  • Steve and Seamus discuss Matt Heath's move away from breakfast radio, the feedback they received from their 'Luxon decision', why Steve's five-year-old is the fastest in his family, NZ's most epic untold business stories, recent episodes with Matiu Walters from Six 60 and the most interesting developments from their business channel.

    See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

  • Matiu Walters is the lead singer and guitarist of New Zealand’s band Six60.

    The group formed in Dunedin in 2008, and across the last 16 years have broken all the rules to become New Zealand’s biggest band.

    In 2019 they became the first New Zealand act to sell out Western Springs and in 2021 became the first band to ever play Eden Park to a sold-out crowd of 50,000.

    In this episode we talk to Matiu about Otago University and the origins of the band, getting coached by Josh Kronfeld – and then performing on stage with him, their spine-tingling Eden Park show, his response to harsh critical reviews, the highs and lows of being a musician, Teddy Swims, Eli leaving the band and much, much more.

    Matiu is such a great chat. Despite being one of New Zealand’s most popular musicians – there’s no ego attached. He’s as down to earth as they come, and we go deep on all of the most interesting and insightful parts of Six60s wild ride.

  • Tim Batt is a pioneer in the digital audio space and one of New Zealand's most impressive creative talents.

    He's the producer and co-host of NZ's most popular podcast - with 20 million downloads, he's created his own podcast network, won multiple comedy awards, produced radio for Matt Heath, he's a standup comedian, was a co-chair of the NZ comedy guild, and a father of two kids under 3.

    In this episode we talk about starting a podcast with Guy Montgomery where they watch the same movie every week for a year, what he learned from radio and why he left, working with Chloe Swarbrick, the best and worst of the NZ comedy scene and the future of NZ media.

    Tim is hilarious and told us after we recorded that he'd contacted both of our partners to do his own research on us. He flips the interview on us about halfway through (well played Tim!).

    This was a really fun chat, so many laughs in this one. Tim is super quick, thoughtful and just an all-round interesting guy.

  • Kanoa Lloyd is one of New Zealand’s top broadcasters and became a household name from co-hosting the Project on primetime TV for seven years.

    She first made her name in children’s TV, before working on radio at Mai FM and was also a weather presenter for Newshub.

    In this episode we talk about her path from Squirt and Sticky TV to Three News, integrating Te Reo Māori into the weather and all the hate that came along with it, why she quit Mai FM, the blowup of the Project and the stress and burnout that accompanied it, her best and worst moments on live TV, the future of media, parenthood, what she's doing now – and all the best stories in between.

    This was such a fun chat. Kanoa is warm, personable and authentic and there were a ton of laughs in this one mixed in with some really thoughtful periods of introspection.

  • Cam Leslie is one of New Zealand’s most successful athletes. He’s won gold medals at three Paralympics in swimming, is a world record-holder, a Halberg award winner and the co-captain of the NZ Wheelblacks.

    He’s also a father of three kids under five, runs a farm, has a full time job at Swimming NZ and has an inspirational outlook on life – though he won’t like us using that word!

    Cam was born a quadruple amputee with legs to the knee on both sides, his arm is missing four fingers on the right and he has half a forearm on his left side. But it hasn’t slown him down.

    In this episode we talk about the realities of his disability and what he can and can’t do, the best stories from touring with the Wheelblacks, how his ‘why’ has changed since having kids, why he withdrew from the Tokyo Paralympics, how he’s stayed at the top for so long and his experience of Kiwi attitudes towards disability.

    Paralympics New Zealand is looking to challenge perceptions around disability with their Paris 2024 campaign ‘we’ll give you something to talk about’ and this episode certainly does that.

    Cam is brilliant company – funny, thoughtful and engaging and universally loved by his peers. He’s a legend – with a huge future ahead of him.

    You’ll love this one.

  • Steve and Seamus break down all the details from their big night hosting the Tania Dalton Foundation gala dinner, reflect on recent episodes with Jason Gunn and Jamie Pennell, and discuss their trip down south where they talked to 150 farmers in Invercargill.

    See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

  • Jamie Pennell had an esteemed 20-year career as a solder and leader inside the NZ SAS.

    He was sent on four deployments to Afghanistan and in 2011, he was part of the unit which responded to the Taliban’s Intercontinental Hotel siege. For his bravery in helping save many lives that day - he was awarded the New Zealand Gallantry Star, the country’s second-highest military honour.

