The past few months have changed everything for Che, and in this episode he and Di work through what that actually means for his personal and professional life heading into the year ahead.They cover the weight goal (and the moment Che realised Doc had been quietly protecting his diet during pregnancy), why Di wants him to cross "investment property" off his goals list and replace it with something else entirely, how routine works both for and against you, and the one question that closes the episode out: are you proud of where you are?An honest, and genuinely funny conversation. This is ABO at its best.Topics covered:Life with a newborn and the work-life juggleBeing a present father AND a providerThe weight goal, the why behind it, and Di's simple framework for making it stickInvestment property vs. investment plan - Di challenges one of NZ's most default financial goalsKnow your numbers: in business, at home, and in investmentsReflecting on the infamous episode from last year - and what was really going on behind the scenes

43-year-old Rebecca may have wondered what kept her ex, 46-year-old Seamus, from acting on his feelings. Like many men after a breakup, Seamus struggled to make sense of Rebecca's behavior, leaving him uncertain about how to reopen communication—and choosing inaction instead. In this episode of Make Him Wonder, we peel back the curtain on how men reach certainty, why time alone doesn't equal disinterest, and why—when a man wants you back—he eventually acts.

Liam Messam is one of the most beloved figures in New Zealand rugby. Two-time Super Rugby champion, All Black, World Cup winner, and a 20-year servant of the Chiefs. But behind the jersey is a story most people have never heard.Adopted at six weeks old into a Rotorua family that went on to foster close to a thousand children, Liam opens up about identity, belonging, and the household that gave him everything he is today.In this episode we get into the conversation with Gordon Titchens at 16 that changed the trajectory of his career, being cut from the 2011 World Cup squad and walking through Auckland Airport alone into a media scrum, what Chiefs Mana actually means and where it came from, why Gilbert Enoka personally called him to be part of the 2023 World Cup Human Library alongside Dan Carter, Richie McCaw and Keven Mealamu, leading the haka for the All Blacks after being voluntold by Keven Mealamu, getting a yellow card as a water boy at the World Cup, and completing an Ironman at 108kg with almost no marathon training.Plus lessons from Richie McCaw, Sonny Bill Williams and Dave Rennie, why he signed his last Waikato contract for $1, and how losing his mum to dementia shaped the brain health supplement brand he's building today.Steve and Seamus are proud to be dressed by the legends at Barkers Clothing.

Having our former headmaster Susan Hassall on the podcast sent us deep down memory lane.We go deep on NZ tuck shop nostalgia - the Juicies, the pies, the Cookie Time ritual - school discos, balls, prefects, wagging on a scooter, and what made Hamilton Boys' High so special.We also reflect on the response to the Susan Hassall episode, the 300,000 views on the trailer alone, the floods of comments from people whose lives she touched, and her line that stopped people in their tracks: why boys need love most when they're at their most unlovable.Plus we preview two massive upcoming guests - Melie Kerr, newly appointed White Ferns captain, who came in on game day and left us speechless. And Liam Messam - the most capped Chief of all time - whose story of leadership, culture and identity is one of the best conversations we've ever had.Steve and Seamus are proud to be dressed by Barkers, and massive shout out to the legends at Stark for supporting this show.

Cúrsaí Cispheile - Seamus Mac Lochlainn by Raidió na Life 106.4FM, www.raidionalife.ie

Europe rethinks its nuclear options, prompting Russian warnings, and Iceland confirms referendum on resuming EU membership talks. 

Susan Hassall arrived at Hamilton Boys' High School in 1979 as a 22-year-old English teacher. She stayed for 46 years. In 1999, she became the first woman in New Zealand to be appointed headmaster of a boys' state school — a role she held for exactly 25 years.In this conversation, Susan shares what she's learned about love, leadership, loss, and what it takes to raise good men. We talk about her mantra — "you can pretend to care, but you can't pretend to show up" — the Greek concept of aretē that became the school's cornerstone, why she believes vulnerability is the most important quality in a leader, and what people get wrong about teenage boys.Susan also opens up about working through breast cancer without missing a day, losing her deputy Graeme Robinson to a heart attack in her office, the death of her husband James, and why the years immediately after school are the most critical for young men.Whether you're a parent, a teacher, a coach, or just someone trying to figure out what matters most — this one's for you.⚠️ This episode contains a discussion about suicide.

