Credit to those 120 business people who went along to hear Chris Hipkins' State of the Nation address yesterday, hosted by the Auckland Business Chamber. Credit to those few people who watched it live, like my colleague Mike Hosking. My word, it was dull. And that is not me being a lickspittle mouthpiece for the Tory overlords. Have a listen to this: “I know we didn't get everything right when we were in government last time. Many of you have been very clear on what you think we did wrong. But one thing is clear, we were trying to do too much, too fast, and we weren't focused enough. We're going to be making further announcements later in the year as we get closer to the election. But I want to be very, very clear on this. I want to know that I can deliver on any promises that I make. That's the standard that I'll be holding myself to and our next Labour Government to. “Because frankly, Kiwis have had enough of promises that aren't kept. And I don't want to repeat that cycle. We won't try and do everything in our first term. We'll be focusing on what matters the most and delivering on those things. I'm not promising perfection. Where we make mistakes, I'll take responsibility for those. But I'm promising this: a government that puts the cost of living first, a government that partners with business to create jobs and raise wages, a government that invests in our people and backs our potential. Not just managing the country, building it.” Yes. So there was another 20 odd minutes of the same, 20 odd minutes. He banged on about affordability, that word was used a lot. Repeated the mantra I first heard when he came in for the quarterly catch up, and which we will no doubt hear throughout the campaign: jobs, health, homes. He went big on renewable energy, promised Labour would scrap the Government's proposed gas import terminal. Also went big on his future fund. As speeches go, he was no JFK. It is not one for the history books. But commentators say that was by design, like Tim Murphy from Newsroom. Tim says this was Labour trying to convey maturity, a little contrition, humility, and to claim it could be the adult in the room now and after the November 7 election. Luke Malpass from The Press says the speech was to present as a calm port in a cost of living storm, to be dependable, reliable, and boring even. That was the aim. Well, that's something Labour's achieved. Above all else, says Luke, at this stage of the game, to not change the strategy that has served Labour well so far, which is not say much, not do much, not announce much. And it has worked for them. When there is nothing that you can argue against, it's steady as she goes. They're just letting the Coalition Government make mistakes, or not work fast enough, or not be snazzy enough for the electorate, and they're just sitting there and collecting the votes of the centre, who are underwhelmed by the Coalition Government. Basically, they're saying vote for this Chris because he's not Christopher Luxon and we're not National. But that works both ways. You might not be wowed by the Coalition Government and the Prime Minister, but the message could be at least they're not Labour, Greens, and Te Pāti Māori, and at least Christopher Luxon isn't the Chris that was in charge last time.

When a newsroom can't hire reporters, the problem isn't always pay — sometimes it's rent. In one coastal community, the cost of living got so high that journalists simply couldn't afford to cover the news. So instead of raising salaries or cutting coverage, the solution took an unexpected turn: they bought a condo. It's a bold move that may point to a new model for keeping local journalism alive.

In this episode of Adventures in Journalism, Martin Hesp takes us behind the lens of his latest novel, The Cornish Snapper: The Granite Mystery. Can a non-police sleuth still exist in the modern age of forensics and cordoned-off crime scenes? Martin argues they can—if they're carrying a press pass and a digital camera. He discusses the "brainwave" that turned a seasoned, world-weary reporter into the Dr. Watson for a sharp-witted, tech-savvy press photographer's Sherlock Holmes. Highlights include: The 2002 Debate: How a BBC Radio 4 discussion on the "death of crime fiction" challenged Martin to find a new kind of detective. The "Snapper" Dynamic: Why the pairing of a veteran journalist and a modern photographer creates the perfect investigative duo. A Newlyn Awakening: Listen to an exclusive reading from the book's opening chapter, capturing the salt, grit, and authenticity of a Cornish fishing port at dawn. Journalism vs. Fiction: Reflections on how 50 years in the newsroom provides the ultimate toolkit for building a believable mystery. The Cornish Snapper is available now.

About 25% of Americans can't get a credit card from a major bank, and more than half are one or two missed paychecks from a credit crisis. Yet most financial institutions still design their products for prime borrowers and pretend the rest of the market doesn't exist.In this episode of Banking Transformed, I sit down with Steve Min, Chief Credit Officer at Credit One Bank, who has built a business around the customers most banks would rather turn away. We talk about why two-thirds of consumers don't understand the basics of how their credit score is calculated, why the stigma around imperfect credit keeps people from getting help, and what it actually takes to rebuild a credit profileSteve explains how Credit One approaches risk differently, why its Credit Wreckers program teaches people what not to do with their credit, and how building financial momentum can help borrowers qualify for better products over time. If your institution claims to serve the underserved, this conversation will challenge whether you're actually doing it.Resources:CreditWreckers.comForWhatsAhead.comThis episode of Banking Transformed is sponsored by Credit One Bank Credit One Bank is a financial services company and one of the fastest-growing credit card issuers in the U.S. Founded in 1984 and headquartered in Las Vegas, Credit One Bank offers a full spectrum of credit card products including cash back and points-based cards as well as high-yield certificate of deposit and savings accounts.

