Podcast appearances and mentions of Kelvin Davis

In this show, Lukie is joined by Tom Ivers, who has been on an awesome run.Ivers' great run in May includes: Naoya Inoue-Junto Nakatani, Fabio Wardley-Daniel Dubois, and now Filip Hrgovic-Dave Allen. Tom gives his thoughts on this. Then, we talk about Hrgovic-Allen. Why was it a thing? What is the sentiment about Allen that gives him so many chances? Also, Top Rank's debut on DAZN…thoughts? Plus, junior welterweight Keyshawn Davis won his rematch against Nahir “Woo” Albright, BUT he missed weight for the second time in three fights. This is not to be overlooked; yes, it was smaller in this instance, but it is a trend. What is bigger in your opinion, the fight result or the weigh-in story? Also, Brian Norman Jr gets a quick second-round stoppage win over Josh Wagner. Yan Santana won a close (and debatable) unanimous decision victory over Cristian Cruz. Oh, and Kelvin Davis won an uninspired split decision over Pete Dobson. On the way out, we talk about welterweight Paddy Donovan and his win over Karen Chukhadzhian. It was an IBF title eliminator, meaning the winner will face the winner of the current belt holder, Lewis Crocker versus Liam Paro, next month. Timestamps 0:00 intro 1:00 Tom's big month9:30 Keyshawn Davis 24:40 Hrgovic stops Dave Allen36:00 Undercard fights

If you struggle with boundaries, you can end up “nice”… and quietly miserable. Because when conflict shows up, you default to appeasing, avoiding, or people-pleasing. And then the same communication problems keep replaying until your emotional intimacy erodes. In this conversation, I'm joined by Kelvin Davis to talk about people pleasing, nice guy syndrome, and what it looks like to stop performing “niceness” and start showing up with honesty, courage, and self-respect. Kelvin shares how therapy helped him recognize his own people pleasing patterns, his fear of conflict, and the ways that conflict avoidance shaped his marriage, his identity, and his growth. If you've been trying to understand how to stop being a people pleaser, or why people pleasing keeps costing you closeness, clarity, and respect, this episode is for you. We're also talking about how to set boundaries without becoming cold, defensive, or rigid. Kelvin opens up about emotional avoidance, approval-seeking, and the painful moment of realizing that being liked is not the same thing as being respected. Together, we explore the hidden cost of conflict avoidance, the difference between being a “nice guy” and being a good man, and why emotional intimacy begins to erode when hard conversations never really happen. This is a thoughtful conversation about people pleasing, relationships, self-respect, and what it takes to choose growth over comfort. Kelvin Davis is the founder and creator of Notoriously Dapper, a body positive menswear blog showcasing outfits to inspire men of all sizes to find confidence in their appearance. Notoriously Dapper was created to inspire all men to embrace who they are. In this episode, he brings that same message of authenticity to emotional growth too: how to stop shrinking, how to set boundaries, and how to become someone who can stay kind without abandoning themselves. Episode Breakdown: 00:00 Nice Guy Syndrome and People-Pleasing 02:50 From Nice Guy to Good Man 08:49 Emotional Cheating and Emotional Intimacy 12:07 How to Set Boundaries 24:07 Choose Hard Now, Easy Later 34:20 Be Buffalo, Not Cows 39:06 Hard Conversations and Conflict Avoidance 53:56 Boundaries, Balance, and Respect If this conversation hit something tender in you, I'd love to offer you a way to take the next step. When you've spent a long time being the one who keeps the peace, avoids conflict, or bends yourself into whatever other people need, it can be hard to know how to begin doing something different. You deserve support with that. You can answer three quick questions so we can help you schedule a free consultation with the right expert on my team. It's private, secure, and only takes a couple of minutes. If you're ready to work on people pleasing, how to set boundaries, or the relationship patterns that keep replaying in your life, this is a warm, thoughtful place to begin. xoxo, Dr. Lisa Marie Bobby Growing Self Upwork — and it's a sponsorship I said yes to because I actually use it.

