Today’s guest is fresh from winning the first New Zealand season of The Traitors (If you haven’t watched it, you absolutely need to - it's on Three Now)!
Anna Reeve is a mother of two beautiful boys, she’s a former model, an influencer and a Global Alopecia Ambassador.
We discuss how she lost all of her hair when she was just seven-years old and how she has navigated through living with Alopecia.
She’s smart, talented and someone I’ve very lucky to call a friend - because fun fact - we were on The Traitors together and basically fell in love!

Reposting one of my favourite chats this week!
I've been hanging out to chat with investigative journalist and documentary maker David Farrier for a while now, so this big long decent yarn, best dissected with a long walk or maybe even a nice drink (or both haha).
From his hilarious TV3 sign off from back in the day, to chasing Mongolian Death Worms, interviewing Colin Craig in the sauna, to now spending a lot of time looking into conspiracy theories - this guy is just so interesting and awesome.
Here's the link to David's Webworm: https://www.webworm.co

Reposting a couple of my faves this week!
Today's guest is quite simply, a national treasure.
Tammy Wells is someone we all feel like we have a connection with, she is pretty much part of our furniture...and of course the Briscoes furniture too.
Tammy is the woman who, with a big warm smile, delights us with that welcome news that Briscoes is indeed having a sale.
She's been the Briscoes Lady for a remarkable 32 years - and still loves every minute of it.
Oh how delightful this yarn is!

Today’s guest is one of our talented radio broadcasters, and even though he’s still super young it feels like he’s been around the industry for years!
Clint Roberts' success has a lot to do with his glorious-natured personality - plus he's a great champion of women in the industry.
He’s also an extremely proud dad of two beautiful daughters - and recently launched a parenting podcast with another super cool dad - How to Dad (Jordan Watson) - called The Parenting Hangover.
Some truly great yarns in here with a great mate!

Today’s guest was New Zealand's first Bachelor.
Back in 2015, Art Green was thrust into the spotlight, where he spent a good chunk of time on television without his shirt on, he got to pash a whole bunch of lovely ladies and got called super cliché things like a “heart throb”. And then, he fell in love on the show with Matilda, he picked her and it really was the start of something special.
Now Art and Matilda are happily married, living a delightful life in Warkworth with their third child on the way. He now HOSTS the Bachelor/Bachelorette, he’s a really awesome advocate in the health and fitness space (the good side of it too may I add), and he really loves gardening, and cooking massive bits of meat on the barbecue.
He is also - as I discovered - a former Guinness World Record Holder!

Today’s guest is the international best-selling author and award-winning property investor and property coach, Nichole Lewis.
Nichole is the CEO of the Property Lifestyle which she describes as her “dream job”. As we’ll hear, she's had an extremely interesting life and really challenging career - including coming painstakingly close to bankruptcy - pretty much losing everything around the Global Financial Crisis.
She bounced back, having to start all over again, and now spends a good chunk of her time sharing that knowledge and learnings with others. A really eye-opening listen!

Today’s guest is one of the nicest guys in the music business. And when I say nice, I mean cool, kick-arse, bad-arse, delightful, ridiculously talented and extremely down to earth - all at the same time!
All those things have led Mitch James to where he is today - he's just absolutely smashed out his first-ever headline world tour - performing 50 shows across 15 countries - unreal.
Such a fascinating chat with a wonderful young man!

Today’s guest is a wonderful woman I’ve had the pleasure of knowing for the past three years. During that time Kelly Hutton - one of the OG Canterbury Flames netballers - has been living with stage three Ovarian Cancer. She’s beaten it twice - but was told at the start of August that she’s got just weeks to live.
Kelly and I first met when she won a charity auction helicopter skydive with me, and we have kept in touch ever since. She has a passion for living life and really has pulled the middle finger at her cancer. Since diagnosed she's done half marathons, jumped out of helicopters, walked some of our beautiful walks and got a good chunk of the way through cycling across Aotearoa before she got sick again.
Now, she really is out of time, and this may very well be the last time I speak to her. We were messaging and she asked if I was open to doing a Kiwi “end of” Yarn - she said we Kiwis don’t tend to talk that much about the end of life and “this sort of shit enough”, so could we hit one final spot together and change a bit of the world.
We'll miss you Kel, but we are so lucky to have had you in our world.

Today’s guest is the co-captain of the 21-strong New Zealand Invictus Games team heading to Germany next month.
Staff Sergeant Bob Pearce is a former Intelligence Operator with both the British Army and New Zealand Army.
You'll hear how Bob is looking ahead to the Invictus Games to open a new chapter - 20 years after his good friend was killed in a blue on blue incident in Iraq by US Forces.
It's a pretty raw and open chat about dealing with PTSD - but Bob speaks so beautifully and you might need some tissues.
A warning - we will be discussing mental health and suicide.

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.

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.
She’s funny, she’s really cool and possibly her only fault is her dicky knees…
And, she lets us in on a massive announcement!

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.

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 discussion series in Aotearoa celebrating women in sport, business, culture, and society.

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!

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 this story.

Today’s guest is one of the best rugby players in the world.
Portia Woodman-Wickliffe holds the record for most tries scored at Rugby World Cups - men and women.
She has won two Rugby World Cups in the 15-a-side team.
She’s an Olympic Gold medalist for the Sevens.
In 2022, she scored her 200th try on the World Sevens Series, a history-making feat.
And that's just scratching the surface - what about the fact she was a boss Netballer too???
A great chat with a wonderfully inspirational woman.

Boy oh boy I’m excited for today’s episode. Joining me in the Brodie Kane Media studio is Somatic Sexologist, Pleasure Advocate, Sex Educator and host of the podcast Sex.Life - Morgan Penn.
I'm lucky enough to call Morgan a friend, and she recently took a group of us out on what we called "Flirt School". She’s been on The Girls Uninterrupted podcast sharing her amazing knowledge, and she is SUCH a wealth of wonderfulness - I really wanted another kōrero with her so what better than on Kiwi Yarns.
I have no doubt you'll feel Morgan's amazing energy by listening!

Today’s guest is a hilariously brilliant young Kiwi carving out a career for herself across the ditch.
Luisa Dal Din has been a radio producer here in Aotearoa and over in Australia, most recently for Fitzy and Wippa. But Lu always had dreams of having her own show.
And recently she made the brave and awesome decision to go out on her own. She now co-hosts the very successful We Mean Well Podcast, and is bloody funny on Instagram and TikTok, because she relentlessly takes the piss out of herself, and is still good at navigating what you’re allowed to take the piss out of in general too!

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 story today.
