Tim OâConnor is the long-standing headmaster of Auckland Grammar School.
When he started the job in 2012 he became only the 11th headmaster at Grammar in the schools 156 year history.
In this conversation, Tim shares the highs and lows of his 13-years at Grammar. And his 10 years as the head of my old school, PNBHS, before that.
This podcast offers a rare behind-the-scenes look at the culture, discipline, and deep traditions that define Auckland Grammar.
We talk about everything from navigating risky behaviors and toxic masculinity to fostering mental resilience and identity in teenage boys.
Tim opens about his own path through education, the mentors who shaped him, and the leadership lessons he picked up at Harvard that now guide his everyday decision-making.
This is more than a conversation about a school. Itâs a masterclass in leadership, vulnerability, and the future of education in a digital world.
Itâs hard to think of many people who have done as much for young men in New Zealand in this century as what Tim OâConnor has done.
I enjoyed my time with Tim, and I think you will too.

In the history of rugby in New Zealand there have been a total of 1,223 All Blacks. Of that elite group, a much smaller number go on to be known as All Black legends.
GRANT FOX most definitely has legend status- he is a genuine New Zealand rugby icon.
He wore the number 10 jersey and is considered one of the greatest goal kickers of all time.
He was part of the team that won the first ever Rugby World Cup in 1987.
When he retired as a player, his involvement with the sport continued in the roles of coach, broadcaster and All Black selector.
(He is also the dad to one of the worldâs top golfers).
In this brutally honest and wide-ranging conversation, the man known as âFoxyâ opens-up like never before.
We talk vulnerability, regret, fatherhood, legacy, and walking away from the game that defined him.
Some of the topics include
Life after the All BlacksThe emotional cost of coachingWhat it means to be a good dad and husbandWatching Ryan Fox make his own nameThe real reason he walked away from rugby***

When it comes to true crime podcasting in New Zealand, Ryan Wolf is in a league of his own.
Even if you've never pressed play on his gripping podcast Guilt, you've probably heard about it in the news: this is the series thatâs led NZ Police to re-examine their own investigations on major cases.
And the wildest part? Ryan is completely self-taught. No big media company behind him, no big studio.
Just a husband and dad of 2 kids under 5 who is producing world-class content from a spare room in his house.
In this episode, we unpack how this trained lawyer, former Shortland Street actor and part-time house flipper accidentally became one of Aotearoaâs most important storytellers.
We chat about his non negotiables: like support of the victimsâ families and the importance of prioritizing truth and making a difference over entertainment.
If you're already a Guilt fan, this is a must-listen.
If youâre not, chances are, by the end of this, you will want to give it a listen.
Or at the very least, youâll be introduced to an inspiring guy who is doing incredible work.

Dr. Ben O'Keeffe is one of the best rugby referees in the worldâand he's also a fully qualified doctor, specializing in ophthalmology.
This episode first dropped in 2023, shortly after Ben made headlines for the intense backlash (including death threats) he received after officiating the Super Rugby Final between the Crusaders and the Chiefs. Since the Super Rugby 2025 final is again between these two fierce rivals, I thought I'd re-release the episode ICYMI the first time
round.
In this conversation, we unpack Benâs unique double life as a top-level rugby referee and an eye surgeon.
We talk about his journey through medicine, his passion for the game, and how he deals with pressure, criticism, and the spotlight that comes with both careers.
I originally invited Ben on the podcast after his honest Instagram post went viralâcalling out some of the horrific messages he received post-match. But beyond the drama, he's just a bloody inspiring Kiwi, doing incredible things with humility and focus.
If you missed this episode the first time around, nowâs the perfect time to catch up.