Is this the most powerful network switch ever built? In this interview from Cisco Live, we look at the new generation of Cisco 8000 and Nexus switches capable of routing 100 Terabits per second. We break down why AI data centers are forced to move from air cooling to liquid cooling, and how a single switch chassis can now handle the equivalent mobile traffic of 100 million people. AI models are growing faster than the infrastructure can keep up. To solve this, the network switch had to evolve. In this video, I talk to Will from Cisco about the engineering challenges of building the "G300" generation of switches, hardware so dense that air cooling is no longer enough. We discuss the massive architectural shift occurring in data centers, where Liquid Cooled Switches are becoming the new standard to support 1.6T Ethernet ports and massive GPU clusters. Key Hardware Topics: • The 100 Terabit Chassis: How Cisco architecture handles massive throughput. • Liquid Cooling: Why switches are adopting "direct-to-chip" cooling just like gaming rigs. • Scale-Out Networking: How these switches manage congestion for AI training jobs (Job Completion Time). • Career Insights: Will manages 5,000 engineers and explains why understanding the physical layer and hardware constraints is a superpower for modern developers.

Artificial Intelligence has become a part of our lives today and can do everything that humans once relied on their education and expertise for. However, in her latest article for Newsroom, the University of Auckland's Senior Lecturer of Marketing, Professor Shahper Richter, says humans get to decide AI's future. She says the values programmed into AI softwares don't necessarily fit the culture in Aotearoa, and that humans can still take their autonomy back from AI.
Gene Sperling — the only person to serve as Director of the National Economic Council under two presidents (Clinton and Obama), a senior advisor to President Biden who oversaw the American Rescue Plan, and a consultant and co-writer on NBC's The West Wing — joins the Chuck Toddcast for a wide-ranging conversation. Sperling shares the wild story of how he ended up in Santa Monica, his brush with Aaron Sorkin's legal troubles, and his insider take on how real Washington compares to its fictional portrayals. The conversation then turns to Sperling's deep expertise on the economy, from his defense of the Biden administration's "soft landing" amid global post-Covid inflation to the political lessons of how rising prices have sunk presidencies on both sides of the aisle — including Biden's own re-election bid. The back half of the episode looks squarely at the future. Sperling, who says he's unlikely to serve in another Democratic administration, offers a forceful argument about what comes next: the rising threat of unchecked corporate and tech power, the urgent need for AI policy that puts working people first, and the lessons of globalization that policymakers can't afford to repeat. Drawing on themes from his book Economic Dignity, he makes the case that Americans are hungry for leaders who pair optimism with a real confrontation of economic injustice — and warns that a handful of AI and crypto companies, flush with lobbying dollars, could end up shaping the structure of the economy if left unchallenged.

Chuck Todd takes a hard look at the state of American governance and institutional trust — or the lack of it. He starts by reflecting on the historical significance of three consecutive one-term presidents, ranking his top five most underrated commanders-in-chief and arguing that both Biden and Trump are unlikely to be viewed as consequential a century from now. From there, Todd pivots to a searing indictment of the current moment: from the Epstein reckoning exposing the government's inability to tell the truth, to DHS being treated as a political plaything by Kristi Noem and Corey Lewandowski, to the DOD endangering lives in the El Paso FAA incident with zero accountability, to Moderna alleging that HHS refused to even review an mRNA flu vaccine under RFK Jr.'s watch. He connects the dots across a pattern of institutional dishonesty — a Justice Department focused on narrative management, masked ICE agents no one can justify, a fired antitrust chief clearing the way for powerful interests, and a "hostage system" style of governing that holds federal paychecks as leverage — making the case that when the government lies this often, it forfeits the benefit of the doubt on everything, and that the Epstein scandal isn't just a story about one man, but a mirror reflecting a system designed to protect the powerful. Then, Gene Sperling — the only person to serve as Director of the National Economic Council under two presidents (Clinton and Obama), a senior advisor to President Biden who oversaw the American Rescue Plan, and a consultant and co-writer on NBC's The West Wing — joins the Chuck Toddcast for a wide-ranging conversation. Sperling shares the wild story of how he ended up in Santa Monica, his brush with Aaron Sorkin's legal troubles, and his insider take on how real Washington compares to its fictional portrayals.

