On this episode of Between Two Beers, we talk to Jemarl Paerata.  Jemarl was the inspiration for starting our Low Key Legends series. I heard him speak during a presentation at Dave Wood’s Calm Under Pressure workshop earlier this year, and was immediately captivated and knew we had to get him in for a chat.  These days, Jemarl is as a motivational mentor and the founder of Te Kaiarahi –where he inspires people to reach their full potential based on Te Ao Maori principals and connecting back to nature.  But his journey there has been one hell of a ride.  In this episode we talk about why his dad was sentenced to 30 years at the Bangkok Hilton in 1991, and how he tried to get him out, his 20-year career as a professional firefighter and the trauma and darkness associated with the job, his relationship with alcohol, hitting rock bottom and how he pulled himself out of his hole, discovering his purpose, starting his own business and realising his vision.  Jemarl is just at the start of his journey helping and building community. But his story is one that needs to be heard.  Listen on iheart or wherever you get your podcasts from, or watch the video on Youtube. And follow us on Insta and Tik Tok to see the best video clips from each ep.    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 Jack Tame.   Jack is journalism’s Swiss Army Knife – a guy that does it all. He’s been a Breakfast host, a 6pm news reader, he hosts one of NZ’s biggest radio shows on Newstalk ZB, is a columnist for the NZ Herald, has moderated live election debates, now hosts TVNZ’s Q and A and has seen more, and experienced more of the world – than any 36-year-old we know.   In this episode we talk about how he was given Paul Holmes’ radio job on ZB at the age of 25 with no radio experience, *That* interview with Winston Peters where Jack was called James – about 10 times, the time he was recording live TV while fearing for his fathers life, dancing with Beyonce, covering Trump, why he left Breakfast TV, the things you don’t know about MIke Hosking and so much more.   This was one of our favourite episodes and one we wanted to share with new listeners of the podcast. Jack is, in my opinion, the best political interviewer in the country and his razor sharp mind and quick wit made this one a lot of fun.   Listen on iheart or wherever you get your podcasts from, or watch the vid on our Youtube channel.   A huge thanks to those supporting the show on patreon, if you want to chip in for the cost of a cup of coffee a month, go to betweentwobeers.com   This episode was brought to you from the Export Beer Garden studio.

On this episode of Between Two Beers we talk to Steve Price.  Steve is a legend of rugby league on both sides of the Tasman. In Australia he played 222 games for the Bulldogs and 16 for Australia before moving to New Zealand in 2005 to captain the Warriors.  Steve’s impact on New Zealand transcended rugby league where he racked up 91 caps for the Warriors across four years, but also opened a supermarket in Waipu, coached rugby league at Mt Albert Grammar school and became a pillar of his community, which was recognised when he was appointed a Member of the NZ Order of Merit in 2010.  In this episode we talk about Steve’s high-achieving family, and how two of his kids are now professional athletes, the tragic loss of his father to suicide last year and how it impacted him, what makes a good leader, and how he navigated challenges across his career like the scandals that enveloped the Bulldogs and the loss of Sonny Fai at the Warriors, *That* Origin fight, behind the scenes of the Supermarket business, Celebrity Treasure Island and ,much, much more.  Steve may well be NZ’s favourite Australian, and after listening to this it will be easy to see why. He’s achieved incredible success in all facets of his life and has so much brilliant wisdom to share. This was a really special one.  Listen on iheart or wherever you get your podcasts from, or watch the video on Youtube.   This episode was brought to you from the Export Beer garden studio.

On this episode of Between Two Beers we talk to Chris Wood.  Chris is one of New Zealand’s best football players of all time, with over 200 English Premier League appearances and more than 50 goals.  In 2022 he became the EPL’s most expensive 30-year-old in Premier League history when his move from Burnley to Newcastle cost $NZD 50 million. At the start of this year he joined Nottingham Forrest where he currently plays, along with the All Whites – where he’s captain, leading all time goal scorer and best player.  In this episode we talk about his challenging journey to the top, what makes a good coach vs a great coach, what life is like inside a Premier League dressing room, best players he’s played with and against, making his EPL debut as a 17-year-old, why he got booed at Leeds and the mental affect it had on him, the art of scoring goals and much, much more.  This was Chris’s first every long-form podcast and was such an insightful look behind the scenes of what it takes to get to the top in football.   We loved it, and hope you do too.  Listen on iheart or wherever you get your podcasts from, or watch the video on Youtube. And follow us on Insta and Tik Tok to see the best video clips from each ep.   This episode was brought to you from the Export Beer garden studio.

On this episode of Between Two Beers we talk to Hamish Pinkham. Hamish is a lawyer, entrepreneur and musician, but is best known for being the co-founder and director of Rhythm and Vines - New Zealand's premier live music festival. In 2003 Hamish and his two roommates at the University of Otago decided to host a party for their friends in a Gisborne vinyard. The story of what’s happened since then is quite remarkable. In this episode we talk through the 21-year journey of R and V highs and lows, from fears of losing it all, to having 30,000 revellers at its peak. We hear the best behind-the-scenes stories from experiences with Public Enemy and Chance the Rapper, the wildest riders, his hustlers mentality, the time he tried standup comedy, and all the business lessons he learned along the way. What Hamish has built and achieved over the last two decades is seriously impressive. But after talking to him – it’s easy to see how. He’s smart, fun, driven and extremely personable. This was a really fun ep. Listen on iHeart or wherever you get your podcasts from or watch the video on YouTube. And follow us on Insta and Tik Tok to see the best video clips from each ep.
