Elliot Kim, CEO of Checkbox, explores why online survey tools are now largely a solved problem—and why the real differentiator lies in the company behind the product. He explains how Checkbox is building a people-first, purpose-driven business focused on trust, transparency, and customer-centric policies. Elliot also discusses Checkbox's broad range of research use cases, and explains how its combination of cloud and on-premise deployment options gives organizations greater control over sensitive data and supports data sovereignty requirements. The conversation also examines the challenges of modern B2B research, from identifying “dark” prospects outside CRM systems through awareness and perception surveys, to reaching niche audiences with small sample sizes. Elliot shares how persistence, creativity, trusted research panels, and aligned incentives all play a role in driving honest, high-quality responses.   About Checkbox Checkbox is a research-grade survey platform trusted by enterprises and public-sector organizations since 2002. With both SaaS and self-hosted deployment options, Checkbox gives teams full control over their data while making it easy to design, distribute, and act on research at scale.   About Elliot Kim Elliot Kim is the CEO of Checkbox and an engineer at heart with two decades of building and scaling products.

A father in Napier was fed up with boy racers keeping the household awake for months on end - and he eventually took matters into his own hands. In February, he grabbed his paintball gun, crept up to a vantage point with a good view of dozens of youths gathered around their cars, and fired 500 paintballs at them over several minutes. As a result, he was sentenced to 40 hours community work and had his paintball gun confiscated. Eastern District Prevention Manager Inspector Andy Sloan says he understands how frustrating this kind of anti-social behaviour can be. He explained they regularly follow-up on reports from the public, but information like vehicle registrations are useful for incidents like this.

14-year-old Kirsa Jensen was passionate about animals, especially horses. Living in Napier on New Zealand's North Island, there were many beautiful places to go riding. On September 1st 1983, Kirsa set off on her horse, 'Commodore', for Awatoto beach, a journey of around thirty minutes. Kirsa always came home by 5 pm, but on this day she failed to return. A massive search was soon underway, with several witnesses putting Kirsa in the presence of a man at an old concrete gun emplacement close to the beach. Further sightings followed, and a prime suspect soon emerged. Despite this, over 40 years since she was last seen, Kirsa remains missing.Sources for the episode can be found hereSupport the showFollow  Persons Unknown:  Instagram and FacebookEmail: personsunknownpod@gmail.comWebsite with Transcripts:https://personsunknown.buzzsprout.com/

Napier has been home to "open cry" wool auctions for 150 or so years, but last month it looked like the tradition was coming to an end.

Former Labour Cabinet Minister Stuart Nash says he's found his true home in New Zealand First. He's contesting the Napier electorate for the party this election - against National's Katie Nimon. Nash had to lay low last year after getting in hot water for making vulgar comments about women. He's taken aim at his former party, and claims NZ First is the only party that stands up for hard workers. "This is the party that works hard to celebrate success, it stands up for those that work the hardest as opposed to complain the loudest."

Leaders of the Napier Youth Council wrote to the chief executive of Napier City Council after a public event they attended, claiming Napier mayor Richard McGrath called them a 'bunch of idiots who can't use pen and paper'. McGrath denied he said that and said he believed the Youth Council had been unfairly dragged into a political game. Hawke's Bay editor Chris Hyde has been following from the sidelines and he says McGrath's been off to a rough start as mayor. "There are a lot of people still in the council who don't think that he is suitable for the job, and so he's had a really challenging six months."