In this special episode of Accidental Business Owners, we welcome our first-ever guest to the show: actor, radio host, and entrepreneur Mike Minogue!Two years ago, after appearing on the Between Two Beers podcast, Mike pitched us an idea that seemed too good to refuse: creating a corporate speaking bureau featuring our podcast guests. We launched B2B Speakers, and it was an immediate hit.But today, we are announcing a "conscious uncoupling". In this honest conversation, we pull back the curtain on what happens when a side hustle grows faster than your capacity to manage it. We discuss why we are stepping away, how Mike is taking the reins, and the rebranding of the business to Frank Speakers.In this episode, we cover:The Origin Story: How a late-night drive led Mike to pitch the B2B Speakers concept.The "Too Good" Problem: Why the rapid success of the business actually became its biggest stressor.Burnout & Capacity: Balancing a startup with radio shows, podcasts, and new babies.The Breakup: How to navigate a business exit without ruining a friendship.Frank Speakers: The future of the agency under the Frank Management umbrella.The Power of "Turning Up": Mike's philosophy on consistency and why building trust takes 3–5 years.Steve and Seamus are proud to be dressed by Barkers.

This episode comes straight off the back of a live Monday night mindset call and the conversation that stopped men in their tracks.Most high performers are so fixated on the future version of themselves that they've checked out of the life they're actually living. The goal becomes the cage. The vision becomes the thing that robs them of the present.In this episode, Seamus unpacks the concept of purpose over attachment  why releasing your grip on outcomes isn't weakness, it's the move that gets you back into process, back into flow, and back to genuinely enjoying what you're building right now.This isn't about shrinking your ambitions. It's about stopping the constant deferral of fulfilment to some future finish line that keeps moving.The men on Monday's call felt it. This is why.

It's News Day Tuesday on The Majority Report   On today's program:   CNN airs a compilation of several members of the Trump administration and GOP politicians contradicting themselves on whether or not we are at "war" with Iran.   Secretary of State Marco Rubio says that the U.S. struck Iran because they knew Israel was going to take action in Iran and that would precipitate actions against American forces in the area.   Annelle Sheline, a Middle East research fellow at the Quincy Institute, joins the program to discuss the war's foreign policy dimensions.   Seamus Malekafzali, co-host of Turbulence podcast joins the program to discuss the on-the-ground situation in Iran. For more from Seamus subscribe to his Substack.   In the Fun Half:   Speaker of the House Mike Johnson reaffirms Marco Rubio's claims that we had to strike Iran because they knew of an Israel action that would lead to an attack on American forces.   Donald Trump contradicts both Rubio and Johnson and claims that he wanted to strike first and that he "forced Israel's hand".   Bibi Netanyahu goes on Hannity and says that he did not drag Trump into this war despite what Rubio and Johnson have claimed.   The Third Way's "Winning the Middle" conference is as infuriating as it sounds.   Melania make good time party at U.N. big time!   all that and more   To connect and organize with your local ICE rapid response team visit ICERRT.com The Congress switchboard number is (202) 224-3121.

On this episode, Seamus Nally shares a powerful lesson every investor eventually faces: if it's not working, pivot.Seamus originally set out to build a portfolio of student rentals. The plan made sense. The numbers worked. The demand was there. Then the university expanded its own housing and the student demand he was counting on dried up. Instead of digging in and hoping things would turn around, Seamus made a bold move.He pivoted and began renting rooms to residents in an addiction recovery program. When new challenges surfaced with that strategy, he adjusted again, eventually transitioning the property into a traditional long term rental. By then, market rents had risen and the deal that once struggled was suddenly producing strong, stable cash flow.We also talk about what it's like investing alongside family, as Seamus partners with his brothers on their properties.Plus, we get into one of the most overlooked investing advantages: building strong relationships with neighbors. Seamus explains how being proactive and communicative has not only protected their properties, but has also led to off-market deals and neighbors acting as extra eyes and ears. https://rentalincomepodcast.com/episode563Thanks To Our Sponsors:MidSouth HomeBuyers – Turnkey Rentals In Memphis & Little Rock.

Tim Brown is best known as the co-founder of Allbirds - the New Zealand-born footwear brand that became a global phenomenon.But before Silicon Valley, before the IPO, and before building one of the world's most recognisable sustainable fashion brands, Tim was an All White, representing New Zealand on the world stage.At just 31 years old, still in his prime, he made a decision that shocked many: he walked away from professional football.In this episode, we explore the mindset behind that choice - and how the lessons from elite sport shaped the foundations of Allbirds.We talk about:Missing his moment at the World CupIdentity, ego, and high-performance environmentsKnowing when to leave the party earlyThe pressure of building a global brandWhat success really feels like on the other sideThis is a conversation about ambition, discipline, perspective, and taking the long view — from the pitch to the boardroom.Steve and Seamus are proud to be dressed by Barkers.

