JON NABBS

I caught up with Jon the day after he landed back in New Zealand after completing an absurd personal running challenge in Canada.

Dressed in a superman suit and pushing a stroller containing all his supplies- tent, sleeping bag, food, electronics, everything- he spent 305 days running from one side of Canada to the other- 7351km- solo and unsupported.

In the process he raised over $100,000 for child cancer research.

His why could not be any more significant either- during the pandemic he lost both his parents to different cancers within a year of each other.

I was inspired and I hope you will be too. Jon Nabbs is just a normal guy who has gone through some really unfair stuff, so decided to process his trauma by doing something really cool. Or crazy. Probably both.

Thanks to my mates at Generate and Radix for sponsoring this episode.

I recently found out that around half a million Kiwis are missing out on the KiwiSaver Government contribution, which is an extra $521 each year. That’s extra

money, that’s well worth getting if you can.

That's where Generate comes in – they make this stuff easy. They have a team of advisers who can go over your options and help make sure you’re getting the most out of your KiwiSaver investment. If you’ve never got KiwiSaver advice before, do your future self a favor and request a meeting with a Generate advisor:

Radix nutritional products are plain and simply world class. I start every day with a protein shake made with Radix powder. I throw in a banana, maybe some oats and yoghurt, and I’m ready to seize the day. This has been my routine for over 2 years now and I swear by it. If you want to look AND feel good- try Radix.

They also make a range of freeze-dried ready to eat breakfasts and meals which are nothing short of incredible. You just tear the bag open, pour some water in and eat. That’s it. They taste great, fill you up and most importantly, they are healthy.