In 2011, 22 year old Troy Hall was young, fit, and working hard to turn his life around after years of addiction and violence.
Then, on a rainy day in Tauranga, everything changed: A freak accident involving overhead power lines left him clinically dead, twice.
What followed was months in hospital, countless surgeries, extreme burns, the loss of body parts, and a long road through depression, trauma, and recovery.
In this emotional and brutally honest chat, Troy opens up about his old life in gang culture, his near-death experience, and the grueling mental and physical recovery that followed.
He talks candidly about suicidal thoughts, fatherhood, body image, self-worth, and how itâs taken him over a decade to finally feel proud of himself.
I feel like the words ârawâ and âpowerfulâ get a bit overused in the podcast space these days. But this conversation is most definitely those things.
Troy's story is one of resilience, perspective, healing, and the power of surrounding yourself with the right people.
If youâve ever struggled with feeling stuck, hopeless, or not good enoughâthis episode is for you.

I thought Iâd re-share the episode in case you missed it when it first came out two years, because Ryan is playing the best golf of his career in 2025.

+ What it feels like to win $1.1 million dollars in a week, and how much of that he must pay out to his team.
+ Life growing up as the son of Grant Fox â one of the greatest all blacks ever.
+ What lessons he got from Steve Hansen about dealing with adversity when he was going through a bad patch.
+ His friendship with the late Shane Warne and much more.

Cam Webster was part of the Team NZ crew who won the Americas Cup in Barcelona in 2024.
What made this moment of sporting success even more significant for Cam was the journey he took to get there.
Before joining Team NZ, Cam spent 15 years dedicating his life to rowing. He even endured the devastation of missing out on the Olympics, twice, and watching on TV has his mates went on to win gold medals.
In June 2022 Cam retired from rowing. Then in December that year he trialed for Team NZ and the rest is history.
This is part of the Cam Webster story. It is his first ever podcast and it is an absolute honor that its here with me.
Some of the stuff we talk about include:
+ The frustrations of trying your absolute best and it not being quite good enough.
+ Being told, after years of grinding, that you werenât quite good enough to go to the Olympics. Then watching your best friends and former teammates go on to win a gold medal.
+ Adapting to life after rowing and how that drastic life shift looked.
+ Then the Team New Zealand stuff from the grueling trials right up to winning the Americas Cup.
Cam Webster is a hard-working guy with a great attitude. His story is a reminder that sometimes your best is not good enough.
This is also a masterclass in positivity, adversity, resilience and bouncing back from disappointment. So many cool gems and takeaways in this conversation.

Honey Hireme-Smiler is one of the greatest rugby players New Zealand has ever produced, across both league and union.
But Honey Hireme-Smiler is so much more than just a sporting legend.
Sheâs a mum, a trailblazer, a role-model, a commentator, a mentor, and an unapologetic force for good.
This is a small part of the Honey Hireme-Smiler story:
+Stories about her most memorable playing moments. Including playing both league and rugby for New Zealand in two different countries in the space of a week
+The bitter disappointment of not being selected to go to the Olympics then watching the games on TV when her teammates won silver.
+Her journey from self-described town bully to head girl during her high school years.
+Her reflections on nursing her mum during her brief battle with cancer.
There's also lots of fun, light moments too- including a very awkward story about meeting Prince Harry at Buckingham palace!
Honey is the real deal. She was a savage on the field. But off the field she is softly spoken, intelligent, articulate, kind, loyal and hilarious. This was the first time we met, and I felt like she was an old friend.

Dave Wood is a high-performance coach.
He hosts workshops at West Aucklandâs Piha Beach called Calm Under Pressure which combine mental and physical challenges- clients (including UFC stars, Team NZ champions and Olympic athletes) often describe these workshops as life changing.
Dave Wood has done a lot, seen a lot and learned a lot.
I genuinely believe if you are listening to this episode in the right frame of mind- ready to learn and open to some new ways of thinking, this podcast conversation could be transformational.
Itâs a podcast of two halves. The first half is stuff we can all draw from around mental skill development and personal growth.
The second half is all about Dave and who he is: a kid who struggled with learning who became the youngest surf lifesaving captain in New Zealand before going on some INSANE travel adventures before becoming an emergency paramedic.
After listening to this, if you are keen to attend one of Daveâs Calm Under Pressure workshops, you will get 20% OFF if you book BEFORE June 7 2025