Séamus McElearney's early days on an FBI organized crime squad were full of grunt work. For months he was mired in administrative tasks, including the transcription of secret recordings of the DeCavalcante and Bonanno crime families. Eighteen months later, McElearney assisted in his squad's arrest of thirty-nine Mafia suspects; he led the team arresting Anthony Capo, a DeCavalcante soldier linked to stock fraud and conspiracy to commit murder. Barely a week after Capo's arrest, McElearney accomplished what no other law enforcement agent had ever done in the hundred years of the DeCavalcante crime family's existence: he flipped one of their made men. Anthony Capo confessed to dozens of illegal activities, including two murders and eleven murder conspiracies, and agreed to work with the government to bring down his former family. What followed was a spiral effect of cooperation as McElearney and colleagues flipped three more DeCavalcante associates, one captain, and an acting boss. Flipping Capo resulted in the Bureau solving eleven murders, convicting seventy-one defendants, and dismantling the DeCavalcante crime family. Thanks to the redemptive relationship he built with Capo, McElearney helped unmask a criminal network that led to the RICO convictions of the entire DeCavalcante hierarchy, just as the world was coming to know them as the "real Sopranos."

Brad Thorn is one of the most unique champions New Zealand sport has ever produced.A dual-code legend, Brad achieved what almost no one has - winning NRL premierships, World Cups, Super Rugby titles, and earning the right to wear the All Blacks jersey at the highest level.But behind the trophies is an obsession with discipline, standards, and doing the work that others won't. In this conversation, Brad reflects on the mindset that shaped his career - the moments that hardened him, the sacrifices required to chase the black jersey, and why he believes “champions do extra.”We talk about walking away from millions to start again, the lessons he learned from the toughest environments in sport, and what it really takes to become a master of your craft. An unforgettable episode with one of the greats.Steve and Seamus are proud to be dressed by Barkers. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Di walks into the studio with a completely shaved head, addressing the "elephant in the room" immediately.But this episode isn't just about the new look - it's about looking forward. Di introduces the "10,000 Days" framework: the idea that at mid-life, we have roughly 10,000 days left to live. The question isn't just what your net worth will be when you're 80, but whether you had a "sh*t ton of fun" getting there.We also get into a heated debate about "parenting scorecards" (do you really need data to know if you're a present dad?).In this episode, we cover:The Big Reveal: Why Di shaved her head and the "interesting assumptions" people make.The 10,000 Days Rule: A framework for reverse-engineering your life from age 80.The "Shit Ton of Fun" Metric: Why financial freedom means nothing if you're miserable achieving it.Steve and Seamus are proud to be dressed by Barkers!

Like Christopher Marlowe, William Shakespeare made good use of his time off when the theatres were shut for plague in 1593. 'Venus and Adonis' appeared in quarto that year and become by far the most popular work Shakespeare published in his lifetime, running to ten editions before his death (compared to just four for Romeo and Juliet). In this episode, Seamus and Mark consider the many ways in which Shakespeare's poem displays its author's remarkable originality, from its peculiar reshaping of the Ovidian myth into a tale of comic mismatch, to its surprising diversion into the psychology of grief. They then look at his disturbing follow-up, 'The Rape of Lucrece' (1594), in which a chilling depiction of self-conscious, premeditated evil anticipates characters such as Iago and Macbeth.

On the night of his second birthday in May 1991, Seamus Daniel Howell's mother Lesley was murdered by his father, Colin Howell, and his father's lover, Hazel Stewart.The pair also killed Stewart's husband Trevor Buchanan.They left the two bodies in a garage in Castlerock, Co Derry, staging the scene to make it look as if they had taken their own lives.The pair had committed the perfect murder so they could be together. And they had got away with it.That is until 2009 when Colin Howell, a respected dentist and devout evangelical Christian, walked into a police station out of the blue and confessed to the killings. He and Stewart were convicted of the murders and jailed for a minimum of 21 years and 18 years respectively.Seamus grew up being told that his mother had killed herself, until the truth came out. By then he was a medical student in England. Now a doctor in New York he tells In the News what it was like growing up in the Howell house and how his discovered that his father was a murderer. He explains how it impacted on his life, and how it has made him acutely aware of injustice which now for him includes advocating for Palestine.Presented by Bernice Harrison.

