The Dom Harvey Podcast

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.Generate are award-winning KiwiSaver specialists. If you’ve never got KiwiSaver advice before, visit this link to request a no-obligation chat with one of their advisers:https://www.generatewealth.co.nz/domA copy of their product disclosure statement is available on their website.

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 (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.As well as age, other risk factors include family history of veins disease, being overweight, standing jobs, and pregnancy. And despite popular belief, varicose veins is not a cosmetic complaint – if left untreated, they can lead to serious health issues.Skin Institute are THE experts to diagnose and treat varicose veins and use the latest non-surgical techniques.If you have health insurance, there’s a good chance your treatment will be covered – just check with your provider.If you don’t have insurance, Skin Institute are offering 20% discount off your first consultation! Just mention the Dom Harvey podcast or DOM20 at your first appointment.You can book a veins assessment online:https://www.skininstitute.co.nz/Or phone 0800 SKIN DR (0800 754 637) **Offer available until the end of 2024** Hosted on Acast.

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.

JON NABBSI 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.Thanks to my mates at Generate and Radix for sponsoring this episode. I recently found out that around half a million Kiwis are missing out on the KiwiSaver Government contribution, which is an extra $521 each year. That’s extra money, that’s well worth getting if you can.That's where Generate comes in – they make this stuff easy.

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.Thanks to my mates at Generate and Radix for sponsoring this episode. I recently found out that around half a million Kiwis are missing out on the KiwiSaver Government contribution, which is an extra $521 each year. That’s extra money, that’s well worth getting if you can.That's where Generate comes in – they make this stuff easy.

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.Big thanks to my sponsors who make these weekly conversations possible. Generate and Radix.Generate is an award winning, NZ owned and operated, Kiwisaver provider with a track record of strong long-term performance.

Simone Maier- most of you probably won’t know the name, but you are in for a treat! Simone is, plain and simply a multisport savage. 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). This episode was made entirely possible by the team at Radix. Radix sponsor Simone and took care of all her travel arrangements for this chat.

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.

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.Generate is an award-winning KiwiSaver provider, with a track record of chart topping long-term performance.If you are curious to find out more, you should check them out: www.generatekiwisaver.co.nz/getadvice/Also on their website is a copy of their product disclosure statement.

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.Generate is an award-winning KiwiSaver provider, with a track record of chart topping long-term performance.If you are curious to find out more, you should check them out: www.generatekiwisaver.co.nz/getadvice/(Also on their website is a copy of their product disclosure statement.

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 isShe’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.If I could ask one favor of you, it would be to check out their website:https://radixnutrition.co.nz/ Hosted on Acast.

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 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. If you have not done so already, you can check out their incredible nutritional products at:https://radixnutrition.co.nz/ Hosted on Acast.

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. I almost guarantee that once you try their products, you will become a fan- they are that good.https://radixnutrition.co.nz/ Hosted on Acast.

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.Check out their incredible nutritional products at:https://radixnutrition.co.nz/  Hosted on Acast.
