Tony Astle and his wife Beth opened a fine dining restaurant in Parnell, Auckland in 1972 called Antoines.
It remained one of New Zealand’s most iconic restaurants for almost 50 years until 2021 when Tony shut the doors for the last time after Beth became sick.
Unfortunately, in a shot time frame he lost the two great loves of his life.
This conversation is part of the Tony Astle and Antoines story. If you love this and want to learn more about Tony and the incredible business him and Beth created, buy his book “Let them eat tripe.”
In this conversation, we discuss his relationship with Beth and navigating such a huge loss.
The best and worst celebrity customers including Elton John, Rod Stewart, Phil Collins and Freddie Mercury who were big fans of Antoines. And why Kim Dotcom was banned for life.
Tony’s mid-life eating disorder. His incredible work ethic. The craziest excesses of the 1980s and so much more.
This is the story of a trailblazing cocky entrepreneur who had a huge impact on the hospitality and dining scenes in New Zealand.

For the past six years Jason Paris has been the CEO of One NZ (formerly Vodafone).
I’ve followed Jason on Linkdn for years so thought he would be a great podcast guest to deconstruct his professional and personal success and try to understand what makes him tick.
This is a small part of the Jason Paris story.
His upbringing in Southland, being raised by a solo mum after being deserted by his father. And the siblings he recently discovered at a tangi.
His career greatest hits…and misses including a balls up he made at McDonalds that meant over 1 million tray mats had to be thrown out.
We discuss his leadership style, personal growth, and valuable life lessons learned along the way.
His involvement with the new Christchurch stadium, Elon Musk and the Starlink partnership, why he recently banned a customer for life, THAT tweet he wrote about the NRL bunker ref after a couple of wines and much more!
.
I loved spending this time with Jason. He is an incredibly inspiring and motivating guy to be around with great energy. I hope you guys like it to.

Garth Barfoot is 88 years old and, a few weeks ago, was the oldest finisher in the 2024 New York marathon.
This is his second time on the podcast- last time he came on was in 2022 when he was just on his way to London for the marathon.
What makes Garths story even more inspiring is he was a late bloomer- did not even start running until his early 50s.
In this conversation with this truly great New Zealander we talk about his whole recent New York experience.
We go back for a look at his childhood and what it was like being a kid in NZ during the second world war.
We chat about his career in real estate at the firm his dad established- Barfoot and Thompson.
He shares some valuable life lessons, including the importance of staying positive, adapting to modern technology and the keys to a fulfilling retirement and his aspirations he holds for the future, particularly in relation to his passion for marathons.
Garth is the man. He inspires me and gives me a glimpse into just how awesome life can look in your 80s if you stay fit and healthy (and have a little bit if luck). Hope you guys like this one.

Bree Tomasel is an Australian who moved to New Zealand after being head hunted for a job on the radio and, despite the challenges of being in New Zealand with a fairly robust Aussie accent, she has won the nation over in a big way!
Her afternoon radio show on ZM with Clint Roberts consistently kicks ass.
She is the host of Celebrity Treasure Island. And she even won the award for “NZ TV personality of the year” in 2022.
Now she has a book out - “Unapologetically me.”
In this conversation, we chat about some of the crunchy chapters of her book and life:
Her sexuality, the knife attack as a kid that changed the course of her entire life, why she fell in love with radio, her social media fame, the move to NZ and much, much more.
I adored Bree before doing this podcast- now I love her even more. We are so lucky to have her here in New Zealand.

The Stefan Ozich podcast.
We recorded this podcast in late September 2024, just days before Stefan embarked on a daunting running and fundraising attempt:
His plan is to run the length of NZ on the Te Araroa trail. Twice. From Cape Reinga to Bluff and back again covering 6000km.
His fundraising goal is one million dollars.
At the time of releasing this podcast (November 2024) Stefan is halfway through the run and has raised over $100,000 for the men’s mental health charity, the Last Chance Project.
We unpack Stefan's personal experiences with loss, particularly the suicide of his brother, and how this tragedy has shaped his mission to help others.
This is part of the Stefan Ozrich story.

Tom Sainsbury is a comedian, actor, writer, director, podcaster. And these are just a few of the many hats he wears.
I’ve been a fan of Tom’s social media videos for ages, so this was an honor to get to sit down and learn a bit more about the man behind the hundreds of characters he has bought to life.
We spent the first 20 minutes talking about the inner workings of his social media sketches where he is the master of observation. He has a massive talent for mimicking the mannerisms of New Zealanders.
We discuss his upbringing in rural Waikato and how being a farm kid steered him towards becoming a vegan.
His sexuality. Why he is 75% gay and why he didn’t come out to his parents until he was 28.
His journey as a sperm donor for a lesbian couple and his role as a biological parent.
His awkward encounter with Katy Perry in Las Vegas
The huge lie he told to land his first ever acting job.
Why he practices Buddhism and much more.
I get the feeling Tom is possibly more comfortable observing and channeling others than revealing too much of himself, so this was a real treat.
I loved it and I hope you do as well.

What can I tell you about Dai Henwood?
There's the stuff that you may already know- he is funny, talented, successful and popular. Everyone loves Dai.
Then there’s the stuff you may not know- he is one of the kindest people you could ever meet, generous, caring, resilient, strong, brave, intelligent, introspective, thoughtful....
He was diagnosed with incurable cancer in 2020.
He went public with the news in 2022.
And since then, he has somehow managed to coexist with this hideous disease and adjust to his new normal.
This year alone, amongst other work commitments, while undergoing grueling treatment, he has written a book and made an incredible 3-part documentary about his cancer journey. We recorded this chat around the same time this documentary came out, so we do chat about that at length.
If you missed it, you can watch it on demand on ThreeNow: https://www.threenow.co.nz/shows/live-and-let-dai/1725307694444
Dai was a guest on the podcast last year. This episode is an update on the life of Dai.