    In this episode Jamie shares his story about what really happened, he talks about the unique culture of resilience and camaraderie within the NZSAS, and the subsequent alienation this can create when soldiers return to civilian life. We hear of touring with Willie Apiata and what happened the day Willie won his Vic Cross, the brutal reality of SAS selection and some of the most eye raising stories from war zones.

    But this ep is so much more than ‘war stories’: in the second half Jamie reflects on what hes seen in men’s mental health, grief, and the struggles of reconnecting with his family.

    Jamie is now an advocate for rewiring the neural pathways to overcome negative thought patterns. After leaving the Defence Force, he gained his master’s in International Security, and trained high performance athletes to reach their goals and He now teaches Learning in the Outdoors to students at Dilworth School.

  • Hey team - we've got a special midweek delivery here for you...it's episode three of our new show Accidental Business Owners.

    It's a podcast about business, life, mindset, relationships - and the inside story of a pretty wild last 12 months.

    In each episode we're joined by our business and mindset coach Di Foster where we pick apart and interrogate all the most interesting and insightful parts of turning a podcast into a full-time business.

    In episode three Seamus opens up on what he really wants and Steve gets emotional talking about his struggles of balancing family and business.

    This show lives on our new Business in Between channel - and our plan here is that you listen to it, discover it, love it - then head over to Business in Between - listen to the previous two episodes and then follow for all future releases.

    Hope that all makes sense!

    The episodes all stand alone, so you don't need to have listened to 1 and 2 first!

    Enjoy!

  • This episode is pretty special.

    Jason Gunn is one of New Zealand's most loved entertainers - and is the best storyteller we've had on the podcast.

    We talk about the incredible rise of the Son of a Gunn Show, what people get wrong about Thingee, life in the public eye, McDonalds Young entertainers, Dancing with the Stars, sideline Jase and the art of storytelling.

    And in the second half we talk about his heart attack, thoughts on mortality, family and the recent loss of his mum - and there are some incredibly special, emotional moments of connection.

    Jase is one of a kind. When he walks into a room - he makes it a better place. His energy is contagious.

    For Seamus and I, we grew up watching him everyday after school - and so to share his life story with so much depth was a really cool experience for both of us.

    You'll love this one.

  • We have a new show! And you can find it by searching 'Business in Between' in your podcast app.

    It's a podcast about business, life, mindset, relationships and the inside story of a pretty wild last 12 months.

    My name is Steve Holloway and alongside my best mate Seamus Marten, we started a podcast called Between Two Beers nearly five years ago in my Hamilton garage.

    In quite a surreal series of events, it’s turned into our fulltime job – and along with the podcast we’ve also started two side businesses.

    One is B2B Speakers – which brings the guests you hear on Between Two Beers to your live event as MCs or Speakers, and the other is called Reflections where our storytellers are available for hire to capture your families' private stories to pass down through generations.

    In November last year, I was feeling pretty overwhelmed with what my new world was looking like, and so I connected with a business coach who specializes in helping Accidental Business Owners find their way.

    Her name is Di Foster – and as you'll soon discover, she’s a bit of a weapon.

    This podcast tells our story, and hers - because shes been juggling parenthood, wellness and a growing business also. It all comes out in these 30 minute, live coaching sessions.

    Through the series there are laughs, tears and some pretty brutal honesty - but it's something we're all really proud of.

    Hope you enjoy.

  • On this episode of Between Two Beers we talk to Anna Reeve.

    Anna is the co-founder of Pals, a former model and influencer, a global alopecia ambassador, she won Season 1 of the Traitors and is a mother of twin boys.

    In this episode we talk about how her clever social media marketing as co-founder of Pals helped the company become a market leader in the NZ RTD space, the realities of life as a business owner, how she lost all of her hair when she was just seven-years old and becoming an international model with Alopecia, the best yarns from her Traitors win, what life is like married to radio star Jay Reeve, her experience with post-natal depression, Ja Rule, Tyler Banks and much, much more.

    Anna has also made a name for herself as a social media influencer in NZ, and it’s easy to see why. She’s fun, smart, up for a laugh – and just great company. Everything is so authentic. We really enjoyed this yarn – hope you do to.

