Kendra Cocksedge was part of the Black Ferns team who just recently won the Rugby World cup in front of a packed Eden Park crowd. That final was her very last game after 15 years in the team. That win put the bow on what has been a mindblowing career: 15 years in the NZ Black Ferns. 2015 world player of the year. And in 2018 the first woman to ever win the Player of the Year at the NZ rugby awards. When I caught up with Kendra I offered her transport to my place. She declined and said she could ...

Liam Malone became a household name back in 2016 when he cleaned up on the track at the Rio Paralympics, winning 2 golds and a silver. He won the hearts of the nation with his long hair and IDGAF speech that went viral where he described himself as “a kid from Nelson who reads books and runs round in circles.” Brilliant. He was born with a condition that meant walking was near impossible. So, his parents made the call to get his feet amputated before he was old enough to remember. He’s such a fa...

I caught up with Jesse Tuke fresh from his win on Celebrity Treasure Island. It was filmed at the beginning of this year so he has been sitting on this $100,000 secret for months! As well as chatting about his reality TV experience we talk about life in the shadow of a famous brother (Blair Tuke), being one of the last people to see “Inga the Winger” before he passed away, coping with being the “villain” on a reality TV show, his relationship with running and much much more.

This episode first came out back in June this year. Today in New Zealand it is "Gumboot Friday." A fundraising day created by Mike kings I Am Hope organisation.

Its very informative, with lots of mental health advice, but its also bloody funny. And to donate to gumboot...

In August 2017, Nick Ashhill was 81 punishing days into his run from one side of America to the other- LA to NY- doing around 50k every day. He didn’t finish the run though. He was the victim of what he reckons was a deliberate hit and run accident from some meth head in a pick up truck that left him fighting for his life. 16 surgeries and 5 years later, Nick went back to the spot of his accident to finish what he started. This is definitely one for the running nerds. But I reckon its also just ...

At the time of posting this bite size clip from my full podcast with Nikki Kaye, it is the breast cancer pink ribbon street appeal in New Zealand (If you go past a collector, please don’t pretend you are reading something on your phone). In fact, I’d urge you to look round the house or car for any actual money- preferably notes- that you could drop in one of the buckets.

Joseph Sullivan is a HERO! But I feel like he is one of those under-the-radar heroes. Where the name rings a bell, but you can’t quite recall where you know it form. And that is just the way this unassuming fire fighter and father from Bay of Plenty likes it. At the 2012 Olympics, he won a gold medal. His rowing race was so epic that he won a Halberg Award for "New Zealand's Favorite Sporting Moment". He retired prematurely in 2014 after being screwed over by Rowing NZ, something which broke him...

Zoe McBride was a three-time world champion for rowing. But her success came at a huge personal toll- physically first in the form of an obsession with her weight, then mentally. It all came to a head in April last year when Zoe and her rowing partner, Jackie Kiddle were gearing up for the Tokyo Olympics (where a medal was almost a certainty). They never made it to the Olympics. After endless months of wrestling with demons, Zoe made the call to put her physical and mental health first, a move t...

86-year-old Garth Barfoot is in London at the time of posting this (participating in the 2022 London marathon). He has had an incredible career in real estate (Barfoot and Thompson). But it’s through his feats in endurance running and triathlon events that I know him. What makes Garth even more remarkable is his entry to the sport- he didn’t start competing until his late 50’s, proving it’s never too late to do something that seems impossibly hard.

Sir John Kirwan is an All Black legend.

Nikki Kaye is best known as being the former deputy leader of the National party while it was in opposition (and also a high profile cabinet minister during one of the parties most successful stints in power, under John Key). But she is so much more than that. She’s done the coast to coast multi sport event a few times and was even an age group running champ in her teens. She is also a cancer survivor- this was a diagnosis she got when she was holding down the job of a Cabinet minister that saw ...

So many lessons in here and a look inside his best selling book which has just come out, "Owning it." Its a great book- I read the entire thing (and its a big-ass book). Brad wrote the whole thing, all 500,000 words using a mouth stylus a...