This episode has been brought to you by the legends at the Generate KiwiSaver Scheme.

Generate pride themselves on giving great KiwiSaver advice – something they’ve won awards for.
When they signed on as a podcast sponsor over a year ago, I met with one of their advisors to talk through my KiwiSaver goals and objectives so I can personally swear by it.
Getting some good advice now can help you get your future sorted.

Margo and Rosa Flannagan are Two Raw Sisters.
These two South Island siblings have carved a niche for themselves as New Zealand’s go-to when it comes to plant-based meals.
These girls are such fun company: they are driven and successful. And open books. So, I jumped at the chance to have them back on my podcast.
On top of recently starting their own podcast and releasing an app, they have also put out their FIFTH recipe book- More Salad.
This is an update into the lives of Rosa and Margo:
Marriage, pregnancy, a move to Melbourne and even a peep show in Amsterdam.
We also go back and explore the early years-why they hated each other as teens and how they healed severe health issues using food as medicine.
The aesthetic of their books and brand are beautiful and perfect. But their lives, like all of us, are imperfect.
This is part of the Two Raw Sisters story.

Mark Graham is the greatest NZ rugby league player of all time!
The G.O.A.T acronym gets thrown round a lot these days but the man known as "Sharko" IS the real deal:
He was named NZ rugby league player of the century.
He’s the first Kiwi inducted into the NRL Hall of Fame.
18 tests for the Kiwis as captain and Warriors coach for 2 seasons.
And he did all this playing in an era when rugby league was so brutal he broke almost every bone in his body.
Now this humble Kiwi legend has a documentary all about his life and career made by his son, Luke. It’s called Sharko- look out for it. I’ve seen it twice and I love it.
This podcast is a small part of the Mark Graham story.

Thanks so much to my show sponsors, the Generate KiwiSaver scheme who have been supporting the show for over a year now.
If you have a KiwiSaver and it is not with Generate you should consider switching over. There is a reason these guys win so many awards.
“Set it and forget it” is the strategy that most kiwis adopt when it comes to their KiwiSaver. And that is NOT a good plan- You could miss out on extra money simply by choosing the wrong fund for your age and stage of life.
Generate pride themselves on giving great KiwiSaver advice. I have experienced it first hand and, I know I’m supposed to say nice things about them, but it genuinely was helpful, informative, quick and easy.
Getting some good advice now can help you get your future sorted.

Sonya Williams is an absolute powerhouse businesswoman who has played a big part in how Kiwis invest- her and a group of friends started a company called Sharesies in 2016. Fast forward 7 years and...
700,000 Kiwis and Aussies now call themselves customers, including 40,000 children.
Sharesies employs 230 people
The company is valued at $500 million
And Sonya and the Sharesies team are just getting started!
This is a small part of the Sonya Williams story.
We talk in depth about Sharesies: the past present and future. As well as lots of other stuff:
The impact of her dad’s brain injury when she was 16.
Why she wore her mum’s clothes to her first job interview
Why she is fiercely defensive of her hometown, Levin.
Why the first year of being a mum was so much more challenging that the first year of starting up a business.
And so much more from a woman who has helped turn a simple idea into a groundbreaking business venture.
This conversation was both easy and challenging- easy because we are family. But challenging because Sonya is so humble and unassuming- she has achieved so much, but definitely isn’t one to sing her own praises…or take compliments from podcasting cousins!

Sir John Key was the Prime Minister of NZ from 2008 until he stood down towards the end of his third term in 2016.
These days he spends his time on various boards. And when he isn’t flying in his helicopter, you’ll find him on a golf course or with his wife Bronagh.
Sir John came into the brand new Podlab studios and was generous enough to give me two hours of his time to cover a wide range of topics including:
His relationship with Christopher Luxon
His thoughts on Trump and American politics
His reflections on running NZ during the Christchurch earthquakes
Holidaying with the Queen, the infamous three-way handshake and other gaffes, regrets from his time as PM and so much more!

Lucy Spoors and Brooke Francis are rowers who won gold medals at the Paris Olympics in the women's double scull.
What made this achievement even more remarkable is the back story- they won silver at the Tokyo Olympics then took time off from sport to start their families.
Lucy had a baby boy. Brooke had a baby girl.
In this podcast you will hear first-hand how these Supremum’s overcame sleep deprivation, societal expectations, and the demands of high-performance rowing to win Olympic Gold with an incredible skin-of-the-teeth victory in Paris.

This is Justin Marshall part 2
Justin Marshall is one of the most polarizing rugby players and commentators of all time. People either love him or loathe him- after meeting him for this very lengthy conversation, I am definitely in the first camp. Me oh my I enjoyed it yes boy
Justin played 81 games for the All Blacks between 1995 and 2005. And won 5 Super Rugby titles for the Crusaders
Since retiring he has become a very successful commentator for Sky Sports. And is now on a podcast called The Good, the bad and the rugby NZ.
Heaps of All Black nostalgia here including his feud with Byron Kelleher, his transition from player to commentator and how he copes with criticism, the origins of his viral saying “Me oh my yes boy” and so much more.
(By the way, I would love your feedback on splitting a long episode too. Let me know if it’s helpful or annoying:

Because this is the longest podcast I’ve ever done, at almost 3 hours, I decided to split it into two parts.
This is Justin Marshall part 1: We talk about his early years in Southland, including going off the rails as a teen resulting in run-ins with the police. His early jobs at the freezing works before rugby turned professional, his competitiveness, his temper and much more.
