Between Two Beers Podcast

Joe Daymond is one of New Zealand’s best and funniest comedians who shot to fame during lockdown with his snackable social media vids.He’s now an award-winning comedian, actor, director and producer who has sold out national tours across both New Zealand & Australia.In this episode we talk about his fast rise through the NZ comedy scene, why he lived out of his car for months, becoming the youngest Kiwi comedian to sell-out Sky City Theatre – and why it may have happened too quickly, dealing with success, coping with criticism, performing with Theo Von and meeting Dave Chappelle, finding balance at home and what the future looks like.Joe is hilarious, but he also has incredible depth. This conversation was a ripper, full of thoughtfulness and laughs.Joe also looks a lot like Seamus – and as this one progresses you’ll see more and more about how eerily similar they are. Two beautiful men – it’s good stuff.If you'd like to get one of our epic guests in to MC or Speak at your function or event, flick us a message by going to B2Bspeakers.co.nz.This episode is brought to you by TAB, download the new app today and get your bet on!Between Two Beers is now part of the Acast Creator Network, listen wherever you get your podcasts from, or watch the video on YouTube.Enjoy.

Strap in for this one, because Dr. Alia Bojilova is one of the most impressive guests we’ve had on the show.She moved to New Zealand from Bulgaria as a 17-year-old who didn’t speak a word of English but soon became the lead psychologist for the New Zealand SAS.After leaving the military she embarked on a PhD, focusing on the concept of resilience and is now a world leader in the field, working with some of the biggest names, companies and athletes in the world.In 2013, Alia was working as a United Nations military observer in Syria when she and two colleagues were kidnapped by rebel fighters, held at gunpoint and told they were going to be decapitated on camera.In this chat Alia explains why she and her colleagues were held hostage, how they managed to negotiate their release using the skills she’d developed with the SAS.Alia is also married to former guest Jamie Pennell – who you might remember from our episode last year – as the SAS solider who won NZ’s second highest military honor – the Gallantry Star.This was such an epic chat, and Alia’s story, her insight and the way she holds herself – will blow you away.We're also stoked to tell you about the business we've built.
