The Dom Harvey Podcast

This "bite size" podcast comes from the full conversation with Liam Malone. If you like this, maybe download the full chat and give it a listen when you have a bit more time. In this clip we discuss Liams amazing viral media interviews from the 2016 Paralympics whrere he won three medals. We also discuss his interactions with the former South African Paralympic track star, now convicted kille...

Liam Malone became a household name back in 2016 when he cleaned up on the track at the Rio Paralympics, winning 2 golds and a silver. He won the hearts of the nation with his long hair and IDGAF speech that went viral where he described himself as “a kid from Nelson who reads books and runs round in circles.”  Brilliant. He was born with a condition that meant walking was near impossible.  So, hi...

This short podcast comes from my full conversation with 2022 high jump gold medalist, Hamish Kerr. Hamish is New Zealand’s greatest ever high jumper.  Last year he became the first ever NZ man to make it to the high jump finals at the Olympics, leaving Tokyo with a top 10 finish.  And a few months ago, he won a commonwealth games gold with a jump of 2 metres and 25cm (bloody high). If you like thi...

In this conversation we learn alot about high jumping.  We also chat about his te...

Jesse Tuke won Celebrity Treasure Island and $100,000 for his favourite charity, Live Ocean. Inga the winger was signed up to be on the show.  The former All Black superstar made it as far as the pre-filming stage where Jesse and the other cast members got to rub shoulders with him for around a week before he fell ill and returned home. Inga passed away shortly after that.  Making Jesse and the ot...

I caught up with Jesse Tuke fresh from his win on Celebrity Treasure Island.  It was filmed at the beginning of this year so he has been sitting on this $100,000 secret for months! As well as chatting about his reality TV experience we talk about life in the shadow of a famous brother (Blair Tuke), being one of the last people to see “Inga the Winger” before he passed away, coping with being the “...

This episode first came out back in June this year. Today in New Zealand it is "Gumboot Friday."  A fundraising day created by Mike kings I Am Hope organisation.  The conversation with Mike King is an episode I still get a constant stream of positve feedback about.  If you are new to the podcast, or you missed this episode when I first released it, you should definiterly put it on your list.  Its...

In August 2017, Nick Ashhill was 81 punishing days into his run from one side of America to the other- LA to NY- doing around 50k every day. He didn’t finish the run though.  He was the victim of what he reckons was a deliberate hit and run accident from some meth head in a pick up truck that left him fighting for his life. 16 surgeries and 5 years later, Nick went back to the spot of his accident...

This bite size snippet comes from my full conversation with the legnedary Joseph Sullivan.  Think of this as sort of like a trailer for a TV series on Netflix.  If you like this, maybe check out the full conversation when you have the time. After winning an Olympic gold medal for rowing in 2012 Joseph Sullivan found himself lost and in a bleak mental head space after he was pretty much shafted by...

At the time of posting this bite size clip from my full podcast with Nikki Kaye, it is the breast cancer pink ribbon street appeal in New Zealand (If you go past a collector, please don’t pretend you are reading something on your phone).  In fact, I’d urge you to look round the house or car for any actual money- preferably notes- that you could drop in one of the buckets. In this clip, Nikk Kaye,...

Joseph Sullivan is a HERO!  But I feel like he is one of those under-the-radar heroes.  Where the name rings a bell, but you can’t quite recall where you know it form.  And that is just the way this unassuming fire fighter and father from Bay of Plenty likes it. At the 2012 Olympics, he won a gold medal.  His rowing race was so epic that he won a Halberg Award for "New Zealand's Favorite Sporting...

This bite size clip comes from my full conversation with 3x world champion rower, Zoe McBride.  I do these shorter podcasts because I am aware not everyone has a spare hour to listen.  If you like this, feel free to download the full episode with Zoe and save it for a later date. In this bite size clip, Zoe talks me through the moment she decided to pull out of the Olympic Games to prioritize her...

Zoe McBride was a three-time world champion for rowing.  But her success came at a huge personal toll- physically first in the form of an obsession with her weight, then mentally.  It all came to a head in April last year when Zoe and her rowing partner, Jackie Kiddle were gearing up for the Tokyo Olympics (where a medal was almost a certainty).  They never made it to the Olympics.  After endless...

