When builders hit $1.5M, $5M, or $10M revenue marks, the same painful pattern emerges: what got them there becomes their biggest bottleneck. Most end up with a "busy job with overheads" instead of a real business. Join Luke Kemeys on Keep the Change as he interviews our very owen Marti Amos (Founder of TPB) . Discover why 22% gross margin nearly destroyed Marti’'s cleaning business, the three critical areas every building company owner gets wrong, and how to find $10K in pure profit using the Professional Builder Rate formula. Learn the powerful change formula (Dissatisfaction × Vision + First Steps > Resistance), why turnover is vanity but profit is sanity, and how building company owners can escape the feast-or-famine cycle that keeps them competing on price instead of value.

Ep 11 Stewart Island Whitetail Part 2 with Leigh CraggBy sheer coincidence Leigh hunted Kelly's Block the same as Dano did for our first SI episode. Leigh's first trip was in 2018, he returned to Kelly's again in 2023. This is a great follow up to the first SI instalment. Leigh was able to apply lessons learned on his first trip and maximise his chances of success for his second trip. This episode is not repetitive at all. You will get just as much information from this EP as any other SI podcast you may have listened to and help reinforce the lessons these adventurous hunters are passing on.

New Zealand Rugby Players Association CEO Rob Nichol has been at the forefront of what has been a rather tubulent time for professional rugby. Originally from Stewart Island, Rob moved to Auckland, initially working as a police officer, before settling on a 10-acre lifestyle block near Pokeno. After laying the law aside, the qualified accountant turned his talents to helping run the NZRPA. Since his time as CEO he's navigated the Silver Lake controversy, governance concerns, and eligibility rules on behalf of some of our most well known players. Rob Nichol joined Simon Barnett and James Daniels for this week's Six and a Song. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

David shares the story of his latest love affair, after falling for Seabreeze III, a 48-year-old classic 105-foot motoryacht, that he is acquiring for the rapidly growing, Ocean Sailing Expeditions fleet. After stumbling across Seabreeze III, 2-months ago and reading all about the painstaking restoration undertaken from 2019-2021 at a cost of more than $3.3m, by the current "motivated vendors", it was just too hard to go past. David openly shares the story of the roller coaster ride with Ocean Sailing Expeditions over the past 5 years and why this addition to the business makes total sense, even though its powered by motor and not sail. David dives into the business history, challenges, set backs and growth story. If you own a boat or a business, you'll relate to many of these challenges. This episode includes an exclusive new, one-time Membership and Shareholder offer, to help fund the acquisition of the vessel. You can benefit significantly by accessing sailing adventures at 30-100% discount in return for a one-off investment. Seabreeze III will operate around New Zealand, offering cruises and expeditions to the Bay of Islands, Hauraki Gulf, Marlborough Sounds, Nelson/Tasman Region, Fiordland and Stewart Island, in the warmer months of the year and head to Fiji for 4 months each winter. With 4 different deck levels, Seabreeze III is the perfect on the water, viewing platform for special events such as Sail GP, the Americas Cup and Round-the-World race leg starts and finishes in Auckland. Seabreeze III will join the Ocean Sailing Expedition's, events calendar from late November 2024 and also offer private charter booking opportunities.

Summer's just around the corner but the weather has other plans on Thursday as warnings for heavy rain, snow and severe gale northwesterlies are in place across New Zealand. MetService has issued wind warnings Thursday morning. Hawke's Bay is forecast to have strong west-to-northwest winds reaching severe gale force in exposed places and lasting until Friday morning. The Tararua District, Marlborough and Canterbury regions will be hit by gale northwesterly winds from 9'o'clock Thursday morning until 6'o'clock Friday evening. At the same time a heavy snow watch is in place for Otago, Clutha, Southland, Stewart Island and Fiordland Thursday night until mid morning Friday. Further severe winds are forecast to hit these areas from 8'o'clock Thursday until lunch time Friday. Snow is expected to fall to sea level and the amount of snowfall may approach warning criteria in areas 300metres above. MetService head of weather communications Lisa Murray spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

Tim has been hiking through Stewart Island with two of his oldest and best friends in preparation for this very screening. Guy has visited Melbourne, enjoyed himself for a few days, and downloaded Fast Five onto his phone—all to ensure he is in an optimal mental state to enjoy the film. The boys take roughly twenty-five minutes to even begin talking about Fast Five. The movie—and this remains a quality movie—is not where their heads are at. Tim admires a tree exploding in the film, Guy enjoys some cinematography. At the end of quite a pleasant and meandering conversation, the boys give an honest assessment of both the film and their performance in this episode.Support us on Substack at twioat.substack.com.

