Pattie emphasized that money determines power dynamics in relationships and that women should have enough financial freedom to support themselves. They also discussed the societal expectations placed on women and the need for women to have the skills and knowledge to re-enter the workforce after raising children. Pattie shared her experience of starting her TikTok channel at 50 and the challenges women face in pursuing new opportunities after a long period of not working. They discussed the importance of having a strategy rather than just hoping for success. Pattie shared her experience of wanting to become financially responsible but relying on hope instead of planning. She emphasized the need for a plan, whether it's related to finances or career development, and the importance of budgeting and acquiring necessary skills. Dr. shared her experience of spending every dollar she made and not having a plan for the future, which led her to invest. Both agreed on the importance of having a plan for personal and financial growth. Pattie discusses the importance of investing for the future and shares her experience dating a financially unstable partner. She emphasizes that investing is simpler than many think, involving just a few steps and consistent contributions. Pattie explains that her book title, "Never Date a Broke Dude," stems from her own experience, which led her into significant debt and emotional distress. She acknowledges her complicity in the situation and highlights how societal pressures can lead people to prioritize relationships over financial stability. Pattie emphasized the importance of economic independence and self-worth in relationships, stating that when one partner feels they have no choice but to stay in a relationship, they may take advantage of the other. Pattie mentions that her book addresses this issue to help women realize their value and empower themselves to seek better treatment in relationships and life. *iTunes (https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/i...) *Google Play (https://play.google.com/music/m/Inpl5...) *Stitcher (https://www.stitcher.com/) *YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/DrFoojan) *Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/DrFoojanZeine/) *Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/Dr.FoojanZeine) *Twitter (https://www.twitter.com/DrZeine/) *LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/in/DrFoojanZeine) *Tiktok (https:///www.tiktok.com/dr.foojanzeine)

The Prime Minister accidentally ponders Winston's health and diet, an Indian FTA, the Investment Summit, changes to RMA, a lift in GDP, Winston wanting us out of the Paris Climate Agreement and whether the latter's war of words with Chris Hipkins will win the Nats the 2026 election by default.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Recently, New Zealand First leader, Winston Peters, proposed a new member's bill to be placed in the ballot, which aims to remove diversity, equity, and inclusion targets in the public sector. This bill would amend the Public Service Act, which Peter, and NZ First, voted for when in a coalition government with the Labour Party in 2020. Peters aims with this bill is to remove what he refers to as "woke left-wing social engineering and diversity targets in the public sector". For our weekly catchup with Te Pāti Māori's Takutai Kemp, News and Editorial Director and Monday Wire Host, Joel, spoke to her about this bill, and what the party thinks of this bill. We also spoke about the recent Infrastructure Investment Summit, as well as three of the original Whānau Ora commissioners losing their contracts. However, I started off by asking her why Peter's has switched up his stances on DEI in the public sector, as he, and NZ First, when in a coalition government with the Labour Party, voted for the Public Service Act in 2020.

