Between Two Beers Podcast

Dr Inia Raumati is one of our Low Key Legends – a man who lives life in the extremes.  He works as an emergency doctor at Auckland City Hospital, was deployed to Iraq with the NZ army, holds a blue-belt in Jui Jitsu and has volunteered on rescue helicopters.  He is one of only a small group of people who have run the 4 Deserts Grand Slams, completing multi-day “raids” across the Sahara, Gobi, Atacama, and the Antarctic.  This year, Inia plans on being the first person in the world to run a self-supported, multi-stage ultra marathon (that’s over 250 km per race) on every continent, in a single year.  In this episode we talk about how running helped him deal with his anger in his youth, surfing without knowing how to swim, the obstacles he’s overcome, his path into medicine and the challenges of being a maori doctor in New Zealand, the most incredible stories from his ultra-marathon missions around the world and the logistics of working towards this year’s goal.  Inia is a candid, Kiwi bloke, whose honest sensibility, humour, and grounded nature was refreshing - and his mental hardness and mindset will blow you away. This is an ep not to be missed. Listen on iheart or wherever you get your podcasts from, or watch the video on Youtube.   If you’d like to hire one of our guests to speak at your function or event, flick us a message by going to B2Bspeakers.co.nz.  This episode was brought to you from the Export Beer garden studio.

Raelene Castle is the CEO of Sport NZ, and one of the most accomplished and experienced administrators in NZ sport.  She spent six years as CEO of Netball NZ, before becoming the first female CEO of an NRL team, when she led the Bulldogs for six years.  After that she smashed another glass wall, becoming Rugby Australia’s first female CEO in 2018.  In this episode we talk about the challenges of the Israel Folau saga, when she found herself at the centre of one of sports biggest controversies at Rugby Australia, how she got the job at the Bulldogs, her relationship with Des Hassler and the most insightful memories from six years inside the NRL, lessons in leadership, how she got her start at Netball NZ, her return to New Zealand and the challenges facing sport here.  After listening to this, you’ll get a taste for why Raelene has had the career she has. She’s the real deal, full of energy, sharp as a tack and doesn’t miss a beat.

On this episode of Between Two Beers we talk to Dallas Tamaira  Dallas is the lead singer of Fat Freddy’s Drop, one of New Zealand’s most popular bands of all time.  His voice is unmistakable as the focal point of the seven-piece super group, but this year, for the first time in two decades, Dallas has released a solo EP, called Levels.  In this episode we talk about the best stories across 20 years with Fat Freddy's, lessons from the road, finding sanctuary at the spacies, the origins of Fat Freddy's, NZ’ best kept musical secret, fatherhood, his new music and much much more.  Dallas is one of my favourite artists and his music has been the background to nearly every summer I can remember. It was a real privelidge to get to share some time with him, and unpack the best bits from his incredible life in music.  Listen on iheart or wherever you get your podcasts from, or watch the video on Youtube.   If you’d like to hire one of our guests to speak at your function or event, flick us a message by going to B2Bspeakers.co.nz.   This episode was brought to you from the Export Beer garden studio.

On this episode of Between Two Beers we’re rewinding the clock back to  April of 2022 when we sat down with Ryan Fox.   Ryan is NZ’s best golfer and at the time of recording had won two European Tour titles and has 13 professional wins. Since recording Fox has added another title, and a second place finish and a third, to go along with $5.1m in prize money.   In this episode we talk about how he celebrated his win in the Ras Al Kaimah classic and what happened to the $500,000 dollar prize money, what it was like playing a hole with Tiger Woods – and we hear all his best Tiger stories, memories of his late, great mate Shane Warne, how Steve Hansen’s advice helped him out of a funk, what makes Steve Williams such a good caddy and how his upbringing, surrounded by Kiwi sporting royalty, shaped his life.    This ep was a cracker and we’re excited to re-release it for our new listeners. We had so much fun across the two hours.   Ryan said before we started recording that he was an open book – and to ask him anything – so we did. it's really rare to have a sportsperson at the top of the tree in NZ who’s so accessible, fun and likeable. You’re gonna like this one.    Listen on iheart or wherever you get your podcasts from, or watch the video on Youtube.   If you’d like to hire one of our guests to speak at your function or event, flick us a message by going to B2Bspeakers.co.nz. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
