As an indigenous business that serves indigenous people we get a lot of whānau who ask questions around the current environment.

Here is one of the podcasts with some interesting questions:

We get questions like – What do you think about the government axing the Māori Health Authority?

By serving indigenous are you not creating division?

And many more – so have a listen. We ensure that every answer we provide aligns with our values and more importantly with the assumption that the questions are asked with positive intent.

The wānanga podcasts are longer kōrero or discussions around main themes within Indigenous Growth. Which delves into bigger reasons on why we do what we do.

What would financial freedom look like for you? 

The most nervous Michael has felt about sharing a podcast – he didn’t start from the bottom but started from below the bottom financially (debt, evictions, poor mindset, ill health and intergenerational poverty – financially but rich in family). At 35 he is happily married, 3 healthy Tamariki (children) owns his first home on a lifestyle block, runs a profitable business, property, investments, earning in the top 1% of the country and almost at the stage of financially freedom as he is building intergenerational wealth. He shares this because he’s sick of being the exception and wants to show that once you see it’s so simple you won’t get caught up in the hype and magic. What makes magic so amazing is that it so stupid that you can’t fathom how they did it? He shares his tips, and his kōrero which is not to boast but to give insight and show that we are made to thrive, not barely survive.
