The talented Mr Tom Lark popped in to discuss his new tune, ‘Sun's Up', and boy, is it a groover. The whole of Karangahape Road was bobbing to this one. The Peter Lineham fan club will be distraught with the news that we had to can this week's That's the Spirit due to a poor connection with Peter, who's in Tonga. Thanks The Beer Spot!

Two sisters and their methods for shifting performance nerves into joyful performances.Hina & Fiona are sisters and a world-class violin duo. They are Juilliard-trained under Itzhak Perlman and Midori, with Fiona making her New York Philharmonic debut at 16, Hina winning the Elmar Oliveira International Violin Competition, and their debut album Dear to Us out now on Pentatone. In this episode, Dr. Juna talks with them about the mental game of performing under pressure: how to flip from your harshest critic in the practice room to your most convicted self on stage, why they refuse to lean on pre-show rituals, how they recover from a mistake mid-performance, and the adaptability that keeps them calm when nothing ever goes exactly as planned.It's a RELAX TO SOAR™ conversation about the "A" in SOAR — adaptability — Hina talks about how RELAX TO SOAR is a concept she thinks about before she walks on stage.Links:Hina & Fiona → https://www.hinafiona.comAlbum Dear to Us (Pentatone) → https://www.pentatonemusic.com/product/dear-to-us/Hina & Fiona prep and have routines that help them succeed — the RELAX TO SOAR™ system builds that same steady structure into your day.Control your time and cognitively offload your health and performance with the 6-month RELAX TO SOAR™ planner.Sign up now to get free email support with your planner:mindbodyspace.com/storeHashtags: #HinaAndFiona #ViolinDuo #StageFright #PerformanceAnxiety #ClassicalMusic #Juilliard #DearToUs #PerformUnderPressure #MusiciansMentalHealth #RelaxToSoar #MindBodySpace
Send us Fan MailAfter 30 years running companies and multiple nine-figure exits, Joel Trammell noticed something no one else was building: software for every function of a business except the one running all of them. In this episode, he breaks down why the CEO seat has operated on instinct for decades, the five things only a CEO can actually do, and how he's built an AI platform designed to finally give CEOs the operating system every other role already has.What You Will LearnYou'll learn why CEO failure follows a predictable pattern, and why founders who scaled by doing everything themselves eventually hit a wall they can't out-work. You'll hear why trust starts with communicating vision clearly rather than control, and why most CEOs are using AI the wrong way entirely. Joel also walks through what he built into Chat CEO - the first AI platform designed specifically for the CEO role - and where he draws the line on what AI should never replace.Timestamps 00:00 - Why the CEO seat has run on instinct for 20+ years 00:55 - The moment Joel realized the role needed a system 02:52 - Why the real CEO challenge is deciding what to do, not how to do it 05:25 - The most common pattern behind CEO failure 06:58 - The five things only a CEO can do 09:49 - Trust, but verify: building a team you don't have to control 13:37 - The stress no one warns you about 15:19 - Why most CEOs are using AI wrong 20:03 - Inside Chat CEO: the first AI platform built for CEOs 25:45 - This or That with Joel Trammell 28:16 - Joel's advice to CEOs chasing their first billion 29:44 - The title of Joel's movieAbout the GuestJoel Trammell has spent over 30 years as a CEO, leading multiple companies to nine-figure exits. He's the founder of Chat CEO, the first AI platform built specifically for the enterprise CEO role, combining coaching, chief-of-staff support, and communication guidance in one system.

'Tis Monday once more. Lots of happenings this week. We discussed bridges, Bridgers, and Dave from Nirvana even called up—though Crawley was in such a state of disbelief, he hung up. An even greater Dave, Dave Taylor of the mythical Magic Factory, joined us to talk about their absolutely stunner of a new EP, 'Wild Times,' and the band's Wild Times Party show next week. The classic in culinary literature, 'Cooking With Kenny Rogers,' was also mentioned. Professor Emeritus Peter Lineham called up and we discussed Jainism (known for its nudie priests). Unofficial third Monday Drive host Lou also joined us to discuss the book she's reading on indie rock history. New segment?!? Ngā mihi The Beer Spot.

Send us Fan MailVarun Jain built ComplyJet into a profitable, growing company by deliberately rejecting the funded-and-fast playbook - choosing customer cash flow over venture capital because the constraints of bootstrapping force sharper positioning and clearer decision-making. His path - Stanford, a top enterprise AI company, three companies built - proves that capital-stage credibility doesn't require a term sheet. It requires ownership of the narrative and discipline in the build.What You Will LearnWhy staying bootstrapped can be a stronger capital-stage move than raising VCHow working inside a top enterprise AI company shaped his approach to building ComplyJetWhat "owning your narrative" actually means for founder positioningHow to know when to play safe versus go all-in on growthWhy customer cash flow can create sharper decision-making than investor capitalAbout the GuestVarun Jain is a third-time founder who built ComplyJet, a compliance software company, into a profitable, fast-growing business over the last three quarters - without raising outside capital.