Today I decided to do a Witness Wednesday about how God has been working in my life. I think it is just as important to talk about the little ways God is working as it is to talk about the big ways. Today I want to give you an update on how I can see Him blessing my life. First, I'll start with Noah going off to school. Noah applied pretty late compared to when I remember applying, and he didn't apply to many schools. He knew where he wanted to go—overseas—so most of his applications were in the United Kingdom. He chose Edinburgh Napier University in Scotland and found out in early June. That gave us three months to get everything ready. Going to school in another country is a lot of work. There were so many hoops—finding housing, registering, and getting a visa. It was long and tiring, but the Lord was with us. By the time we applied for his visa on August 14th, we were told it could take up to 15 working days. That would have meant arriving on the first day of classes. However, thanks to the Lord and the people at the passport office, we got it back in about a week. That also allowed us to find affordable plane tickets. I was able to go with Noah to get him settled. I was nervous leaving him in another country where he didn't know anyone. But thanks to the Lord, I was mostly able to focus on what an amazing adventure this would be for him. On the second day, we went to a store to pick up his residency permit. While there, we met another student who was also going to Napier. They are both engineering majors and found out they would be living in the same dorm building, just one floor apart. We also met his parents and exchanged information, which was so helpful. Suddenly, I wasn't doing all of this alone. Thank you, Lord. Noah moved in on Saturday, and I left Monday morning. Saying goodbye was hard, but I know the Lord is with him and that this will be an amazing year. Next, I want to share about my new job. I felt like this fall would bring a breakthrough. I had been praying about going back to work and thought about substitute teaching a few days a week. One morning at breakfast, a friend mentioned they were hiring coaches to work with people with autism. It sounded perfect. I love coaching, and this allowed me to continue doing that without having to find my own clients. It also gives me more time with my family. Then, out of the blue, a friend from Encounter Ministries reached out about another opportunity—working with women in a homeless ministry as a spiritual mother. I was so excited. I love walking with people in their faith, and I've always felt called to this kind of ministry. I spoke with the priest in charge, and we both felt it was a great fit. The commitment is about three hours a week, which works well with my other responsibilities. They are also studying Bob Schuchts' “Be Healed” model, which I had already read and loved. So not only do I get to walk with these women spiritually, but I also get to continue learning about healing. God is so good. He provided not only what I needed, but also what I longed for. The last thing I want to share is what happened when I met these women. They invited me for evening prayer, Mass, dinner, and the start of their study. It was beautiful, and they were so kind and welcoming. After dinner, we started talking about healing. One woman mentioned pain in her foot, so I prayed for her. After a minute or two, I asked her to move it, and the pain was gone. She was amazed. Another woman had a sprained wrist. I prayed for her, and at first she felt doubtful. She renounced that doubt and asked Jesus where He was. She felt like He said, “in your wrist.” When she moved it, the pain was completely gone. All of us were in awe. It's amazing how God cares even about smaller pains. When we ask, He answers. It was such a beautiful experience. I could see Christ in these women and how much they love the Lord. I don't know what is ahead, but I know God has something amazing planned. I hope when you hear this, you can see how God is working—not just in big miracles, but in the little things. Things like getting a visa back in time so Noah could arrive before classes started. I am so grateful for all the ways God is working in my life. He is such a good, good Father.

Yega Kumarappan explores how sales enablement has evolved from simple content distribution into an AI-driven discipline focused on helping sellers close deals. He explains how Paperflite has grown into an agentic platform that supports sales teams across the entire deal lifecycle, spanning prospect intelligence, content intelligence, conversation intelligence, deal intelligence, and AI-powered coaching. These capabilities help sellers access the right information at the right time, track buyer engagement, and predict deal outcomes with greater confidence. The conversation also highlights a broader shift in the market: ownership of sales enablement is moving from marketing to sales as AI makes its impact on revenue more measurable. Yega emphasizes that while content creation has become easier, distribution and ROI measurement are now the biggest challenges. Finally, he reflects on the growing importance of “knowledge sovereignty”—the need for organisations to capture and leverage their unique expertise—arguing that this will be critical for standing out in a world of increasingly generic AI tools.   About Paperflite Paperflite is a content experience and intelligence platform designed to help businesses maximise the impact of their content and drive stronger audience engagement. It enables teams to easily discover the most relevant content across the organisation, share it seamlessly across multiple channels, and track how audiences interact with it.