Enhancing Disaster Response Strategies The discussion focused on disaster response challenges, with Seamus sharing his experience in St. Thomas after a storm where they faced significant communication and infrastructure failures. They discussed how multiple issues can cascade, making it difficult to manage complex disasters, and emphasized the importance of having both digital and traditional emergency management tools to handle various scenarios. Jamie contributed by mentioning their county’s use of both digital screens and physical maps for nuclear incident planning, highlighting the value of having multiple systems in place. Blending Digital and Traditional Communication The group discussed the importance of combining digital media skills with traditional communication methods, emphasizing the value of explaining the “why” to younger team members who excel in digital but may lack traditional skills. Seamus shared his experience as an emergency manager during Hurricane Irene, highlighting the need for rest and backup plans for teams working around the clock, and Jamie referenced Joe’s practice of maintaining a notebook of contacts during responses to quickly access needed resources. Emergency Response Coordination Strategies Seamus emphasized the importance of building relationships with local emergency responders and understanding cultural differences when working in unfamiliar communities. He and Sam discussed the need for contingency plans when communication systems fail, such as having backup power and redundant communication channels. Seamus also highlighted the challenge of managing disasters while dealing with personal emergencies and suggested leveraging non-traditional resources and coordinating with neighboring jurisdictions to overcome resource shortages.

Seamus, an experienced emergency manager, discussed the importance of training organizations to be adaptable and flexible during crises, emphasizing the need to prepare for when systems fail rather than when they work.

Irish Stew's latest “Off the Beaten Craic” adventure in County Leitrim discovers three new ways to slow down, tune in, and taste this corner of Ireland, through food, forest, and a gentle spin along the Jackalope Trail.First, we meet Malaysian‑born chef and restaurateur Sham Hanifa. At age 20 he answered an ad to work in Ireland, arriving in Carrick‑on‑Shannon jet‑lagged and short on money, but today he anchors the local food scene with The Cottage, My Kitchen, and Buffalo Boy, blending Irish ingredients with his Thai‑Chinese‑Indian‑Malay heritage.And he loves Irish Stew, though he was referring to the edible not the audio version.“What I say is Irish stew is comfort food, packed with flavor and a good‑hearted dish,” he explains, insisting he won't “mess around” with its unique Irish character even as he adds subtle Asian notes elsewhere on the menu. That respect for Irish produce interpreted with Asian flavors has turned Sham's Leitrim restaurants into dining destinationsThe episode moves next to the Drumhierny Woodland Hideaway, opened to guests in 2022 and featuring 11 self‑catering lodges tucked seamlessly into mature woodland. Sustainability, local partnerships, and wellbeing shape the experience, from an onsite café and private‑chef dinners to a sanctuary with seaweed baths, sauna, and cold plunge.“They arrive stressed on Friday, and when you meet them on a Sunday they're completely Zen, which I think is what we're all about,” says co-founder and marketing manager Alison Moffatt.The podcasters then roam towards Drumshanbo for a “slow adventure” on the Jackalope Trail with Eileen Gibbons of Electric Bike Trails. Inspired by seeing e-bikes on Ireland's Greenway network, Eileen and her husband Seamus created guided rides that trade speed for stories—linking canal-side cycling with local heritage and the wider tourism scene.“We take people along at a slow rate, stop along the way at interesting spots, all with a little bit of joke and a little bit of fun, and maybe even a bit of song,” she says.The Jackalope Trail leads to The Shed Distillery of PJ Rigney, distillers of Drumshanbo Whisky and Irish Gunpowder Gin, part of Co. Leitrim's innovative culinary incubator The Food Hub, both to be featured in the next and final episode of Irish Stew's “Off the Beaten Craic” series.LinksSham HanifaWebsiteFacebookYouTubeInstagramMy KitchenThe Cottage RestaurantDrumhierny Woodland HideawayWebsiteFacebookInstagramAlison Moffatt LinkedInElectric Bike TrailsWebsiteFacebookInstagramIrish Stew LinksWebsiteMedia Partner: IrishCentralTravel Partner: Tourism IrelandEpisode Details: Season 8, Episode 4; Total Episode Count: 145
