Louis Davis

2023/08/06

Today’s guest is one of the biggest TikTokers in New Zealand. Louis Davis has amassed 1.3 million followers on the social media app. And no, it’s not for doing little dances (although he and his daughter dance and it is super cute) - he has captured the hearts of his audience with his beautiful content featuring his daughter Anakiwa. But also for packing up, and moving back to where he grew up to focus on family life. A lovely, wholesome, cup-filling kōrero.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy

Today’s guest is Silver Fern number 162 - Storm Purvis. The talented netballer has now shifted her talents to the screen as a presenter on The Crowd Goes Wild, and Sky Sport.

Johnny Tuivasa-Sheck

Kiwi Yarns ·

2023/07/23

Today’s guest is a former rugby league star-turned social media sensation. Johnny Tuivasa-Sheck can still side-step better than most, but he made a massive career decision to leave an NRL contract to go out on his own in the online world. And, it's paid off, because his positivity, hilarious skits and entertaining content has resulted in a HUGE following on Instagram, TikTok, Facebook and YouTube. The grand total? 1.8 MILLION across all platforms.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy

Theresa Gattung

Kiwi Yarns ·

2023/07/16

I’m so looking forward to this kōrero with Theresa Gattung - a woman who smashed through the glass ceiling and became the first female CEO of an NZX-listed company - Telecom NZ at 37-years old. She has held multiple roles with huge success - including co-founding My Food Bag. But so much of Theresa’s mahi is centred around helping girls and women find their seat at the table - wherever that table may be and whatever that table might look like. She's speaking at EQUALIZE - it's a free-entry equity

Jo Kane on swimming the Cook Strait.

Kiwi Yarns ·

2023/07/09

Resharing this one because it's an incredible story! What did you to celebrate your 40th birthday? Well Jo Kane (aka my Mum) decided that it would be the year she would swim the Cook Strait. It's an amazing story, considering she first set her sights on the notorious piece of water at age 16. Jo talks about the endurance training and mental toughness she built up over many years, and how she was able to turn around and complete the swim just weeks after a failed attempt. And yes, there's a shark in

Lance Savali

2023/07/09

Resharing this yarn because LANCE SAVALI. I’ve been wanting to interview Lance Savali for AGES! He's a hard one to pin down, because you know, he's dancing his way around the world. Just to rattle off some low key performances: with Beyonce at Coachella, J-Lo at the Superbowl, Rihanna for Savage X Fenty - no big deal right? And he does it all with a heart condition. Unreal. He's so cool. And he taught me a TikTok hahaha!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

2023/06/04

Today’s guest is an absolute weapon of an athlete. Dougal Allan is a Coast to Coast rockstar, winning the Longest Day twice, and making the podium nine times. Then, this year, he goes and pivots in quite the opposite direction - and is now staring down the barrel of an America’s Cup with Team New Zealand. You see, Dougal has been picked to be a cyclor on the team when they defend the cup in Barcelona next year. It's unreal! Dougal is a CurraNZ athlete, and CurraNZ are proudly bringing you Dougal’s

Jono Ridler

Kiwi Yarns ·

2023/05/07

Today’s guest is the ultra marathon swimmer Jono Ridler. Now if you're wondering, ultra-marathon swimming generally means a 20 kilometre or greater swim. In other words a really really long swim. Well, Jono has just absolutely blown that out of the water (I’m not apologising for that pun) and swum 99.1 kilometres across the Hauraki Gulf. It’s the longest solo-unassisted open-water swim in New Zealand history. And, he didn’t do it for the accolades or for the record books, he did it to raise

2023/04/30

Today’s guest is the super talented and bloody funny Steven Fernandez. He's an editor, a journalist, a stylist, a creative director, a producer, a publicist, and he's based in New York. If little black books were still a thing I reckon Steven’s would have some HUGE names in it (actually he showed me, he's got Kris Jenner's number).He’s been responsible for getting some of the biggest stars on the cover of Remix Magazine - we’re talking Naomi Campbell, Hayley Bieber, and just recently Ashley

Sachi

Kiwi Yarns ·

2023/04/09

Today’s guests are two great pals, two talented musicians and music producers who form the electronic duo Sachi. Will Thomas and Nick Crisp have grafted hard to get to where they are today - and it’s absolutely paid off - constantly selling out gigs and being the first Kiwis to perform at the massive Tomorrowland Festival in Belgium last year. They absolutely got me good on how they came up with their name too - possibly the most embarrassed I've ever been on this podcast!See omnystudio.com/listener