New studio, new Monday drive. And boy, is the new studio flash. You can hear the titillation in Crawley's and Harry's voices. Laika talked with us about a bunch of theatrical goodness: ‘The Stranger,' ‘OVER AND OUT,' and more. That dickhead Brian Tamaki is in the news again, and Professor Emeritus Peter Lineham joined us for Thats the Spirit to really break it all down. We also caught up with Oamaru legend Matt Plunket of the Cuticles. There have been lineup changes, a new album, and even a tour of France. The Cuticles are certainly well manicured and sounding pretty damn great. This time, producer Harry took the lead on the interview. How'd he do? Well, you'll have to listen and find out.

Send us Fan MailLarry Namer built E! Entertainment Television from nothing and turned it into a global brand valued at billions - and he's spent the years since building media businesses across Russia and China, always staying ahead of the next disruption. In this conversation, he sits down with Hina to talk about the thing that's rattling Hollywood now: AI. His take isn't fear, it's familiarity - he's watched broadcast give way to cable, cable give way to streaming, and now streaming give way to whatever comes next, and he's convinced this cycle isn't any different.What You Will LearnYou'll hear why Larry believes most of Hollywood's fear around AI isn't really about the technology at all, but about the absence of legal structures and contracts to govern it. Hina opens up about being approached by an AI agency that wanted to build a digital avatar of her - and the two dig into where the line sits between using AI as a tool and losing your own authenticity to it. Larry also walks through how AI has changed his own creative process, cutting research that once took years down to hours, and shares his blunt advice for anyone in the industry still sitting on the sidelines. The conversation closes out with a rapid-fire round of This or That, where Larry picks sides on AI, streaming, and the future of Hollywood without hesitation.Timestamps00:00 — Cable to AI: Larry's Disruption Playbook 02:50 — AI Levels the Playing Field 07:03 — Deepfakes and Her AI Avatar 09:06 — Is AI Psychopathic? 11:28 — Is Authenticity Dead? 13:39 — This or That with Larry NamerAbout the GuestLarry Namer co-founded E!

A very exciting Monday Drive this week, certainly a lot of livin', laughin' and lovin', and word on the street is that the big move is happening soon. We started the show off with a good yarn with 95bFM alumni and veeeeery talented musician Beth Torrance about her brand-spanking-new EP, ‘Your Favourite.' Spoiler alert: it rips! As usual, Professor Emeritus Peter Lineham joined us for That's the Spirit. We talked about the new Catholic cathedral in Ōtautahi. We also learned what ‘cathedral' means. There's a buzz going on about a hot new Kiwi film premiering at NZIFF, ‘The Ungrateful Tenant.' And, what do you know, we had the pleasure of talking to director Conor Bowden and composer Joshua Worthington-Church. Ngā mihi nui The Beer Spot.
You can lose the weight and still feel like a stranger in your own body. Identity-led transformation coach Hina Khan joins Gina Livy to explain why so many women regain weight even after doing everything right. It's not from a lack of discipline, but because their self-image never caught up to the change. They get into the idea of a mental "set point," why you unconsciously undo your own progress to feel normal again, the trap of "when-then" living (I'll be happy when I hit the goal), and why imposter syndrome isn't a stop sign, it's a signal to expand your capacity, not shrink your goals.Hina Khan is the author of A Return to You and host of The Possibilities with Hina Khan podcast.Where to Find Hina:Website: https://hinakhan.caInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/coachwithhinaYou'll find Hina's book, A Return to YOU, here: https://www.amazon.ca/dp/1965653278 This podcast aligns with Day one of our Summer Club, members can find video in our Livy Method app or Summer Club Community Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/livymethodspring2026 Hosted on Acast.

