Hey team, welcome to the latest episode of Accidental Business Owners.

The premise of the show is that last year Seamus and I became fulltime business owners. We left our 9-5s to go all in on the podcast - and the other businesses we built off the back of it – and thought it would be interesting to document our journey.

Last year we also started working with a business and mindset coach Di Foster, who you might remember as a B2B guest, and quickly realized she was the perfect foil to help us work through all the highs and lows of running a business.

In this episode, business coach Di Foster doesn’t hold back — grilling Steve on what it actually means to lead a business.

From setting proper targets, stepping fully into the CEO role, and owning the hard calls — Di pushes Steve to get clear on what’s working… and what isn’t.

It’s honest, uncomfortable, and full of lessons for anyone building something of their own.

Hope you enjoy.

This week on Between Two Beers we talk to Duncan Sandlant

Duncan is widely regarded as the leading agent in world rugby for coaches - at one point he represented two thirds of the best rugby coaches in the world.

He's been shortlisted by Rugby World as one of the 50 most influential people in the game on three occasions and is the only agent to have ever appeared on the list.

He's a Kiwi, who started out as a lawyer before starting a rugby agency from his attic in London 20 years ago, and he built that up to create the largest player rugby agency in the world (Esportif) with offices in 13 different countries before they were acquired by Wasserman 2 years ago.

Duncan has represented everyone from Sonny Bill to Tana Umaga, Jerry Collins and Andrew Mehrtens, to Dave Rennie, Stephen Jones, Gregor Townsend - and pretty much everyone in between.

This is insight into the behind the scenes world of rugby wheeling and dealing that you haven't heard before. Duncan has operated out of the shadows for most of his professional life - and this was a really cool and rare chance, to let you in to his world.

You'll love this one.

Dr Jo Brown is a low key legend, a Kiwi who has reached the top of her field on the global stage.

She has been the physiotherapist and performance coach for some of the biggest sports names on the planet, including Noah Lyles, Yohan Blake and Megan Tapper, NBA players, Professional football players, Australian Olympic teams and even the Jamaican bobsled team (Cool Runnings 2).

One thing that was consistent with the track n field stars she worked with is that Jo was the last person everyone wanted to see before they went out on track. She has this gift, where she holds space, has their back and instills belief in people.

In this episode we talk about being 'more than a physio', self awareness, the truth about high performance athletes, working with Noah Lyles and Jamaica's best sprinters and tall poppy syndrome in NZ.

Dr. Jo also tragically lost her sister a few years ago when she was trying to save her children at a beach in Hawkes Bay. The children survived, but jo's sister, Amy, tragically drowned and we address how she got through her most difficult moments.

She recently released the book "See Your Elephant". It goes deep into the blind spots, limiting beliefs and handbrakes that hold people back in life.

We're also super stoked to have Dr. Jo on the books of B2B Speakers, so if you’d like her to share her story at your function or event, flick us a message by going to B2Bspeakers.co.nz.

In this episode we talk about being overwhelmed, why its ok, how we can manage it better, and why we can't always be in control.

Hope you enjoy.

Neil Wagner is one of New Zealand cricket’s best red ball bowlers of all time.

Only Sir Richard Hadlee has a better strike rate in tests among New Zealanders who have taken more than 100 wickets.

Wagner has relentlessly thumped his right boot into creases around the country for almost 17 years, having arrived from South Africa in 2008 and in this one we unpack his incredible journey.

We talk about why his break never came in South Africa, why he moved to NZ, how he developed his unorthodox style, bowling through broken toes, the world test champion final, the influence of Brendon McCullum and the best players he played against, his difficult retirement and all the best stories in between.

Neil also opens up about the mental pressure around imposter syndrome and identity which led to a sliding doors moment at a hotel in Sri Lanka.

Neil has one hell of a story to share, and we loved sitting down with him for this one.

Ali was one of NZ’s most high profile broadcasters and journalists for more than two decades and worked for One News, Breakfast, Fair Go, Seven Sharp, Radio Live, Close up and many more.

In this episode we talk about her rise to the top of NZ Media and all of the twists and turns along the way, getting made redundant five times and how she kept bouncing back, why her relationships became front page news of every media outlet, working with Paul Holmes, Mike Hosking, Paul Henry and Willie Jackson, leading the charge on NZ's MeToo movement - and what she’s doing now.

We also talk in detail about her new book No Words for This, where she talks for the first time about the monster that haunted her childhood. As young girls, Ali and her sister were sexually abused by their father on multiple occasions, and it’s revealed in the book that he also repeatedly raped his grandson. It’s a shocking, and confronting story that is told with the hope of helping others.

Ali's story is complex and powerful and she does such a great job of articulating it. And she is brilliant company, warm fun and engaging.

And a content warning: This episode deals with sexual abuse and may not be suitable for all listeners.

Hey team, welcome to the latest episode of Accidental Business Owners.

This is a show we ran last year on our Business channel – and this year we’re bringing it into our main feed.

The premise of the show is that last year Seamus and I became fulltime business owners. We left our 9-5s to go all in on the podcast – and thought it would be interesting to document our journey.

Last year we also started working with a business and mindset coach Di Foster, who you might remember as a B2B guest, and quickly realized she was the perfect foil to help us work through all the highs and lows of running a business.

In this episode it’s a 1 v 1, just Steve and Di, where they discuss money mindset and the big difference between running a business and being an employee. 

Hope you enjoy.

Steve Williams is the greatest golf caddie of all time.

He's best known for his partnership with Tiger Woods where they won 13 majors together across 12 years.

But what's perhaps less well known, is his path to working Tigers bag.

In this episode we talk about being a 2 handicap at the age of 10, becoming Greg Norman's caddie at 17 and the remarkable career path of one of New Zealand's most successful sportspeople.

And of course, there's a whole lot of chat about Tiger and their remarkable relationship. For 10 years, after their professional relationship ended, Steve and Tiger didn't talk.

But they do now, and Steve is releasing a book 'Together We Roared' which documents in great detail - all their greatest hits and we cover some the best ones in this episode!

This was such an eye opening look into the world of an elite golf caddie who has had access to some of the greatest athletes in the world.