It's been a very busy and important week for the Prime Minister. There was a reason he championed the Investment Summit and made himself available to attendees to a degree unusual for a Prime Minister at events like this. Plain and simple, he desperately needs it to be successful. He has staked his leadership on growing our economy, which includes creating an infrastructure pipeline and attracting the overseas finance to help get things done. It's going to take time to evaluate the summit's success, but the Prime Minister would have been buoyed to hear the Italian tunnelling company behind Auckland's massive Interceptor wastewater project say it will keep workers and machinery in New Zealand now the Government has outlined a proposed pipeline of infrastructure projects. That's an early win. And wins are what the Prime Minister and coalition need. Two polls this week showed support for Labour is higher than National, and Labour leader Chris Hipkins is overtaking Luxon as preferred Prime Minister. It's not just the National Party who will be concerned. The Taxpayers Union Poll saw ACT drop 2.3 to 7.7 percent and NZ First drop 1.3 to 5.1 percent. I know there's a lot of scepticism about polls. It's not as if Labour are presenting an alternative invigorating vision that's dragging voters over. The concern for the Government is they don't seem to need to; there's some wisdom in Labour sitting back and letting the Government lose support all on their own. The declining trend in popularity and the Prime Minister's inability to get traction will irk the hard-working coalition. Especially because they are undoubtedly hard working. But for voters, it only counts if it leads to results. The Prime Minister can't be panicked – he doesn't have time – but the pressure is on. Last night, Christopher Luxon headed off on his first visit to India as Prime Minister in an attempt to deliver another election promise by securing a free trade agreement during his first term in Government. Apparently, the best we can expect is to establish a timeframe for when they begin formal negotiations. Luxon needs to come home with this at a minimum. Next week also sees Foreign Affairs Minister Winston Peters in the US, discussing New Zealand's relationship with the Trump administration. Peters will meet with Secretary of State Marco Rubio and other US political contacts to discuss a wide range of international issues – including, no doubt, tariffs. Peters is the man for the job, but once again the pressure is on. As the Prime Minister and Government are learning, results take time. But voters are not as patient as they used to be – and their politics are centred on the cost-of-living and making ends meet. While there is no imminent danger to leadership, the polls are a flashing light that without some big wins soon, they may run out of time.

Wellington Mayor Tory Whanau is sounding off on the Prime Minister after failing to reach a deadline made for all councils. Councils were encouraged to deliver a plan that the Government could help with, and Wellington didn't deliver one in time. Whanau then said Prime Minister Christopher Luxon is 'not a very nice person.' Senior Political Correspondent Barry Soper said the Mayor thought the comment would work in her favour. "She said it works for her because a lot of people in Wellington don't like Luxon," he said. LISTEN ABOVE.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Government ministers have spent the day wooing potential investors, trying to convince them that New Zealand is the safest place for them to splash their cash. The Infrastructure Investment Summit has kicked off in Auckland, with companies controlling a collective 6 trillion dollars of assets and funds being asked to help cut down New Zealand's infrastructure deficit. Political reporter Giles Dexter has been at the summit.
Infrastructure New Zealand chief executive Nick Leggett was at the Global Investment Summit on Thursday and said he thought the government pitched the country well in its speeches. Leggett spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.
More than 100 companies & asset managers from across the globe descended on Auckland this morning.
I suppose technically it is only halfway through, with today still to go, but the Investment Summit looked good to me on day one. There seems no doubt that a lot of people with a lot of money turned up and some of them spoke of their desire to bid for projects. The Prime Minister, who needs some runs, I think has some and he hasn't even left for India. His pitch that we are a shelter from the storm was smart. He looked like he had done this before. Perhaps we are seeing a little bit of what all the other delegates on the international sojourns see - that this is what he does well. He networks, he presses flesh, he pumps ideas, and he has a plan. Nothing specific as in “sign on the dotted line” or "write a cheque here and now” will come out of this. But already you can see, given the thing is oversubscribed, that the Prime Minister is right - the world is awash with cash, and they are keen to invest. $6 trillion is a stunning amount of money and if only a small chunk of it comes our way, and if only a tiny slice builds some roads or future proofs some infrastructure, this will have all been worth it. Eventually the proof will be in the pudding. Someone needs a signing ceremony and maybe a spade or two to be stuck in some ground. But I got the sense, as a frustrated punter, that it is these sorts of days and events that make us look like we might be on some sort of path back. We looked a bit professional and interested and that we might just have some decent adults about the place looking to put our stake in the global game and bring the world, so long locked out of this place, back into the room. If Luxon leaves this and can come back with something tangible post India, then it may well be we feel things are starting to roll. As I have said many times, it is hard to overstate the economic carnage they were handed and it's still far from over. The immigration numbers just yesterday reminded us of this. No, they are not leaving in the numbers they once did, but they are still leaving, and the arrivals are slowing as well. Fewer people means less economic activity. But you fix all that with reputation - a reputation of a rock star, of a success story or of a go-getter. Yesterday, and hopefully today, it looks like they are part of that bigger success story.

