Wealth Was Never Meant To Be Individual Most of us were never taught how to build wealth, we were taught how to survive. So for a long time, I thought money was something you had to chase on your own. In this episode, I talk about letting go of that idea and remembering that wealth was never meant to be individual. When we build together, we move faster, we hold more, and we create something that...

Most financial advice sounds simple. Spend less. Save more. Invest. But if it were that easy, more people would be getting ahead. In this episode, we unpack why money isn’t just about behaviour or discipline. It’s emotional, it’s learned, and for many of us, it’s shaped by survival, stress, and lived experience. We talk about why people spend even when they know they shouldn’t, the hidden role of...

Last week I invested a couple of grand to sit in a room that challenged the way I think about money, business and identity. In this episode I unpack what I learned at the One Day Mastery Event in Auckland with Luke Kemmeys from Keep the Change, Sarah Robb from Spring with Sarah and Amy from Levridge.

In this episode, I break down how attention turns into income, why clarity makes you money, and how consistency compounds just like investing.

We cover: • W...

Welcome to Day 2 of the 7 Day Money Reset. Today we stop guessing. We calculate your net worth. And before you panic Yes, even if you have debt. Especially if you have debt.

Welcome to Day 1 of the 7 Day Money Reset. Today we’re not budgeting. We’re not cutting. We’re not judging. We’re observing.

Some days you wake up focused. Disciplined. Clear. And some days… you don’t. No motivation. No drive. Just tired. Flat. Over it.

I almost quit this podcast. When I first launched Māori Millionaire, I wasn’t getting the traction, engagement or impact I thought I “should” be getting. The downloads felt slow. The growth felt average. And I started taking it personally. I made the numbers mean something about me. That I wasn’t interesting enough. That I wasn’t impactful enough. That maybe I just wasn’t good enough. In this epis...

We live in a world that profits off your impulsivity. One click buy. Afterpay. Fast fashion. Uber Eats. Doom scrolling at 1am. And then we wonder why we feel broke, tired and behind. In this episode, I’m breaking down the real power of delayed gratification. Not from a grind harder angle. Not from a just be more disciplined angle. But from a nervous system angle. Because if you grew up in chaos, b...

Imposter syndrome isn’t about your skills. It’s about whether you believe you’re inherently valuable. In this episode, I unpack how my imposter syndrome came from scarcity, comparison, and a deep “not enough” wound. I share how I used to pedestal people, overreact to opportunities, and feel lucky just to be in the room. And how that energy quietly kept me small. We talk about what actually shifted...
