    Episode 51: Shane Cameron

    The 'Mountain Warrior' proves the heavyweight champion of Mike Tyson impressions in a knockout chat about life before, during and after his hugely successful boxing career.

    Episode 48: Theresa Gattung

    With an “elder sister” management style, Theresa Gattung became the youngest woman to run a large public company when she took over Telecom aged 37. Since stepping back from fulltime corporate work, she’s focused on philanthropy and entrepreneurship - while continuing to spearhead change for women in business. The trailblazer explains how her father’s groundbreaking attitudes shaped her success, says women still face “the motherhood penalty” and reveals the industry she believes is still one big boys’ club.

    Episode 46: Geoff & Justine Ross

    Trailblazing business brains and childhood sweethearts Geoff and Justine Ross sold their premium vodka brand 42 Below to Bacardi for $138 million. Now they've swapped "wine and cheesing" in Auckland for running a 6500-hectare sheep and beef farm in Otago. The self-confessed environmental activists and passionate New Zealanders discuss why they took "the harder road", reaction to their Country Calendar appearance and why regenerative farming is much more than a "hippie crock of shit". Justine's memoir about swapping the city for the high country, Meet You at the Main Divide, is available now. You can read stories supporting this episode on stuff.co.nz. Need more great podcasts?