A push for more infrastructure growth through foreign capital has piqued offshore interest. The Government's Investment Summit is in its second day in Auckland. More than 100 investors from around the world are attending to hear from ministers about potential projects and partnerships. ABRDN Infrastructure Head Bill Haughey told Mike Hosking his firm has the capacity to invest globally, but New Zealand's been relatively quiet in recent years. He says New Zealand's a place where the firm can do business if the pipeline is right and the Government's coming forward with the right kind of projects.

Investors are keen to see a long term pipeline of work - before committing to spending their money here. More than a hundred companies, managing about six trillion in capital, are at the Government's Infrastructure Investment Summit in Auckland. Brett Shepherd from Craigs Investment Partners says the Government's messages of support were well-received by the summit's attendees. "The commitment of the Prime Minister and the respective ministers to grow the economy on a consistent basis through partnership and infrastructure - that message was just resounding."

The Minister in charge of the Government's Infrastructure Investment Summit says deals will mostly be done in the coming weeks, months and years ahead. More than a hundred companies, managing about six trillion dollars in capital, are at the Government's two day summit in Auckland. But Chris Bishop says there's already been one tangible commitment from Australian investor Plenary group. "They've promised to set up a New Zealand office here and they've promised to bid on the next five PPP opportunities that come up - that is a commitment that they have just made, I think, in the last 24 hours, on the basis of what they heard at the summit and in the leadup to it.

The government's much vaunted investment summit is finally set to get underway in Auckland on Thursday. Political reporter Giles Dexter spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.
A lot's riding on the Government as it opens the country up to more offshore investment. Representatives of more than 100 foreign entities are in Auckland to eye up potential opportunities at the Infrastructure Investment Summit. The Government's hoping for more project funding and public-private partnerships. Chief Executive with infrastructure investor Morrison, Paul Newfield told Mike Hosking New Zealand needs to be painted as a great place to invest. He says the Government needs to present a multi-decade pipeline, a vision for what infrastructure could be, and a commitment to maintain work over successive governments.

A lot could be riding on the Government's upcoming global investment summit. Prime Minister Christopher Luxon's hoping to tease out more foreign financial investment in New Zealand's projects and industries at the two-day event in March But Simplicity Chief Executive Sam Stubbs says he's concerned Luxon will spend more time focused on offshore money than domestic money. He told Mike Hosking getting a dollar from overseas is a lot harder than getting a domestic dollar in the door. Stubbs says we'll need to be providing a lot of incentives, something we've typically steered clear of in the past, and you can't just set up an expo tent, sprinkle it with a few All Blacks and expect foreigners to invest in New Zealand - it's a competitive business. He says it's all very well to focus on the offshore money, but he thinks the size of the prize is much bigger domestically. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today, we look at the Government's attempts to attract billions in funding at a glitzy investment summit. Keir Starmer told investors at the event in the City of London that he will scrap regulation and red tape that “holds back investment”. BBC Business Editor, Simon Jack, tells Adam and Chris how it went. Plus, the public inquiry into the poisoning of a woman in Salisbury with Novichok. Dawn Sturgess died after being exposed to the same nerve agent used to target a former Russian military officer, Sergei Skripal, four months earlier. Marie Lennon, presenter of the Crime Next Door podcast, joins Adam.

This morning is the government's big investment summit. They pledged to have the summit within their first 100 days in an attempt to hit the ground running and show the UK as a sensible place to do business. The timing – two weeks before the budget – is interesting, and so is the U-turn from P&O, who will attend the summit despite comments last week by Transport Secretary Louise Haigh (she described the ferry company as a ‘rogue operator'). P&O's reported £1 billion worth of investment is back up for grabs. Is it time to invest in Britain? What is Labour's big pitch to business? Also on the podcast, over the weekend we had the sad news that former First Minister of Scotland Alex Salmond passed away. What will be his legacy? James Heale speaks to Katy Balls and Kate Andrews. Produced by Oscar Edmondson.
