A chat show with my peers from New Zealand and across the world, talking about who they are and what they do, why they do it and any lessons learned. These conversations can sometimes be a little confronting, as we deal with loss in a number of the chats. It is important that we have these conversations, particularly as men to show that it is good to talk. I have included a link in the podcasts for you to support the show, 50% of all subscriptions will be given to Orange Sky, a charity that works with the homeless here in New Zealand and in Australia. Here is their website: Orange Sky NZ | Supporting people experiencing homelessness This is a charity that I volunteer my time to and I am keen to support as much as I can. The remaining 50% of subscriptions will be used to support the production of this and other podcasts that I will be creating and publishing into the future. Thanks everyone!
