I had a great chat with Teddy about his life and career up to this point.He is currently playing rugby in France. It’s fair to say it wasn’t always perfect for Teddy on the footy field but his commitment and determination is unmatched, and it showed with his selection to the Rio Olympic for the New Zealand 7s team. Off field Teddy started ORA CBD with fellow kiwi Liam Messam. They are working hard to get their CBD around the world and back home so everyone can reap the benefits that CBD has to offer. One of the greats, thanks for jumping on brother!

A great behind the scenes look into how hard he had to work to get to where he is, some of the mental challenges he has faced and his new sportswear brand Iwi Athletica. Enjoy

I recently had a chat with this Blackcaps and Canterbury all rounder. He is another great prospect for the all ready stacked Blackcaps team. We talked how he got into professional cricket, his first test 100 in front of his home crowd and much more. This is an absolute doozy of an episode where you get to learn a lot about Daryl and his career so far. As well as a lot about the blackcaps culture and why they have become such a dominant team in world cricket in the last few years.

I got the chance to sit down and share a couple of beers with a New Zealand rowing legend earlier in the year and what a convosation it was! we talked about how he got into the New Zealand rowing team, some of the brutal training sessions ran by Dick Tonks and of course we talk about some more light hearted subjects like why the hell he got in the ring with Manu Vatuvei for a charity fight night. this is an absolute gem of an episode, where you get to learn about one of the most dominant crews ever seen in rowing. and you also getting a hint as to who might be coming on the podcast very soon….

Awesome to have you on Doug!

Ross Taylors resume speaks for itself 40 international hundreds, over 17,000 internationals runs and the only person so far to play 100 tests 100 ODI's and 100 T20s. Being able to pick the brain of one of the New Zealand's best crickets ever was a pretty amazing experience, we talked about how it all started for Ross right through to where he is at currently and all the highs and lows in between. For Ross to sit down and have a chat with a small time podcaster like me shows what a humble and genuine guy he is. I really enjoyed my chat with him appreciate you jumping on mate.

I had a chat with George while he was in Nelson recently, fortunately for me the game got washed out so George had some spare time on his hands. We chatted about his cricket career so far but what i really enjoyed about this podcast is George's honesty about everything else outside of cricket from Chris Gayles 40th birthday in the Caribbean to even chatting about his modelling career. George is an absolute lad and any fan of cricket will enjoy all the great yarns he has to offer on this podcast. Thanks for jumping on mate!

22. George Worker

Fair to say Kyle burst on to the scene when he had a man of the match performance on ODI debut following that up he made his test debut later that month getting a 5 wicket haul. We chatted about his young career so far, how he changed his game from being a batter to now being more of a bowling all rounder and where his aggressive style comes from. absolute legend of a man with a massive future ahead of him. thanks for jumping on bro!

21. Kyle Jamieson

From a small town on the west coast of the south island to becoming one of New Zealand’s premier rugby referees and now working on his own mental health charity Mike is just a bloody good Kiwi bloke. Mike goes into incredible detail about the highs and lows of his career in the middle and how he would prepare for certain teams and players, it’s a behind the scenes of what it takes to be a top level referee. As well as talking “The Reel Effect” and how he is helping people disconnect from everyday stress through fly fishing. I'm lucky enough to call this guy a mate and he’s doing some awesome work. If you would like to support him and what he’s doing search “The Reel Effect” on Instagram and Facebook.

Leicester has proven himself to be one of the best young talents in New Zealand rugby, but this is no surprise after having to choose between rugby union or rugby league as a 15 year old. In this episode we talk about how he made that tough decision, how long it took him to figure out the game of rugby union, what it was like for him to play for Tasman and what is next for him in his career. A humble young man with a massive future ahead. Thanks for your time mate.

In this episode i sat down and had a chat with former Hurricanes and Mako player James Marshall about his playing career. From where he started at Nelson college to travelling the world playing the game he loves and ending up back in Nelson; back with the Mako.
