In this episode, I sit down with Christopher Luxon, Prime Minister of New Zealand, to dive into his journey from the boardroom to the Beehive and how he aims to lead New Zealand with purpose and conviction. We explore his vision for the country’s future, his strategies for economic growth, and his ambitious plans to transform key areas, including education.
Christopher shares his thoughts on what it takes to lead under fire, how his corporate background influences his political decisions, and why he believes that leadership is all about mission and purpose—whether in business or politics.
And as a special addition, my son Finn joins us at the end for some quick-fire questions with the Prime Minister—revealing a lighter side of leadership!
If you're interested in understanding how business principles can shape political change, or what drives New Zealand’s new Prime Minister, this is the episode for you.

Why We’re Terrible at Decisions (And How to Fix It)
In this episode, I sit down with Dan Ariely, a renowned behavioural economist, to explore the fascinating world of human irrationality and how understanding it can transform our decision-making, motivation, and overall quality of life.
Dan shares powerful insights into the quirks of the human mind, how our outdated "mental tools" affect modern life, and what it really means to design environments that align with our natural tendencies.
In this episode, we discuss:
The concept of human irrationality and why we often make seemingly illogical choices.
How cognitive biases shape our decisions in areas like risk-taking, motivation, and financial behavior.
Why extrinsic motivators like salary aren’t as impactful as feeling valued and connected.
The surprising effects of workplace culture, bureaucracy, and psychological safety on employee engagement and productivity.
Dan’s personal journey of acceptance and resilience, including his unique experience with a “half-beard” and what it taught him about self-acceptance.
This episode is packed with thought-provoking examples and practical insights on navigating life’s complexities by understanding our own cognitive limitations.
If you're curious about leading your life with purpose by working with your mind rather than against it, this is the episode for you.

How to stay calm under fire with former CIA Agent
Rupal Patel, a former CIA operative and now a successful CEO, brings a wealth of experience from one of the world's most intense and high-stakes environments. With her unique background, Rupal has transitioned her skills into the business world, offering invaluable insights on leadership, resilience, and strategic thinking. She is also the author of the book "From CIA to CEO," where she shares unconventional life lessons for thinking bigger, leading better, and being bolder.
In this episode we dive into the world of high-pressure leadership with insights from Rupal. During our conversation, she reveals how the skills and mindset developed in the CIA can be applied to business and personal life. We explore key concepts such as the importance of tactical ignorance—focusing only on the information that truly matters—and the idea of "enlightened swagger," a balance of confidence and humility crucial for effective leadership.
We also discuss the power of resourcefulness, especially in situations with limited resources, and how to train yourself and your team to thrive under pressure. Through personal stories from her time in the CIA, Rupal illustrates how these principles helped her navigate both professional and personal challenges, and how you can apply them to your own leadership journey.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to enhance their decision-making, resilience, and ability to lead effectively in volatile environments.
Don't miss this opportunity to learn from a leader who has been tested in some of the most intense situations imaginable, and discover how you can apply these lessons to your own life and career.
