S8 E2: Tamara Buckland - Alternative leadership development program
Stuff That Matters Now
This is one of those podcasts where I wanted to learn about something new which is an alternative leadership development program from an innovator who is out there doing it. No theory – rather intuition and guts to do something different. That’s Tamara Buckland to a tee. I hope I did Tamara justice in this episode – and not just enjoy myself.

S7 E13: Rebecca Sutherns - Imagination and Curiosity
Stuff That Matters Now
When Harv was contacted by a fella from Portugal, suggesting he interview a woman from Canada – well it must be Spam. Until he read that the fella from Portugal named Tiago Faria had actually listened to his podcast and rated it highly – not Spam. Then the woman from Canada is real, and the final hook was that Rebecca Sutherns is into using imagination as a tool for helping executives to create better outcomes. And here we are. Last poddy of the year just for you! Harv wanted to learn the difference between Imagination and Curiosity. Find out here!

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".
