S7 E10: Tim O'Connor - CQ Alumni & mate
Stuff That Matters Now
What a treat to catch up with a mate and CQ Alumni Tim O’Connor at Auckland Grammar recently. Tim was one of the biggest influences in our evolution at Collective Intelligence, opening the door to more and more people from other industries and backgrounds – not just business focussed. If you are a parent, this is worth a listen.

S7 E8: Stu Pearce - Why inclusion is important, even in the armed forces.
Stuff That Matters Now
Why would inclusion matter in the world of the armed forces. That’s what I wanted to dig into with Stu Pearce, Director of People and Culture at Royal New Zealand Air Force. And we did. Plus, we covered the world of body building as a bonus. This was a joy for me looking into two worlds I know so little about! *Disclaimer from Stu Pearce: "The views and opinions expressed are my own and don’t necessarily represent those of the NZDF".

S7 E4: Kevin Whitmore - Introducing Cashbucket
Stuff That Matters Now
Staying ahead of cashflow demands on a growing business is becoming more and more difficult. Growth can destroy a business. Multiple surprises can make bank managers edgy, and CEO’s lose sleep.

S7 E3: Dr Paul Vanderbroeck - What we can learn from history & leadership.
Stuff That Matters Now
I never thought about the unintended benefits of writing a book – of which there have been many. One of these has been introduced to Book reviewers across the globe by my wonderful editor Bob Seldon. Dr Paul Vanderbroeck is one such person who wrote a very generous review of ‘As It Turns Out – No One’s Got Their Shit Together’, which then sparked a conversation about his work as a leadership coach in Europe. Paul is based in Switzerland and so we needed to coordinate our timing for this podcast, where I was intrigued to learn about his own book ‘Lead Like Julius Caesar’ and the...

Sitting down with Haylee Putaranui to record this podcast, was like stepping into the future of Aotearoa NZ’s commercial world where Māori are resourced and a force for good. A world where we can focus on co creating an inclusive world with Pakeha and Māori walking together.

Originally from Sydney, Catherine came from a background working in the family business in the fast fashion industry, and now works with young women in agriculture. She co-founded 'Girls who Grow' in Aotearoa NZ, and this was always going to be a fun conversation.
