Everyone talks about high performance — but how many people understand what it actually takes to build it?

In this episode, we sit down with Andrew from Roar Coaching, a high performance mindset coach who takes us back to where it all began — starting out as a banker before completely shifting direction into coaching.

Andrew shares how he made that transition, what drives him, and the lessons he’s learned working with high-level individuals including CEOs and even the Tongan netball team.

We dive into mindset, habits, discipline, and what separates average from elite — not just in business, but in life.

It’s an honest conversation about growth, pressure, and unlocking your potential.

This is one worth listening to.

Everyone knows Beach Hop, but not everyone knows the man who founded it.

In this episode, we sit down with Noddy Watts, founder of Beach Hop, to unpack the story behind New Zealand's biggest classic car event. From his early days at the NZ Post Office to building Hot Rods and running tours Route 66, Noddy has lived a life connected to the classic car culture and community.

We dive into how Beach Hop started, how the New Zealand car scene has evolved, and what it takes to build an event that draws thousands every year. Noddy also shares stories from his time leading tours across America and working alongside some of the biggest names in the global car scene.

That journey has led to moments like Barry Meguiar calling New Zealand the “Car Capital of the World” — a testament to what’s been built here.
