In this 1:1 episode, I’m taking you behind the scenes of an event I hosted last week with some of New Zealand’s most inspiring voices—Razor Robertson, Mea Motu, Silvana Schenone, and Zion Armstrong.
Each of them shared a moment where someone elevated them—and now, I’m passing those lessons on to you.
In this episode, you’ll discover:
- The story of how world champ boxer Mea Motu turned trauma into power—and what it means to live with no fear
- Why Silvana Schenone believes in gently pushing people into discomfort
- The powerful reminder from All Blacks coach Razor Robertson about playing freely
- How former Adidas president Zion Armstrong broke cultural norms to do what was right
If you want to lead with purpose and lift others while you climb—this one’s for you.