This bite size snippet comes from the full episode with nutrtionist and runner, Mikki Williden.  If you enjoy this, you should go back to listen to the full episode. In this clip Mikki talks about what an average day should look like if you want to get in great shape and eat so that you look good, feel good and also recover better from exercise (She makes it sound reasonably easy and way less puni...

Mikki is a bad-ass runner (she has run a 2-hour 55 min marathon).  She is also one of the most respected nutritionists in the country, with a PhD in food and nutrition as a souvenir of her nine years of study!  Its a podcast of two halves.  In the first half you'll learn about Mikki.  Then in the second half we get into bit of a Q and A about all things food, like the best way to lose wight, best...

Garth Barfoot is an 86 year old marathon runner and triathlete who has just completed this years London marathon. In this bite size clip, taken from our full conversation, Garth reveals what the next event is that he is eyeing up (Clue: Its further and tougher than a standard marathon). If you enjoy this clip and want to hera more, check out the full podcast with Garth. Dom   Hosted on Acast. See...

86-year-old Garth Barfoot is in London at the time of posting this (participating in the 2022 London marathon).  He has had an incredible career in real estate (Barfoot and Thompson).  But it’s through his feats in endurance running and triathlon events that I know him. What makes Garth even more remarkable is his entry to the sport- he didn’t start competing until his late 50’s, proving it’s neve...

In this bite sized clip, taken from the full conversation with Sir John Kirwan, he explains the running training he did that lead him to score a length of the field try against Italy in the 1987 Rugby World Cup.  One of the greatest All Black tries of all time. You can watch that incredible try right here:   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tzb55_PVvRw If you enjoy this story, you should check out...

Sir John Kirwan is an All Black legend. But its what he has done since retiring from sport that has made him an all-round legend. 15 years ago JK reluctantly spoke publicly about his depression and mental health struggles (we discuss his reluctance in this chat- I won't tell you who pushed him into doing it!) I’m absolutely fizzing about sharing this one- just in time for Mental Health awaren...

This segment comes from Mondays podcast episode. If you want to hear more, feel free to go back and listen to the whole thing. As well as being a fierce former NZ politician, Nikki is a breast cancer survivor.   Like me, her medical procedure left her unable to have her own biological kids.  In this snippet we share our experiences and our feeling around the sense of loss.  Nikki has a fantastic a...

Nikki Kaye is best known as being the former deputy leader of the National party while it was in opposition (and also a high profile cabinet minister during one of the parties most successful stints in power, under John Key). But she is so much more than that.  She’s done the coast to coast multi sport event a few times and was even an age group running champ in her teens.  She is also a cancer su...

This bite sized episode comes from the full length conversation with Brad Smeele, pro wakeboarder turned quadraplegic andn ow a best selling author! The idea of this snippet is to serve as, I guess, like a trailer on Netflix to decide if you want to hear more.  Or pehaps you are time-poor and can't spare a whole hour (maybe after hearing a bite size episode you will decide to go back to the full l...

Brad Smeele was one of the first guests on the podcast (episode 4, March 2022).  He now becomes the first guest I've had on twice. The first episode with Brad is one that I still get messages about most weeks.  I think this conversation will be just as impactful.  So many lessons in here and a look inside his best selling book which has just come out, "Owning it."  Its a great book- I read the ent...

During the first covid lockdown back at the start of 2020, Chanel Harris-Tavita from the Warriors NRL team started writing one day.  Then he wrote some more the next day.  Then the next... Just by starting one day, this awoke in him a love of writing and jornaling that he never knew existed (he said he usually slept duing english at school). This may help you make a start into jounaling (a habit t...

Chanel Harris-Tavita is a 24 year old rugby league player for the Warriors- he's bloody good, too!  Last weekend (Saturday September 3) he played his final game for the Warriors against the Gold Coast Titans at Mt Smart Stadium in Auckland.   He made a decision earlier this year to have a break for the sport that has brought him money and fame and is also the only career he has known. He's not cal...