Send us Fan MailNatalie Glebova won Miss Universe 2005 as a Russian immigrant many people told her she couldn't win. Two decades later, she's telling a very different story - about the identity crisis that followed the crown, why she ran from a 10-day meditation retreat after four days, and why she'd choose freedom over fame every time.What You Will LearnYou'll hear how Natalie went from feeling like a second-class citizen as a young immigrant in Canada to winning Miss Universe Canada on her second attempt, and why she calls the title itself "the most scenic route" to a destination she believes she was always headed toward. She talks candidly about the identity crisis that followed her win, why achieving something that big at a young age left little room for real self-awareness, and how she eventually found her way into meditation, spirituality, and the plant medicine ceremonies that reshaped how she sees herself. She also opens up about writing her book Temple of Love, what true self-love actually requires, and why she believes freedom - not fame - is the truest measure of a life well lived.Timestamps0:00 - Immigrant roots and bullying growing up in Canada1:24 - Competing (and losing) Miss Universe Canada the first time3:37 - Trying again and winning the title5:58 - How life changed after winning Miss Universe7:43 - What actually makes a winner13:41 - The identity crisis behind the crown17:00 - Discovering meditation - and failing Vipassana24:52 - Writing Temple of Love30:51 - Ayahuasca, plant medicine, and the shaman Nayana44:15 - The line from her book that still moves her53:17 - What she's still learning about herself55:46 - Fame or freedom?59:03 - Her closing mantra: "This is happening for me"About the GuestNatalie Glebova is a Russian-Canadian author and energy coach who won Miss Universe 2005.

Monday Crawley Drive (or MCD, as they sometimes call it) is here once more! Hurrah! We workshopped a few ideas, with help from those listening along live, for new names for the Monday Drive. The Marvelous Monday Matinee and Rambling Ramblers were some favourites but, ultimately, the whole discussion really helped put a new coat of polish on an old pair of shoes. We came to appreciate Monday Drive for its simple beauty and decided to stick with it after all. We caught up with Laika, who talked about a couple of pretty cracker shows she'd caught over the last couple of weeks. We also chatted to the always insightful Professor Emeritus Peter Lineham about religion and football. And Matthew presented a very special, slickly edited interview with none other than Matt Berry, who's just put out an absolute rager of a jazz album, Everything's Peachy. Thanks heaps The Beer Spot.
Send us Fan MailMike Grossman has built and sold six companies in Silicon Valley — one of them growing to a $30 million run rate in under a year before Congress legislated its business model out of existence overnight. In this conversation, he explains why his book is called Failure Is an Option, why the best things in his life were never the ones he planned, and why he walked away from funding rather than push out his co-founder and best friend.What You Will LearnMike shares how a single unplanned answer in a job interview set off a chain of decisions that led him to his wife, his career, and Silicon Valley itself. He talks about refusing an investor's demand to remove his co-founder as CEO, and what that cost him in delayed funding. He walks through losing a business overnight to new legislation, and how a failed IPO attempt during COVID turned into a better outcome than going public would have. He also unpacks why he believes decisions should be made on analysis rather than emotion, and how the three roles of a CEO — strategist, psychologist, and storyteller — shape everything else.Timestamps 00:00 — The interview moment that changed everything07:40 — Starting his first company the day his wife went into labor10:00 — The investor who wanted him to fire his best friend15:47 — Building six companies and learning patience through negotiation18:38 — Luck, belief, and staying level through the ups and downs27:02 — Redefining success on your own terms28:21 — This or That with Mike Grossman31:23 — The three roles of a CEO: strategist, psychologist, storytellerAbout the GuestMike Grossman has founded and sold six companies across Silicon Valley, spanning small business finance, lending, and fintech.

It's Crawley Monday, and Matthew and Harry are back! It's all happening at 95bFM--the move is in progress, and this week we're broadcasting from the transitory schtudio. We battled a bit, but it wouldn't be a true blue Monday Drive without a bit of battling, and we always make it through in the end. Matariki weekend was festive for both of us. We fawned over the fantastical Exploding Rainbow Orchestra performance on Sunday, and Harry made a spooky goblin lighter cover. The multitalented Fen Ikner joined us for a chat. Fans of ripper Kiwi tunes will recognise Fen as one quarter of Lips. What you may not know is that Fen is also one whole of a man with a rich past, including a stint in the Buffalo-based post-hardcore supergroup Knife Crazy, who are releasing their second album 20 years in the making! Professor Emeritus Peter Lineham joined us with another fascinating topic: religion in North Korea. Mr Matthew Crawley also paid a short and sweet tribute to the late Sam Neill. Rest in peace. Ngā mihi The Beer Spot.
Send us Fan MailIn 1999, while the world was buying tech stocks with both hands, Alex McIntyre's algorithm was telling clients to sell. The dot-com bubble burst anyway. Three decades and a 76.2% hit rate later, Alex is still making the same argument: the biggest threat to an investor's returns isn't the market, it's their own emotion.What You Will LearnHow a purely quantitative, emotion-free model has called major market turns — including the 2008 financial crisis — three to six months ahead of the curve. Why even sophisticated investors get fooled by a "good label," the same way wine critics are swayed by a famous name on the bottle. What separates a hedge fund's agility from a pension fund's caution, and why that difference matters for returns.

