Some people leave a legacy.
Some people become the legacy.

This podcast is about one of those people .Terry Fox. Terry is in my opinion the greatest athlete ever to live and quite possibly the greatest Canadian of all time. 46 years ago, a young Canadian with one leg due to cancer set out to run across Canada.

A marathon a day until he had gone across Canada to raise money for cancer research.

I talk with Renata from Terry Fox Run NZ and Michelle from Cancer Research Trust NZ about the incredible cancer research happening here in Aotearoa, the breakthroughs being made, and why Terry’s dream still matters. Because perhaps that’s the greatest thing about Terry Fox. He didn’t finish his run. But the world decided to finish it for him. 46 years later, we’re still running. Still raising. Still researching. Still hoping. Still believing that one person can make a difference…like Terry Fox did !

If you’re in Auckland or Christchurch, you can still be part of this Sunday’s Terry Fox Run. Check out Terry Fox Run NZ for details .The finish line is still out there. Let’s help get Terry there and finish it !

The Coppuccino podcast with Isabel Neal — a 400m superstar who somehow manages to be both blisteringly fast and genuinely one of the kindest humans you’ll ever meet. Izzy brings warmth, humility, and that quiet determination that makes you proud to call her a Kiwi.

Our kōrero is full of laughs, honesty, and those little gems of inspiration you carry with you long after the Coppuccino ends. She’s a champion on the track, but an even better person off it .....

This week on Coppuccino, we’re pouring a conversation that hits heart, science, and humanity all at once. My guest is Nicola Knoble— researcher, safety leader, legal mind, and one of Aotearoa’s strongest voices for neurodiversity done right in the workplace.

Nicola doesn’t just talk about ADHD, autism, and AuDHD — she dismantles myths, reframes support, and brings clarity to the messy, beautiful reality of how different brains thrive. We dive into her TEDx message, her research, her lived experience, and the practical changes every organisation needs to make if they truly want people to flourish.

If you care about people, leadership, wellbeing, or creating workplaces where humans can be humans… this episode is your next cup.

Tune in, take a sip, and let Nicola shift the way you see the world.
