Glenn is the Co-Founder of Simplify Holdings International, a company specialising in personal and automotive finance across New Zealand and Australia. Ten years ago, Glenn and his team spotted a gap in the New Zealand market—limited consumer finance options and an almost non-existent online experience—and built Simplify to solve it.Today, over 17,000 customers have used Simplify, and the business is on track to write over $150 million in finance volume this financial year. Glenn now plays a more strategic role in the group while the day-to-day is led by the team.In our conversation we talk about Glenn's foundations: growing up just outside Melbourne, Australia, being told by a teacher at 16 that he'd prefer it if Glenn left school, and how he turned that moment into fuel. We revisit his early career in IT, leading teams older than him, and the leadership lesson that it's more important to be respected than liked.We explore his move to BMW Australia, starting in customer service, building relationships across the organisation, and the practical value of curiosity. We discuss the impact of losing his mum, a period of travel and reflection, and the shift from finance broking as a sole operator to deciding—after a pivotal Tony Robbins event in Los Angeles—to build a bigger business.We then trace the path to Simplify: seeing the New Zealand opportunity, starting small, persevering through perceptions of being “too Australian,” growing a distributed team across NZ and Australia, installing a CEO, and stepping into a strategic role while keeping close to the team and partners.Connect with GlennLinkedInWebsiteAbout AndyI'm a business leader, coach, and the creator of the Fulfilling Performance framework—designed to help people bring more of themselves to what they do and experience greater fulfilment and performance as a result.Over the past 25+ years, I've led and developed businesses including Alphabet UK, BMW Financial Services in the UK, Singapore, and New Zealand, and Tesla Financial Services UK.

Canada's tax problem isn't just slow phones at the CRA—it's a century of bolt-on rules that made filing confusing, subjective, and expensive to administer. A new review found CRA contact centres gave accurate answers only 17% of the time during the 2025 tax season window, echoing long-standing issues flagged by earlier audits (including millions of dropped and blocked calls). This complicated tax system creates unnecessary bureaucracy, wasted money, unpaid taxes, and a subjective audit process that means you can pay more (or less) taxes depending on how well your auditor slept the night before.Hiring more agents won't fix a tax law that's impossible to interpret. Simpler rules will. In this episode, I sketch a path to simpler, fairer, faster taxes. First, a quick history lesson on why we have income taxes, and how they became a Frankenstein's monster of laws that no one can understand. This will show us that the problem is getting worse, and will keep getting worse until we have a major system overhaul. Then I'll get into solutions.I explore proven options from abroad:Pre-populated / return-free filing (pioneered by Denmark; now used in most OECD countries) to slash time, phone calls, and errors—already being piloted in Quebec for simple returns. Flatter, broader bases with minimal carve-outs (think Estonia's ultra-simple system) and NZ's broad-base/low-rate GST—models that raise revenue with less friction. Withholding-as-final for straightforward T4 earners, so most people don't file at all unless their situation is complex—borrowing design cues from the Nordics. Look, nobody wants to talk about tax until they have to. But when they do - and they have to every year - they hate everything about our tax system. It creates unnecessary frustration and anger. Nobody wants to deal with the CRA, and nobody wants to work for the CRA either. Why would they?Many people who don't pay taxes do it out of frustration - they just give up. They're not evil; they're just overwhelmed. Tax filings have become a game.I'm not anti-tax; I'm anti-waste. My companies happily pay millions of dollars in corporate taxes annually. Its employees add another 1M in income taxes to our society, and you can add HST on top of all of it. What I want is less money burned collecting taxes and more money spent on services. If Canadians want better healthcare, safer streets, and a clearer deal with citizens, we should push for tax simplification, not just bigger call centres.Sources:CRA call centres: 17% accuracy (Feb–May 2025); prior audits on access/accuracy.