Normalmente dedicamos nuestro tiempo a desgranar la ingeniería de los motores, la aerodinámica de los grandes deportivos o las técnicas de conducción de los pilotos más laureados. Pero hoy, vamos a centrar nuestra atención en el escenario: la carretera. Porque a veces, el asfalto no es un aliado, sino una trampa mortal diseñada por la geografía, el clima o la pura desidia humana. El ser humano lleva siglos intentando domar el planeta, pero existen lugares donde la naturaleza sigue teniendo la última palabra. En este video, realizamos un recorrido exhaustivo por los puntos negros del mapamundi. No hablamos de simples baches, sino de trayectos donde el error se paga con un viaje a la eternidad. 1. El Paso de Stelvio, Italia: El desafío de los Alpes Construido en 1820 por el Imperio Austríaco, el Passo dello Stelvio es un icono para cualquier "petrolhead". Sin embargo, sus 48 "tornanti" o curvas de herradura en la cara norte son una prueba de fuego para los frenos y la concentración. Con pendientes que alcanzan el 11%, el peligro aquí reside en el exceso de confianza y la fatiga mecánica. 2. Carretera de Guoliang, China: Tallada a mano La historia de Guoliang es la de la desesperación convertida en ingeniería rudimentaria. Trece aldeanos excavaron en 1972 un túnel de 1.200 metros usando solo martillos y cinceles. Sus "ventanas" abiertas al abismo ofrecen vistas espectaculares pero aterradoras. 3. Autopista Dalton, Alaska: El infierno helado Conocida por la serie "Camioneros del Hielo", la James W. Dalton Highway son 666 kilómetros de aislamiento extremo. Aquí la amenaza no es el precipicio, sino la hipotermia a -40°C y la falta absoluta de servicios. En esta ruta, los camiones tienen prioridad absoluta; sus nubes de polvo y piedras rompen parabrisas y la ayuda puede tardar días en llegar. Es la carretera con la menor tasa de supervivencia. 4. Autopista de Karakórum: La octava maravilla Conectando Pakistán con China a más de 4.600 metros de altitud, esta ruta sigue la antigua Ruta de la Seda. Durante su construcción murieron más de mil trabajadores.. Además, el mal de altura merma los reflejos del conductor en el peor escenario posible. 5. El Camino a las Yungas, Bolivia: La ruta de los abismos Durante años fue titulada como la carretera más peligrosa del mundo. Este trayecto desciende desde los 4.650 metros hasta la selva amazónica en solo 80 kilómetros. Lo que la hace única es que se conduce por la izquierda para que el conductor vea el borde del precipicio bajo su rueda. Niebla, cascadas que caen sobre la calzada y la ausencia total de vallas de seguridad la convirtieron en una trampa que llegó a cobrarse 300 vidas al año. 6. Commonwealth Avenue, Filipinas: Caos urbano No todo el peligro está en la montaña. Esta avenida en Ciudad Quezón es apodada la "Killer Highway". A pesar de tener hasta 18 carriles de ancho, la falta de disciplina es total. Autobuses compitiendo entre sí, peatones cruzando por donde pueden y motocicletas zigzagueando crean un caos donde se registran hasta cinco accidentes graves al día. 7. Carretera de Jalalabad a Kabul, Afganistán: Tensión extrema Un trayecto que atraviesa territorio hostil en el cañón del río Kabul. La combinación de conductores temerarios que ignoran cualquier norma de tráfico, el pésimo estado del firme por los conflictos bélicos y la amenaza de ataques insurgentes la convierte en la ruta más estresante de Asia Central. Es una zona de guerra vial donde ya se ha dejado de contar el número de víctimas anuales. 8. Autopista de Hina, India: Techos de roca Atravesando Himachal Pradesh, esta ruta es famosa por sus tramos de "media herradura", donde la carretera está literalmente excavada en la pared del acantilado, dejando una visera de roca sobre el techo del vehículo. En época de monzones, el terreno se vuelve sumamente frágil y los desprendimientos de rocas del tamaño de un coche son habituales, mientras se comparte un espacio de apenas tres metros con camiones de carga. 9. Atlantic Ocean Road, Noruega: El mar contra el asfalto Inaugurada a finales de los 80, esta joya arquitectónica conecta islotes mediante puentes imposibles. El peligro aquí es el Atlántico Norte. Durante los temporales, las olas rompen directamente contra la calzada y las ráfagas de viento pueden desplazar lateralmente a los vehículos. Es una pesadilla de visibilidad cero y asfalto deslizante donde el océano intenta reclamar su espacio sobre el hombre. 10. BR-116, Brasil: La Rodovia da Morte Terminamos en el eje norte-sur de Brasil. El tramo de la "Serra do Cafezal" es infame por su altísima siniestralidad. No hay grandes abismos, pero sí una fatiga extrema de los conductores de camiones, niebla cerrada, pendientes pronunciadas y una alta tasa de criminalidad.
