We're in Sydney with Oleg Vornik, CEO of DroneShield, makers of radio-frequency technology to detect and take down small, hostile drones across 50 countries. While defence demand is rising, airports, data centers, and infrastructure facilities are also looking for protection against small drones used for surveillance, cyber threats, and sabotage. Learn how DroneShield built the world's largest drone signal library, why simply shooting down drones isn’t viable, and why they’re moving to "micro AI" on tiny, self-learning devices. Hear about the “cat and mouse game” between counter-drone developers and drone manufacturers, constantly innovating to avoid detection. Plus, find out why Oleg believes counter-drone activity in public spaces like airports, stadiums, and prisons will grow as drones become a fact of life.

Could open banking finally create real competition for money services—beyond the banks? We’re talking to Ben Lynch, who left Xero to found Akahu, the open finance intermediary pushing to change the balance of power between banks, their customers, and their competitors. This episode explores how open banking aims to democratize your financial data, letting fintech businesses innovate and become a “bank without being a bank”. Hear about Ben’s battle to bring the new Consumer Data Right into law, giving individuals more meaningful ownership of their personal information—the foundation of open banking. We discuss how this legislation forces banks to use APIs (application programming interfaces) to share data, and creates more space for disruptors like Sharesies to offer consumers choice. Plus, hear the story of how Ben used a tweet to get his foot in the door at Xero.

We sit down with Comvita Chair Bridget Coates to talk about the critical vote shareholders are facing on a 80-cent-per-share takeover offer. With a 75% majority vote required and two major shareholders already backing the deal, this is a pivotal moment for Comvita and its investors. The iconic mānuka honey company and global market leader has faced significant financial pressure in recent years due to industry oversupply, price and demand volatility, and balance sheet challenges. Despite restructuring efforts, the Board of Comvita is now recommending shareholders accept the offer from private health and wellness bidder Florenz. We cover the mānuka honey industry's struggles, why previous recapitalisation attempts haven't been enough, and what's at stake if the scheme fails. And what the future might hold for this nearly 50-year-old Kiwi brand under private ownership.

In this quick bite, Air New Zealand CFO Richard Thomson lifts the lid on why the airline’s recovery has been harder — and more expensive — than expected. With soaring visa costs to a sharp drop in visitors from China, are we pricing ourselves out of the tourism market?

Richard Thompson, Air NZ CFO, joins us to discuss the headwinds facing our national carrier. With engine disruptions pushing costs skyward and grounding sections of the fleet, and up against a tough economy, Richard explains why he remains confident in Air NZ’s future. Why are the new engines from Rolls-Royce lasting only a quarter of their normal maintenance cycle? How do unseen costs like extra inventory play into the engine crisis? How does a weak NZ dollar impact the cost of US parts and materials? And why has the airline chosen this troubled time to carry out a $100 million share buyback? Plus, how rising costs of entry—including pricey visas and a conservation levy—have become a "friction point" for our visitors.

Is crypto going mainstream? Dave Ripley is co-CEO of long-standing global crypto exchange Kraken, service provider to Sharesies Crypto. In this episode, crypto “dinosaur” Dave tells us how he’s seeing signs that the financial establishment is ready to embrace digital assets. Dave explains why crypto is a hot topic for lawmakers in Washington, while Texas, Wyoming, and nations like El Salvador are buying Bitcoin, and the US Department of Commerce is adopting blockchain. Why does Dave believe that AI is, by nature, the "exact opposite" of crypto? How does tokenisation work, and why does he say it could change property investing?

Octopus Energy has over 11 million customers worldwide and a reputation as an innovator—but Octopus NZ COO Margaret Cooney says that in Aotearoa, market settings are holding them back. In the face of security of supply issues and rising costs, Margaret believes our energy sector has been “complacent” for too long. So are there smarter ways to optimise power delivery? Should we be importing innovations like 'zero-bill homes'? What will it take for the country to get ahead of the demand curve? And if we have more than 50 electricity providers, why does Margaret say choice is dwindling for Kiwi households? Plus, Margaret explains how technology can help consumers schedule their demand to reduce power bills and support the adoption of renewables.

Stewart Hamilton is 12 months into his role as CEO of Mercury NZ—and despite a record-dry year and a dip in earnings, he's forecasting a billion-dollar 2026. In this episode, he lays out what’s next for Mercury and its investors. How are Mercury and other big players teaming up to secure NZ’s troubled power supply—and are they forming an energy "cartel" in the eyes of the Commerce Commission? Would breaking up the big energy gentailers help make electricity affordable, or is the current model more efficient? Does the Government’s stake in Mercury create a conflict of interest? Hear about the "renaissance" of geothermal energy, Mercury’s focus on new generation projects, and the role New Zealand could play in training AI.

Investors may be feeling uneasy as tensions remain high between the US, Iran, and Israel. To shed some light on the latest situation, we’re turning to Nicholas Bagnall, Chief Investment Officer at Te Ahumairangi fund, and Matt Macpherson, our Head of KiwiSaver. Nicholas has seen more than a few conflicts play out over his 30+ years of investment management, so we’re asking—where to from here? What moves can we expect from Russia and China? What could this all mean for oil prices and the value of the USD? Matt lays out the implications for your KiwiSaver balance and the NZ economy—and what this all means for defense-related investments. And Nicholas tells us how to build a portfolio that doesn’t need to change in response to unpredictable times, and why high risk doesn’t necessarily mean higher reward.

Independent economist Tony Alexander is back to give us the lowdown on the housing market, interest rates, and what’s driving investment sentiment in 2025.

Why are private debt levels looking lower in the South Island than in the North? What happened to the housing market recovery some expected late last year? And why does Tony believe interest rates could be close to hitting their floor?

Ever wonder about those plastic crates your fruit comes in? Morrison CEO Paul Newfield reveals how these overlooked circular economy systems represent infrastructure potential his $25B firm hunts for. Paul shares his candid admission about underestimating New Zealand's renewable energy, why Australia's coal plants breaking down makes the energy transition inevitable, and how Morrison's decades-long expertise—from 1990s NZ wind farms to billion-dollar US developments—turned early disadvantages into global competitive advantages.For more or to watch on YouTube—check out http://linktr.ee/sharedlunchShared Lunch is brought to you by Sharesies Australia Limited (ABN 94 648 811 830; AFSL 529893) in Australia and Sharesies Limited (NZ) in New Zealand.

What’s driving global interest in infrastructure investment? We’re talking to Paul Newfield, CEO at Morrison, a pioneering infrastructure asset manager worth USD$25B.

Paul shares how Morrison plays the long game, finding businesses with sustainable competitive advantages and often holding them for decades—resisting political trends and the quick ‘flips’ common from private equity firms.