  • Steve and Seamus reflect on their recent gig with Josh Kronfeld, discuss the Football Ferns spying controversy, business updates and why they travel to Auckland separatley, reflect on their recent episode with Sione Famuina and look ahead to the Paris Olympics with Between Two Bets.

    See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

  • Sione Faumuina played 132 NRL matches for the Warriors, Cowboys and Raiders, had two stints in the UK Super League and played two times for the Kiwis.

    But his career was a troubled one.

    He had the potential to be one of the greatest sporting talents this country has produced, but was instead consumed by alcohol and erratic behaviour.

    After retiring aged 28, Sione had almost nothing to show for a decade as a professional league player, estimating that he had earned more than a million dollars in that time.

    In this episode we talk about hitting rock bottom and how he has rebuilt his life as a business owner and father of four, how he made the NRL 18 months after he started playing league, his relationship with alcohol and all his lowest moments at the Raiders and Warriors, going sober, unlocking his story by writing a book and how he’s now using his life lessons to help others.

    Sione’s story is gripping and - he tells it really well. We go into a lot of detail about some really difficult times in his career, and at this stage of his life he’s an open book – his drive in sharing is to help others learn from his mistakes.

    And his story is not finished yet.

    We're also super stoked to have Sione on the books of B2B Speakers, so if you’d like him to share his story at your function or event, flick us a message by going to B2Bspeakers.co.nz. Also check out our epic lineup of former guests available for hire too.

  • This week we're rewinding the clock back to August of 2022 when we sat down with Eliza McCartney.

    Eliza is a professional pole vaulter and one of the very best in the world.

    At the time of recording, her career had stalled after an unfortunate run of injuries.

    She'd burst onto the scene as a 19-year old, taking home bronze from the Rio Olympics, before winning silver at the 2018 Commonwealth Games, and smashing indoor and outdoor Oceania records.

    But then the setbacks started.

    In this episode we talked about the mental and physical struggle of dealing with her injuries - and how she was rebuilding, going to school with Lorde, the time she accidentally stumbled on a nude beach, why her coach made her tell a joke each week, her rise to the top of the pole vaulting world and the whirlwind of fame that followed her Olympic bronze.

    Today, aged 27, she's back to full fitness and has qualified for the Paris Olympics - where she will compete in August.

    Eliza is such good company and we both really loved this chat. In the second half we go quite deep on the injury situation, and you’ll get a really clear picture of what a tough few years it had been for her. This was her first ever podcast appearance, and we’re really grateful she came on to share her story.

    We’re also super stoked to tell you about the business we’ve built. If you’d like to hire one of our incredible guests to speak at or MC your event, check out our epic lineup at B2Bspeakers.co.nz and get in touch.

    See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

  • Rachel Hunter is the girl from Glenfield who made the big time.

    She was a teen who left school, became a supermodel, married Rod Stewart and became an international celebrity. These days she travels the world as a spiritual teacher and we were lucky enough to grab her for a few hours when she was back in NZ recently.

    In this episode we talk about her lifetime in the spotlight, her two week silent retreat, life after Rod Stewart, Being Stacey’s mum and *that* Trumpet Ad, her relationship with the late great Andy Haden, wellbeing myths and all the best stories in between.

    Rachel was one of NZ’s first global superstars and is still one of the countries most recognizable names. This was a really fun chat that gave a peak behind the curtain of an exceptional life.

  • On this episode of Between Two Beers we talk to Simon Porter.

    Simon is the CEO of New Zealand’s biggest sporting agency, Halo Sport.

    His company represents many of NZ’s biggest stars, from Scott Robertson, Ian Foster, Beauden Barrett and Dan Carter to Dame Valerie Adams, Suzie Bates, Gemma McCaw and Willie Apiata.

    Simon has been working in either sports law or the sporting industry since 1999 and became the boss at Halo Sport in 2017.

    His network is unrivalled having brokered contracts for his clients in every professional market within the rugby world.

    His knowledge of sport in NZ and sponsorship contracts is second to none.

    In this episode we talk about the realities of being NZ’s top sporting agent – and what separates the good from the great, behind the scenes of representing both Razor and Ian Foster during the All Blacks coaching saga, his role in connecting NZ Rugby with Japan, the problems with rugby in NZ, where cricket is headed, and much, much more.

    Simon is one of the cleanest, sharpest thinkers in NZ sport and this was an entertaining and insightful peak behind the scenes of his world.
