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.

Thomas is one of our Low Key Legends and is the founder of The Waterboy - a Hamilton based not-for-profit organisation that uses sport and education to help disadvantaged youths.   His charity helps connect business sponsors with people, mostly children, to help them overcome barriers related to getting involved in sport, be it finance, family dysfunction, disability, family violence and sexuality. He's helping to create stronger people and communities, but that’s only part of his story.  In this episode we unpack the origin story of The Waterboy, the loss of his parents and the impact it had on him, lessons from David Galbraith, his marathon mishap when guiding a vision impaired runner, the beauty of cricket umpiring and some of the best stories from the huge amount of kids that have had their lives enriched thanks to Thomas.  Thomas' work is so important in NZ where the gap between the haves and the have nots is growing. He cares, deeply, and has created a vehicle to help. His vision is to create stronger communities in NZ and he’s just at the start of his journey – but he’s already doing it.  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.

Lani Daniels is a World champion boxer who holds the IBF heavyweight title and will this weekend aim to add the Light Heavyweight title to her collection, making her the first Kiwi woman in history to hold two world titles at different weights.  In this episode we talk about her rollercoaster ride from Pipiwai to world champion, growing up with eight siblings, the tragic loss of her brother and the spiral of drinking, depression and guilt that followed, how she pulled herself out of that hole and discovered boxing, her intense training regime, path to the top and all the best stories in between.  This was a really cool ep.