In this episode, I sit down with Kelvin Davis — fashion trailblazer, author of Be a Good Man Not a Nice Guy, creator of Notoriously Dapper, one of the first Black big-and-tall models for Gap and Target, and dad of two daughters. This one covers a wide range of territory — style, masculinity, nice guy syndrome, divorce, co-parenting, and raising daughters as a single dad — and somehow manages to be one of the most fun and most real conversations we've had on this show. We start with style — and not the surface-level kind. Kelvin breaks down why how you dress is actually a statement about how you see yourself, how the right fit and color unlocks a level of confidence that can't be faked, and why most guys are unknowingly dressing for a version of themselves they no longer are. Then we get into the heart of the show: the difference between a good man and a nice guy. Kelvin draws the line clearly — nice guys are motivated by approval and the avoidance of conflict, good men are grounded in purpose, principles, and accountability. He gets deeply honest about his own nice guy patterns, including a porn addiction and seeking emotional connection outside his marriage, and how staying in a relationship he knew wasn't right ended up costing him and his daughters dearly. We dig into his divorce — how the girls responded, the pressure to pick sides, the importance of therapy, and what happened when his daughters moved to Tennessee and their relationship actually deepened over FaceTime. And we close with a powerful conversation about what Kelvin believes a dad's real job is: not to be liked, but to get your kids ready for the world.   Timeline Summary [0:00] Introduction to the Dad Edge mission and the movement to raise leaders of families and communities [1:01] Introducing Kelvin Davis — style, Notoriously Dapper, big and tall modeling, and Be a Good Man Not a Nice Guy [4:58] Kelvin's backstory — knowing from age eight that fashion was his calling and going back to speak at his old elementary school [9:23] Larry's story with style expert Tanner Gazi — and the fat kid still living inside him who wears dark colors to hide [12:58] What style actually is — and why the right fit unlocks confidence that cannot be faked [14:03] How to build a base wardrobe — know your true size, nail the fit, then add accessories to elevate everything [16:52] What happens when you walk into a room dressed confidently — including the people who love it and the ones who resent it [19:53] How Kelvin learned to stop caring what people think — and why we all care to some degree [23:50] Introducing Be a Good Man Not a Nice Guy — how Kelvin defines the difference [24:36] Nice guys are motivated by approval and conflict avoidance — good men are grounded in purpose and values [27:25] Covert contracts, people pleasing, and why nice guys always eventually fall apart [29:01] Kelvin's nice guy symptoms — avoiding accountability, gaslighting, saying yes to everyone at the cost of himself [31:33] The one place Kelvin's nice guy syndrome never showed up — fatherhood [33:34] Why dads who weren't loved well as kids tend to over-serve their kids — and why holding the line is still the right move [35:08] What Kelvin's daughters would have picked up on if he'd stayed in a marriage where he wasn't showing up as his true self [37:03] The guilt and shame of a pregnancy that forced a marriage — and admitting the foundation was never really there [40:37] Seeking emotional connection outside the marriage — and the fear that keeps nice guys trapped [41:38] The unexpected peace of living alone for the first time after the divorce [43:37] How the girls responded when he moved out — the pressure to pick sides and what Kelvin told them [45:32] Kids hear everything — the damage done when adults talk about each other in front of their children [46:22] Therapy for the girls starting in 2022 — what the therapist revealed about the older daughter's emotional burden [47:31] His job was to carry his own anger — not put it on his daughters [49:28] His 15-year-old's personality emerging — meeting her where she is and becoming more of a collaborator [50:43] Since the girls moved to Tennessee, their relationship has deepened more over FaceTime than it ever did in person [52:08] Creating psychological safety — how connection is the foundation of all influence as a dad [53:28] When mom was more friend than parent — and why the oldest pushes back on her but never on Kelvin [55:46] My job is not to be your friend — it's to get you ready for the world [57:21] Larry's 18-year-old in the 1,000 pound club — and the moment your kid surpasses you is the moment you know you did your job   Five Key Takeaways Style is not vanity — it's communication. How you dress tells the world and yourself who you are. If you've been hiding behind dark colors and ill-fitting clothes, ask yourself what you're really trying to hide. The difference between a nice guy and a good man is what drives them. Nice guys chase approval and avoid conflict. Good men are grounded in purpose, values, and accountability — and people feel that difference. Your kids are watching everything — including how you treat their mother, who you are when your guard is down, and whether the man at home is the same man everyone else gets. They will model it. Your job as a dad is not to be liked — it's to get your kids ready for the world. That means holding the line, teaching respect, and preparing them for authority figures, hard seasons, and life without you. Psychological safety is what makes your kids come to you. Connection comes first. Without it, you have no influence — no matter how many rules you set or sacrifices you make.   Links & Resources Dad Edge Alliance & Business Boardroom: https://thedadedge.com/mastermind The Men's Forge: https://themensforge.com Be a Good Man Not a Nice Guy by Kelvin Davis: Available on Amazon Notoriously Dapper website: https://notoriouslydapper.com Follow Kelvin on Instagram: @kelvindavis Follow Notoriously Dapper on TikTok: @notoriouslydapper Episode Link & Resources (Episode 1463): https://thedadedge.com/1463   Closing If there's one message from this episode that stands out, it's this: your kids don't need you to be their friend — they need you to be the man they can model their entire life after. Kelvin Davis built a brand around showing up as your true self — unapologetically, consistently, and confidently. But it took a failed marriage, a divorce, and years of self-work to get there. And out of all of it, he's built a deeper relationship with his daughters than he ever had when they lived under the same roof. That's what happens when a man stops performing and starts leading. If this episode resonated with you, share it with a dad who needs to hear it. Go out and live legendary.

