40. Andrew Knewstubb & Regan Ware

I had such a laugh sitting down with theses NZ 7s lads. Lucky for me, both Stubby and Regan were injury call ups to the Tasman Mako team this year and I got to have a chat with them while they were in Nelson.

We talked about the crazy last couple years these guys have had - from the Commonwealth games, World Cup in America and an Olympic Games campaign.

This is a great look behind the scenes of the NZ 7s team; but it isn’t all serious, there’s also a lot of shit talked along the way. Two absolute lads! And I wish these guys all the best for what’s next in there careers. Thanks for jumping on!

39. Anton Cooper

Anton burst onto the mountain bike scene as a 17 year old kid when he was still in school. Since then he has gone from strength to strength.

Anton has done so much in his 10 year career so far - winning the commonwealth games gold in Glasgow, competing in the Olympics in Tokyo and of course winning races around the world on the UCI world circuit.

This is a great behind the scenes look into what it takes to be one of the best mountain bikers on the planet. I’m looking forward to seeing what’s next for this guy in the future!

Thanks for jumping on Anton!

38. Brook Macdonald

Brooks story of resilience and hard work is incredible. After a massive crash on the world downhill circuit in 2019, Brook fractured his T12 and L1 vertebrae was left unable to use his legs. These are Brooks stories of his recovery.

We also talk about his career so far and some of the ups and downs - leaving NZ as a 17 year old kid to follow his dreams. Over 10 years later he is still living out his dream riding his bike around the world.

One hell of a chat and one hell of a bloke. I appreciate you jumping on Brook!

37. Monty Betham

Most of you will know him as rugby league legend playing for both the Kiwis and the Warriors. But what he has been able to do off the field is pretty impressive too. From footy to business to boxing this guy has been involved in a bit of everything.

Monty made me feel comfortable straight away and we had a great conversation about everything he’s done so far and what’s next for him. An absolute privilege to chat this guy!

Thanks for jumping on Monty

36. Karl Tu'inukuafe

Karl’s journey is a true Cinderella story of New Zealand rugby.

After quiting rugby in high school he never thought he would play again. A few years later he got back into rugby to lose some weight. At this point he had gotten up to 170kg, his weight was starting to become a health issue, and after a couple years of hard work he was an All Black.

This is an awesome yarn about his story to becoming an All Black. And also everything before that that people probably don’t know. A great man with some great stories to tell.

Thanks for jumping on bro!