In this episode, we dive into the latest developments across New Zealand's agricultural sector.Alex Coddington from AgriHQ provides an update on the lamb and cattle markets, highlighting how weather conditions are affecting livestock prices and availability, while Farmlands chief executive Tanya Houghton discusses the co-operative's turnaround, posting a net profit of $2.8 million for FY25 after a prior loss.  Lincoln University's Dr Nic Lees also joins the studio to explore the implications of Fonterra's $3.2 billion windfall from the sale of its consumer brands, and Federated Farmers vice president Colin Hurst addresses the complexities of agricultural regulations and RMA reform. Market Insights | Store stock demand top dollar at saleyards1:38 – Alex Coddington from AgriHQ discusses the current state of the lamb and cattle markets, highlighting the impact of weather conditions on livestock pricing and availability. She talks us through the softer lamb market in Hawke's Bay, the effects of local buying power, and the strong demand in the cattle market, indicating a seller's market with high confidence in beef prices.Feature | Farmlands: strategic improvements and market sentiment6:48 – Farmlands chief executive Tanya Houghton discusses the co-operative's annual result, which saw it post a net profit after tax of $2.8 million for the 2025 financial year – up from a loss of $9.3m (restated) in FY24. She says a refreshed strategy and the acquisition of nutrition manufacturer Seales Winslow helped turn things around.Feature | Navigating Fonterra's $3.2 billion windfall18:34 – Lincoln University's Dr Nic Lees unpacks Fonterra's $3.2b windfall from the sale of its consumer brands, exploring how farmers can invest wisely for long-term resilience, efficiency, and sustainability in the dairy sector.He talks about potential investment strategies for farmers, including the risks associated with increased production, and Fonterra's competitive advantages in the market.Feds Focus | Survey shows consent process frustrating farmers29:11 – Federated Farmers vice president Colin Hurst discusses the complexities and costs associated with agricultural regulations. With the RMA currently being reformed by the government, Colin says all consents should be rolled over, rather than forcing farmers to renew them under the outgoing regulatory regime.The Final Word35:12 – The arable sector is at the heart of farming in NZ, but is still struggling to conquer the market here. At least 75% of the bread sold in NZ is made with imported grain, something the industry is keen to rectify through the newly launched New Zealand Grown Grains Mark. Early signs are that it might prove a success.

No ifs, buts or maybes. No excuses. No shoulda coulda woulda. Scott Robertson needs to come home from the Northern tour undefeated. 4 zip. Grand Slam in tow. Am I expecting too much? Hell no. This is Razor's mid-term exam. After being awarded a 4 year contract by NZR, an oddity in itself, the faith must be repaid. Repaid to the NZR but most importantly to the fans. Granted, World Cup victory is the ultimate measure of any international rugby team's worth, a multitude of 4-year cycle result sins can be erased with success in one tournament, but NZ rugby fans won't wait that long to taste Razors pudding. The proof of his tenure's success is how tasty the spoonful is at the end of this tour. Soured by only one defeat will leave us all asking questions of the chef. This is a mini–World Cup. The last pool game, then a quarter, a semi and the final. Not that the Welsh will be in the WC final but hey. Short of the locks, this team is the best that the AB's can muster. Their edge has been keenly sharpened on the whetstone of a pulsating and competitive Rugby Championship. They've had a couple of weeks off to breathe and reset, a swag of cavalry has returned and now we wait to see if Robertson has unlocked the door to international coaching success. He's had a couple of years. He's trialled many a player, many a game plan. He's had his share of failures, the much maligned fourth quarter impotence for example, his inability to retain coaching staff, and he oversaw arguably the worst 40 minutes of All Black rugby in recent memory, the horror show in Wellington against the Springboks. So he's been given rope, plenty of rope, what's he going to do with it? Tie himself in knots, fashion a noose, who knows. I do know though, that 4 nil is a necessity for this side and this coach, and no correspondence will be entered into. Scott Robertson needs to come home from the Northern tour undefeated.