The brutal death of that poor wee boy Malachi is a disgrace. It's heartbreaking to think an adult could be so cruel to young child. Malachi was beaten, starved, thrown against walls... you name it. Basically torture. Now we have these debates popping up about it. Should the Minister front for interviews? Karen Chhour, herself a product of the foster care system, was criticised yesterday for attending a pre-planned lunch event to eat some lamb on Parliament's lawn. She should have, according to the RNZ story, presumably been inside answering questions about why more wasn't being done about this boy's murder, which you might recall was back in 2021. Kelvin Davis, you may also recall, came in for a hammering from the media when was Minister. So, I think we should all be really clear, neither Karen nor Kelvin nor any politicians are responsible for the deaths of babies. The fact there is no culprit for the death of Baby Ru in the Hutt is, you could say, the fault of the Police. But ultimately, as with all these cases, fault ultimately lies with those who do the killing, and those who do the covering up. You know, the family who won't speak to Police. The partner who won't do in their other half. They're the real culprits here. Yes, there are things we can learn. Things we can do. Things we change. We can change the name of the agency. We can add a red-flag system. We can appoint a Children's Commissioner. But ultimately none of it does much good, does it? We average around 10 or 11 kids killed by homicide ever year. Ask OT, or CYFs before them, and they'll tell reports of abuse seem to be trending down, but they have a new thing called reports of concern which are going up. We actually don't know if it's getting better or worse because of there's a data lag - I know, incredible. But you'd have to say, on the whole, the picture's not rosy, and no amount of stalking MPs around Parliament is going to fix it. Any fix, surely, has to happen inside the home.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Author and modern masculinity advocate Kelvin Davis joins us to explore the difference between being a “nice guy” and being a good man. Drawing from his upcoming book, Kelvin shares seven transformative principles—from setting boundaries to self-respect—that challenge performative niceness and promote authentic integrity. We dive into how social media often rewards superficial validation over sincere action, and why honest communication matters more than ever. Kelvin reflects on his inspiring journey—from a childhood dream sparked by a JCPenney ad to founding Notoriously Dapper, overcoming body-shaming, and building a modeling career rooted in body positivity and self-worth. He opens up about personal growth through therapy, quitting alcohol, and reevaluating relationships during the pandemic. This candid conversation highlights the power of self-reflection, discipline, and internal validation. Whether you're navigating modern relationships or redefining your role as a man, this episode offers grounded insight into becoming the kind of man who leads with honesty, respect, and purpose.--------- EPISODE CHAPTERS ---------(0:00:01) - Masculinity and Being a Good Man(0:11:20) - Journey to Being a Good Man(0:21:06) - Navigating Boundaries and Personal Growth(0:30:22) - Internal Validation and Gratitude Practice(0:43:43) - Honesty, Trust, and Growth(0:47:30) - Navigating Vulnerability and Personal Growth(0:59:53) - Navigating Overwhelm and Internal Dialogue(1:04:10) - Navigating Respect and Self-AssertionSend us a text

