In this raw and powerful episode, K’Lee opens up like never before. From becoming a pop star at 14 to surviving an abusive relationship and being held at gunpoint, K’Lee’s story is one of strength, resilience, and redemption.

She shares the truth behind early fame, the music industry’s dark side, her battle with postpartum depression, and nearly losing her baby — twice. We also explore how she rebuilt her life through radio, family, and personal growth.

This is one of the most gripping and heartfelt conversations I've ever had on the podcast.

🎤 Topics include:

• The cost of early fame
• Surviving domestic violence and trauma
• What it’s really like to be held at gunpoint
• Postpartum depression and NICU heartbreak
• Raising six kids while running businesses and hosting a radio show
• Powerful messages for young women, men, and parents

Whether you knew her as K’Lee the pop star, or are meeting her for the first time — this conversation will stay with you.

👀 Watch to the end for a powerful message to her children — it’s unforgettable.***

Dave Wood is a high-performance coach.

He hosts workshops at West Auckland’s Piha Beach called Calm Under Pressure which combine mental and physical challenges- clients (including UFC stars, Team NZ champions and Olympic athletes) often describe these workshops as life changing.

Dave Wood has done a lot, seen a lot and learned a lot.

I genuinely believe if you are listening to this episode in the right frame of mind- ready to learn and open to some new ways of thinking, this podcast conversation could be transformational.

It’s a podcast of two halves. The first half is stuff we can all draw from around mental skill development and personal growth.

The second half is all about Dave and who he is: a kid who struggled with learning who became the youngest surf lifesaving captain in New Zealand before going on some INSANE travel adventures before becoming an emergency paramedic.

After listening to this, if you are keen to attend one of Dave’s Calm Under Pressure workshops, you will get 20% OFF if you book BEFORE June 7 2025

In this very non-political conversation, Christopher Luxon shares insights into his personal life, family values, and career journey.

Some of the ground we cover includes:

+ How his upbringing shaped him. And how his parents cope with the criticism he cops

+ His friendship with Sir John Key

+ Why he has never touched alcohol.

+ The backstory of his relationship with Amanda and how they make it work.

+ His best and worst habits according to his family and much much more!

The goal with these podcasts is always the same- to try and get a better understanding of a person through long form conversations.

Maybe it will change your opinion on the Prime Minister. Or maybe it won’t. And either of those outcomes are fine.

I enjoyed the conversation, and I hope you do too.
