UFC is the fastest growing sport in the world. And Dan "The Hangman" Hooker is one of the biggest stars of the sport.


I have been a fan of Dan for years but had never met him until we connected for the podcast, and I hope you guys like this one as much as I did. The guy is HILARIOUS! And I genuinely believe its worth a listen, even if you are not a fan of combat sport.


This is part of the Dan Hooker story, an insight into mind of one of the most intriguing New Zealanders I’ve ever met:


He shares his best stories from the UFC. 

His fight day rituals and the aftermath of fights (which often involves hospitalization)

Why he wasn’t invited to spar Mark Zuckerburg

His thoughts on being called a role model.

His aspirations for a title. 

Life after the UFC and so much more.

Thanks so much to the sponsors of this episode, the Generate KiwiSaver Scheme.

I’m a generate customer. So is Dame Lisa Carrington and podcast listener Dan who sent me a DM:


“I would like to thank your sponsors. Switching my KiwiSaver to Generate has been a game changer. I’ve seen more growth in just a few months with Generate than I did my entire time with my previous fund through a big bank. It’s been a massive improvement, and I couldn’t recommend them more highly.”


So why should YOU consider becoming a Generate customer like Dan, Dame Lisa and me?

Well for starters they win awards all the time for their chart-topping long-term performance. 

They are a Kiwi-owned company with local advisers right across the country ready to help you. They’ll chat with you about your options and help make sure you’re maximising your KiwiSaver investment.


Head to https://www.generatewealth.co.nz/dom for a no-obligation chat with one of their advisers. The sooner you get advice, the better off you could be.

A copy of their product disclosure statement is available on their website. The issuer of the scheme is Generate Investment Management Limited and of course past performance does not guarantee future returns.