We highlight the contrast between performative posturing and authentic growth, featuring a post from Kelvin Davis as a grounded example. We also critique how workouts like Murph get hijacked by social media.

Stuart Nash has hit out at his former Labour colleagues over changes to laws targeting gangs he wanted to introduce, but which others wouldn't progress due to fears they would unfairly target Māori. Last year the Labour government changed the Criminal Proceeds (Recovery) Act to allow police to seize gang leaders' property, such as cars and bikes, if valued over $30,000 and if it could not be proven they were paid for legitimately.  But then-police minister Nash wanted the threshold lowered to $0 - a plan he says was dashed by Labour's Minister of Justice Kiri Allan over concerns it would hurt Māori and would contravene the Bill of Rights.  Speaking to Newstalk ZB's Mike Hosking this morning, Nash hit out again at Allan, saying at the time his view was “pull your bloody head in”.  He strongly denied that such a move was aimed at or would hurt Māori, saying police were “race-agnostic” when it came to dealing with gangs.  Nash told Hosking this morning the conversation was not held in Cabinet - which would make it confidential - but was a conversation he had as soon as he became Police Minister.  He believed $30,000 was too high a threshold because “you can engineer a sale where you can buy a Harley for under $30,000”.  Nash - who took over as Police Minister from Chris Hipkins when the latter became Prime Minister - said the first thing he did in the role was talk to Hipkins about dropping the seizure limit to $0.  “He said, ‘Well, see if you can get it past Kiri [Allan]. And I went to Kiri and said this is what I want to do. And she said ‘No, we need to leave it at $30,000.'”  Nash then asked to take the issue to Cabinet.  “And she said ‘No, this is what it's going to be.' She obviously went to Hipkins and Hipkins said, ‘Okay, we're going to leave it at $30,000′. Why? Because it's anti-Māori. Bulls***.”  Former Justice Minister Kiri Allan dismissed Stuart Nash's desire to crackdown on gangs, Nash says. Photo / Mark Mitchell  Nash claimed police were “race-agnostic” when it came to gangs.  “It doesn't matter if they're Māori, European, Chinese, Indian, what ethnicity - a gang member is a gang member is a gang member and they need to be held to account.”  Nash said the harm gangs perpetrated across communities, including destroying communities through methamphetamine, meant “we need to go really hard” on them.  “I think the men and women in our [police] service do an absolutely brilliant job. But we, as politicians, have got to give them the tools to do this.”  Asked by Hosking if it was fair to say the incident showed a strong Māori caucus in Labour who were protecting “Māori behaviour and Māori issues”, Nash said that was not a fair statement.  He believed Kelvin Davis - who is Māori - would have backed him if the issue had been taken to Cabinet.  Asked if the spat showed Hipkins was a weak leader, Nash said he believed “in this case, he got it wrong”.  “I think he misjudged New Zealanders' appetite to really go incredibly hard against the gangs.”  Labour had done some good things - “we changed the firearms rules, actually the bikes that were crushed over the weekend were crushed under Labour legislation...but we need to go harder”.  Nash said Labour would need to position itself as tough on gangs if it had any hope of winning the next election.  Allan said she did not want to comment on Nash's version of events.  “Let me put it this way. I wouldn't waste my time or energy responding to a person seeking relevance and attention by misrepresenting facts. If this is how he wants to get into the media, all power to him.”  -NZ Herald LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's been a fiery start to the Waitangi Day event, with protestors heckling Winston Peters and David Seymour and the new Government being called 'spiders' and 'a den of lions' by Kelvin Davis. Will this sway anybody in Government from their agenda? It's come to light that taxpayers paid $340 million to subsidise EV purchases, because the subsidy was so popular and the ute tax didn't bring in enough to pay for it all. Was that a waste of money or reason for celebration? LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Senior Labour MP Kelvin Davis has called time on politics so as not to grow "bitter" and "angry" on the opposition benches. The former deputy leader has held ministerial roles in Corrections, Maori-Crown Relations, Children and Tourism. He says it's now up to his colleagues to advocate for Maori-Crown relations - and has laid down a challenge for the new government. Our political reporter Anneke Smith has more.