This week on MoneyFM 89.3’s Saturday Sit‑Down on the Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys speak with the trio behind one of Singapore’s most influential storytelling powerhouses: Peh Shing Huei, Aaron Low, and Sue‑Ann Chia, co‑founders of Nutgraf. What began in 2015 as a small “writers‑for‑hire” outfit run by three former Straits Times journalists has grown into an award‑winning strategic content agency trusted with some of Singapore’s most significant political biographies—including the two‑volume autobiography of former Prime Minister Goh Chok Tong, Neither Civil Nor Servant: The Philip Yeo Story, and a long list of national‑level publications. The founders share how a simple business model—just the three of them writing everything themselves—evolved into a 23‑person agency producing videos, social media campaigns, strategic communications, and thought‑leadership content. Along the way, Nutgraf became the go‑to team for capturing complex policy stories, institutional histories, and the personal journeys of Singapore’s political heavyweights. We explore how they earned the trust to tell these stories, what it takes to write about leaders who shaped the nation, and how content consumption has changed over the past decade.

Julia Manning is the Chief of Staff of Communications at the Concussion and CTE Foundation, where she directs all storytelling and media content. She is a four-time Emmy Award-winning television producer and the host of Invisible Impact, a podcast dedicated to sharing authentic, unfiltered stories of life after concussion.Julia's own concussion story began in 2017 with what seemed like a minor accident—she stood up too fast after tying her shoes and slammed the back of her head into a kitchen countertop. What she assumed would be a few days of rest turned into nearly a decade of post-concussion syndrome (PCS), forcing her to leave the high-stakes, high-stimulation world of TV news production that she had worked her entire career to build.After years of pushing through symptoms, navigating fragmented healthcare, and grieving the loss of her identity, Julia found her way to the Concussion and CTE Foundation. There, she transformed her pain into purpose—helping others feel seen, heard, and supported through their own recovery journeys.In this conversation, Julia brings warmth, honesty, and hard-won wisdom to the table. Summary of the EpisodeIn this deeply honest and hopeful episode, Bethany Lewis sits down with Julia Manning to unpack the messy, nonlinear reality of post-concussion syndrome. Julia shares how a concussion unraveled her Emmy-winning career in TV news and sent her into a years-long battle with debilitating symptoms—including extreme light sensitivity, cognitive fog, and migraines so severe she feared they would never end.But this isn't just a story about what was lost. It's a story about what was found.Julia walks us through the moments where her recovery shifted: when she stopped chasing her "old self," the therapy she initially resisted that ended up being a game-changer, and the mindset reframe that helped her see the power of gratitude.She also pulls back the curtain on her work at the Concussion and CTE Foundation, explaining the critical difference between concussion and CTE, and sharing details about their free helpline—a resource that connects sufferers with trusted providers, peer support, and educational materials.Whether you are five days or five years into your recovery, this episode offers a powerful reminder: You are not broken. You are not alone. And your story isn't over.Key TakeawaysWhy Julia's "mild" concussion turned into a decade of symptoms—and what she wishes she had done differentlyHow to know when pushing through is actually pushing you backwardThe grief of losing a career and identity—and how to build a new oneConcussion vs. CTE: A clear, simple explanationHow loved ones can support someone with PCS without adding pressureThe power of living "day by day" and finding gratitude in small winsResources Mentioned: Concussion and CTE FoundationA nonprofit organization dedicated to solving the concussion crisis, accelerating research, and supporting those affected by concussion and CTE.Main Website: concussionandcte.orgHelpline (Free Resource): concussionandcte.org/helplineFill out a form to be connected with a case coordinator who can provide trusted provider referrals, peer support, educational materials, and more.Invisible Impact Podcast (Hosted by Julia Manning):https://concussionandcte.org/pcs-resources/invisible-impact-podcast/A podcast featuring real, raw conversations with individuals navigating life after concussion.Instagram (Foundation): @concussionandcteInstagram (Personal): @juliamanning2The previous Concussion Coach Podcast episodes that were mentioned:Grief and Concussions: An Interview with Krista St-Germain & Becky BarnettCTE: UofU Lineman Greg Newman's Story: Interview with Laura DyerConcussion Recovery Art: An Interview with Allison Moir-SmithSupport for Concussed Moms: An Interview with Allison Moir-Smith
