I met Retimana a couple years back when he came to get some moko done. Over those couple of days. I learnt alot about his journey and his business prowess. One of the most valuable lessons I learnt from him was the power of asking questions and to never be afraid to say you don't know something. This way you get quick tips and answers in order to move forward in your business. Another valuable lesson he taught me was creating great systems and processes so when it comes time to hand off tasks, the people you're handing them off to have a roadmap to follow.

The last month has been a good change. I've recently started an internship at The Hood & Co who are a video production company based in Auckland. I've always wanted to move into film making at some point, and being at The Hood & Co will help me learn the skills necessary to get there.

Here's to the future! =)

I've spent countless hours deliberating over small details of works that didn't need to be deliberated over and it's taught me a good lesson. Prioritise what work needs more effort and time than others. They don't all need the same amount of energy.

I loved this chat with Hannah the other week. This episode was run a little different, this time with my guest Hannah asking questions. This conversation reminded me of my uni days when we would discuss ideas around art, the meaning of it, criticisms of it etc.

Hannah also offers a creative coaching service for artists who are on the journey. Be sure to check her out on all social media: @hanfitz.creates

nga mihi 🙏🏾😊 

I've finally completed Andy Frisella's 75 Hard challenge! I've started this challenge and failed in the past around 5 times and yesterday was the day completed it. I learnt a lot about myself and the forming of habits. I'm a lot further than where I started and am excited for where I will go next. Let's start with phase 1!

In this episode I chat with Tairua about all things God of War, in particular the latest iteration of the franchise which was released on PS4 in April 2018. Tairua and I have been chatting over Instagram message and we decided our mutual love for gaming would make for some good content.

This is just the first episode of what I'm sure will be many more to come.

With the recent news that Taika Waititi will direct and co-write a Star Wars film it's easy to be inspired by this man. What's even more inspiring is the fact that he comes from a small town on the east coast of the north island of Aotearoa.

He's proving time and time again that your start in life doesn't have to determine how far you can go, and that when you do get there you can do it by creating in the way that love to create.

These are just my thoughts and emotions in relation to this awesome news!

For this episode I was lucky enough to be joined by my friend Tia again as well as my sister Baba. This whole episode is dedicated to Black Panther and why we think it's such an important film. From real parallels to cultural influences and implications, to easter eggs and everything in between. Please enjoy. Hau.