As Ireland square up to the All Blacks at the weekend, we are all New Zealand this week, podcasting from the edge of the world, Richie McCaw's old stomping Christchurch, New Zealand. We explore why the world's richest men are turning NZ's quiet and beautiful South Island into their apocalypse insurance policy. Peter Thiel has bought hundreds of acres near Lake Wānaka, joining a wave of tech billionaires building bunkers at the bottom of the planet. They call it resilience; it looks a lot like retreat. From Victorian settlers fleeing moral decay to modern tech evangelists escaping the society they built, New Zealand has always drawn utopians convinced the world is ending somewhere else. We trace the country's shift from colonial outpost to libertarian life raft, unpacking The Sovereign Individual, the book that shaped Silicon Valley's doomsday economics. A journey through empire, ideology, and the strange new faith that the future belongs only to those who can afford to escape. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Our guest today is a proper Kiwi legend — a bloke whose name is basically stitched into the fabric of New Zealand food and hospitality. Al Brown isn't your typical TV chef — he's more of a storyteller with a fishing rod in one hand and a spatula in the other. He co-founded Logan Brown, one of NZ's best restaurants, hosted a bunch of TV shows and created Depot Eatery and Federal Deli — two absolute Auckland institutions. He's cooked for world leaders, fished every corner of Aotearoa, and probably poured more beers for strangers than most bartenders.His new book, Hooked, dives into his lifelong love of fishing — the food, the people, and the stories that come with it.

Phil is back from Australia and will be certain to share a few stories and photos.He's returned to find Britain's Labour government beset with scandals old and new - about grooming gangs, the influence of China on espionage cases and on the shadowy funding of Keir Starmer's own election campaign. What's going on?But the main story of the week is the continuing saga of Prince Andrew's connection to the Epstein affair, thrown into new relief by the publication of Virginia Giuffrie's powerful and shocking book NOBODY'S GIRL. It contains powerful allegations about Prince Andrew and other men - but (to the disappointment of some) is rather generous towards Donald Trump. All of this is running in parallel with continuing pressure on the Trump administration to publish everything it knows about the activities of Jeffrey Epstein. And the great expert on that story - our friend Clive Irving - joins Phil to reveal what's going on behind the scenes in Washington - and why it matters.

In this episode of Pushing the Limits, Lisa Tamati sits down with Brandon Bucher, the visionary CEO of Lightning Pay NZ, a company pioneering Bitcoin payment infrastructure and merchant solutions in New Zealand. Brandon shares his personal Bitcoin journey, what drew him into the ecosystem, and why he's deeply passionate about financial freedom, self-sovereignty, and decentralized money. Together, we unpack the macro forces shaping our economic landscape — from inflation and debt-driven systems to currency debasement and money printing — and why Bitcoin represents a viable alternative. We also dive into how the Lightning Network (Bitcoin's layer-two scaling solution) is enabling instant, low-cost payments, helping Bitcoin evolve from a “store of value” into a true medium of exchange. Brandon explains why layer-two and layer-three infrastructure are critical for scalability, usability, and global adoption — and how Lightning Pay NZ is making this future a reality for businesses and consumers alike. If you care about sound money, digital freedom, and building a fairer financial system, this episode will inspire you to rethink what money really means in the 21st century. Topics We Cover: Brandon's journey into Bitcoin and the Lightning ecosystem Why Bitcoin matters in an age of debt, inflation, and fiat instability The role of layer-two solutions like Lightning Network Why Bitcoin's base layer prioritizes decentralization and security — and can't scale alone How Lightning Pay NZ is helping merchants accept Bitcoin easily How Lightning Pay acts as both a Bitcoin exchange and POS (point-of-sale) system for real-world payments The macro outlook for global finance and how Bitcoin fits into it The philosophy of financial self-sovereignty and trustless systems   Connect with Brandon: Website: Lightning Pay NZ X (Twitter): @BTCNautilus Learn More: Check out Lightning Pay NZ, a payment gateway and exchange making it easy for New Zealand businesses to accept Bitcoin instantly using the Lightning Network, convert it to NZD if desired, and integrate seamlessly into existing POS systems. Brandon Bucher Bio: Brandon is a veteran product leader and a long time bitcoin enthusiast and now Co-Founder and CEO at Lightning Pay, a New Zealand based bitcoin-only financial services company. Brandon is passionate about shepherding in the emergence of bitcoin from its current reputation as a speculative investment asset to its rightful place as better money, used for saving, investment, borrowing and spending.
