Marie-Claire Andrews for a long time ran the event app start-up Show Gizmodo, and with a life change out to the Wairarapa she keeps connected to the industry via various international event groups. Being out in Carterton however she looked for a co-working space, couldn't find one, talked to the local mayor at a BBQ, and we now have 3Mile :)

Marie-Claire is bursting with enthusiasm for the region, the community, and most of all the possibilities that the Wairarapa and all NZ regions have over and above the main centres - what are they, listen in ...

Brough Johnson, co-founder of Narrative Muse, and a person that is happy bringing together and community is very important to her.

Coming from the TV and film industries for a number of years Brough she discovered that yes there is the content out there for LGBTQ+ audiences but it was harder to find than the mainstream and so from a review site to a full recommendation service Narrative Muse serves this community.

Ever asked, “How do I ensure we have a diverse company?”, well Brough has a very simple step YOU can take … listen for the details.

John Hart, otherwise known as FarmGeek, has had a life in tech for a number of years however with a change of lifestyle to become a farmer he has now combined tech and a rural viewpoint to take on introducing tech to the community and how New Zealand needs to be more than sheep.

Recently Raj and Mike were invited to "Hemp & Crickets - Oh My!" at which John and the Breadcraft team showed off, "sustainable food using alternative sources of protein - the way of the future" using crickets. And that's now John's job - growing crickets by the many many many thousands.

Paul Brislen is a well known voice on 'lesser radio', TV, media, and all over the webs with his commentary on the New Zealand tech industry alongside a deep understanding of the telecommunications field.

Some fascinating truth about 5G, the Russian fake news, how in-building 5G needs help ... oh, and those extra darned 5G radio waves will NOT give you cancer, sheesh!

Paul and Viv cover the latest tech trends, how data has become key but then ugh use of our personal information, taxing the tech multinationals, social media disrupting MSM, Herald's paywall and supporting journalism on the web, and critical thinking.

AND, a brief chat about Paul's work with The Aunties - get involved, donate your unwanted hardware, and support the kids and their families.

On a recent Wairarapa road trip Mike and Raj caught up with John Hart and Tamara Olliver at the current location of the Masterton Fab Lab, a space for them to, "equip our whole community with 21st century skills so we can all participate in the world of making with technology!"

John and Tamara explained the Fab Lab's mission, successes, current home, and their future!
We are left wondering WHY AREN'T THERE MORE IN NEW ZEALAND - you will to!

Whilst Whare Hauora has been around for 2+ years we only joined them on their journey 1 year ago ... but SO MUCH has happened in the intervening 12 months that we thought we'd have a wee celebration (coffee and tea all round, thanks Dom) and a review of how far Hiria and the ever growing Whare Hauora has come ...

Looking after the team is spoken much on our podcast but we've yet to have had such a focused discussion on what that means day-to-day as we had with Nathan Donaldson (CEO) and Rebecca Jones (Agile Coach) from Boost.

We cover a bit of background, especially how Rebecca made the move from hospitality to Agile Coach, before diving into how to support, grow, and love the teams within your organisation. We even talk about what the means for salary increases using Boosts medieval 'grading' approach - so so cool.

You WILL learn loads you can apply from these two!
(or get along to their free Agile sessions - Wellington based)
