Jimi Hunt is a mental health change-maker with a penchant for raising awareness for mental health issues by doing things like riding a lilo 425km down the Waikato river, or building the world’s longest waterslide. He is the founder of mental health charity Live More Awesome, and his mission to improve mental health outcomes has seen him publish three books including his latest, called Inside Out: The ultimate guide to becoming a better human. Jimi was a New Zealander of the Year finalist in 2014, and holds the Guinness World Record for his aforementioned world’s longest waterslide.

She went on to star in numerous film, stage and television productions including Outrageous Fortune, Neighbours, Legend of the Seeker, The Jaquie Brown Diaries, and most recently, Fresh Eggs.

After a career in marketing for many of the world’s biggest food companies including Cadbury, Fonterra and PepsiCo, Lisa King founded Eat My Lunch with her friend, the esteemed chef Michael Meredith.
