never got KiwiSaver advice before, you should connect with one of their advisors. No pressure, no strings attached. Head togeneratekiwisaver.co.nz/dom/A copy of their product disclosure statement is available on their website.

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.

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.