Chris Hipkins has survived to fight another day as Labour leader, winning the support of his caucus colleagues in a confidence vote. Carmel Sepuloni will take over as deputy from Kelvin Davis. The party's MPs met at a conference room in Upper Hutt today to thrash out their election defeat and map a way forward. They emerged with a blank slate on policy, which mean a capital gains or wealth tax could be back on the table for next election. Here's our deputy political editor Craig McCulloch.

Labour Party leader Chris Hipkins says nothing is off the table as his party looks to reset in the wake of a big election defeat. Hipkins was reconfirmed as leader on Tuesday, and policies he had vetoed ahead of the election, such as a wealth or capital gains tax, could be back on the menu. Carmel Sepuloni has also taken over as deputy leader, from Kelvin Davis. Former Labour Party MP Sue Moroney spoke to Susie Ferguson.

Chris Hipkins has survived as Labour leader, after securing the confidence of his Caucus in a vote this morning. Carmel Sepuloni was unanimously voted in as Labour Deputy - taking the place of Kelvin Davis, who stepped down. Hipkins also confirmed he plans to run for Prime Minister in 2026, and all previously canned policies are back on the table including capital gains and wealth taxes. ZB political editor Jason Walls says Labour would be better off re-evaluating several key policies, but they should consider leaving wealth taxes alone.

While National lost two seats in the special vote count, Te Pāti Māori picked up two - putting them in a record-breaking position of taking six of seven Māori seats. Takutai Tarsh Kemp has taken the Tāmaki Makaurau seat from Peeni Henare, and Mariameno Kapa-Kingi has taken Te Tai Tokerau from Kelvin Davis. The extra two seats have created an overhang of two, bringing the total number of seats in the house to 123. Te Pāti Māori co-leader Debbie Ngarewa-Packer spoke to Corin Dann.

It's almost a clean sweep for Te Pati Maori, snatching another two maori electorate seats from Labour on the special vote count. On election night it was buzzing to secure four of the seven. But now its also taken Tamaki Makaurau by a whisker, just a four vote majority. It also turned Te Tai Tokerau, ousting Labour's Deputy leader Kelvin Davis. Prior to the election he'd said he would resign if he didnt hold his seat. Ko taku manuhiri inaianei ko John Tamihere, Te Pati Maori President speaks to Lisa Owen.

Tonight on The Huddle - Three's Patrick Gower and Auckland Councillor Richard Hills joined in on a discussion about the following issues of the day - and more! The special votes are finally out, and National's two lost seats have all but confirmed they have to form a three-way coalition with ACT and Winston Peters. It's also been a horror day for Labour, after only just clinging onto Mt Albert by 20 votes, and both the Greens and Te Pāti Māori making huge grounds on their special vote speciality. And Labour deputy Kelvin Davis has announced he'll stay on as leader of Labour's Māori caucus, after losing his Te Tai Tokerau seat to Mariameno Kapa-Kingi.