Stewart Island tourism operators are reeling from a stoush over access to nearby Ulva Island bird sanctuary. Nearly 40,000 visitors went to Rakiura / Stewart Island last season, with most travelling to Ulva Island - a jewel in the Department of Conservation's crown. However, ahead of this year's season, tourist operators have been told the only wharf in Post Office Cove has reached the end of its life and is no longer safe to use. But DoC and the district council are at an impasse over its replacement - and who should pay for what. Tourism operators are frustrated and worried. Kathryn speaks with Aihe Wildlife Cruises and Water Taxi owner Furhana Ahmad, Southland District Mayor Rob Scott and DOC Operations Director southern South Island Aaron Fleming.

An unlikely pair are creating a buzz on Stewart Island.  Baywatch star David Hasselhoff is spending a few days filming a TV show on Rakiura with New Zealand comedian Rhys Darby.  The duo participated in a special South Sea Hotel quiz night and filmed a segment with the island's only police officer.  Constable Stuart Newton told Mike Hosking that Hasselhoff was very down to earth, taking him up on his offer for a ride home.  Filming is expected to continue around the country.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A street artist with the moniker Clap has become a nuisance for some Invercargill business owners over the past year.. Graffiti has been showing up on buildings, and fences. In conservation news, four kakapo have been moved from Codfish Island, near Stewart Island, to Sanctuary Mountain Maungatautari which is a mainland ecological island in Waikato. This is in an attempt to restore the population of the flightless bird species. And Groundswell NZ is calling for its supporters to boycott Countdown supermarkets for a fortnight, saying the company blames farmers for its emissions. Che Baker is the editor of the Southland Times.

The Mosgiel Taieri's Community Board chair is horrified by a suspected arson on the property of a family of former refugees from Syria. The family say they are the victims of hate crimes, and have experienced a spate of attacks, police are investigating.

Tim Brown is a based in Dunedin covering Otago and Southland for RNZ.

You'll finally be able to book a hut or campsite on one of New Zealand's Great Walks today. Technical difficulties have plagued the Department of Conservation's booking system and forced delays since April. But now they're confident the bugs have been squashed. The Tongariro Northern Circuit will take bookings from today, with more great walks opening up over the next couple of weeks. Furhana Ahmad is a tourism operator with Ruggedy Range Wilderness Experience on Stewart Island. Ahmad spoke to Corin Dann.

A cold wintry blast has covered parts of Southland with snow and left some roads closed. Heavy snow warnings were issued by MetService for Central Otago, the Southern Lakes, Dunedin, Clutha, Southland and Stewart Island, and Fiordland about and south of Doubtful Sound, lasting into Monday in some places. There are also strong wind watches for Hawke's Bay and Tararua, Marlborough, Nelson, the Canterbury high country, Dunedin, Clutha, Southland, and Stewart Island. MetService Meteorologist Lisa Murray spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

Stewart Islanders are facing power price increases of 1,000 per year. Those on Rakiura already pay some of the steepest power prices in the country, and due to their dependence on diesel it's only set to get worse. Our Otago-Southland reporter, Timothy Brown, has more.

What do you think is the rarest bird in New Zealand?  Perhaps, you immediately think of the Kakapo? But the title probably belongs to a seabird, or a little-known shorebird, the Southern Dotterel (or the Southern Red-breasted Plover) (Chadrius obscurus), which has been described as a distinct species and listed as such on the IUCN Red LIst. It is listed as Critically Endangered and the population trend is indicated as Decreasing. Last assessed in 2017, the IUCN estimates that the population is between 60 and 80 individuals, which is limited to one population, which occurs (fortunately) within the boundaries of the Rakiura National Park, on Rakiura (or Stewart Island), off the southern tip of the South Island of Aotearoa New Zealand. Alasdair Burns spoke with Grant, from Stewart Island (Rakiura) about the Southern Dotterel, and recounted his work previously with the species, and explained why the specialisation of the species, and it's limited range makes it extremely vulnearable, especially to feral predators, such as cats, rats, mice and possums. See the grim IUCN Red List assessment for yourself here.