Last Monday when I was hosting afternoon talkback I got a pithy little text that said "We've got rid of the clownshow and here comes the 3-ring circus."  It's pretty funny because it's pretty true and it's happened.  The counting of the special votes has confirmed that Luxon and Seymour need Winston and as we all know Seymour and Peters are not BEST friends. Critics warn of a conservative coalition of chaos. That won't be so but only if it's a coalition of compromise. It could be worse. Labour, the Greens, New Zealand First and Te Pāti Māori together have 63 seats. In a parliament of 123, that means they could have theoretically stolen the election. So thank Chris Hipkins for ruling Winston Peters out before the election.  Now the horse-trading begins and the fight for influence between ACT and New Zealand First and the question exists as to who National will owe more to. The larger party, ACT, or the smaller party, New Zealand First, that gives them the final vital votes to form the government.  It's the age-old question of coalitions — the saga of the tail and the dog.  Meanwhile, the special votes have no good news for Labour. The final upshot is that just 26.9 per cent of New Zealand voted for the party. A sad result after over 50 per cent supported the party a short 3 years ago.  The ultimate sign of the disaffection is Mt Albert where Helen White has held on but with an even smaller majority than on election night. In 2020 the majority was 20 thousand votes. Now it's just 20. A brutal swing which shows the verdict on the party, the policies and the candidate. There is no way that Helen can continue to say she's done well.  And despite all the concessions Labour made to their Māori caucus and the policies that gave many New Zealanders conniptions, Māori have turned around and given their seats to Te Pāti Māori. The ultimate snub was to Labour's deputy leader Kelvin Davis, who has lost his seat. And if he's true to his word then he'll have to resign. Which can I say might be a blessing for Labour as it tries to rebuild.  So here we are with a parliament of 122 seats about to become 123 under the bizarre vagaries of MMP. Certainly, if we had First past the Post this would have been a more clearcut process of government formation. But we don't.  We have what we have and it's now over to our political leaders to show the maturity to stitch together a stable government to lead us through a period of time that becomes more complicated as time goes by. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Northland's general electorates have been swept up in the blue wave engulfing New Zealand. Although, in the Maori electorate, Te Tai Tokerau, Labour's Kelvin Davis holds a slender lead. In a region where there's a huge gap between the haves and have-nots, there's been a major swing away from Labour. Reporter Jimmy Ellingham and producer Matthew Theunissen have the story.

Labour's Corrections Spokesperson is unfazed by Government's move to drop its prison population reduction target.   The party has scrapped its 2017 promise to bring numbers down by 30% within 15 years.  Kelvin Davis told Mike Hosking that they were facing a prison capacity crisis in 2017, but that's changed.   He says re-sentencing rates after 12 months have dropped 11% since 2017, showing there's been a number of success stories.  Davis is fairly relaxed about the Government's position on prison numbers.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Younger teenagers could still end up in the government's newly announced youth justice units, despite the Children's Minister saying he would prefer that doesn't happen. Two new units located in Auckland and Christchurch will accommodate up to 30 teenagers needing the highest level of care. The units will predominantly cater for older teenagers. But the Children's Minister, Kelvin Davis, could not categorically state a minimum age. Davis spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

The five remaining young people on the roof of an Auckland youth justice facility in Wiri in South Auckland have come down last night. Eight had originally climbed onto the roof at Korowai Manaaki centre on Saturday, five were still up there last night, but three of them came down at about 6:30pm, and the final two chose to come down just after 10:30pm. All of these young people are safe, off site and in Police custody. The Children's and Corrections Minister, Kelvin Davis, spoke to Corin Dann.

The Children's Minister admits he got his tone wrong when using an urgent debate on misconduct allegations at Oranga Tamariki to attack Christopher Luxon.
