Keep The Change

Solar power is all the talk right now, especially after supply chains started creating pressure on petrol prices earlier this year. But is it all hype? Or is there genuinely an incredible opportunity for us to harness the sun and go electric here in New Zealand?

Today Im speaking with Mike Casey, founder of Electric Cherries, a cherry orchard in Cromwell powered entirely by electricity and solar.

We discuss the truth about solar, how it can be finances, what kiwis need to know about it and what the future holds. When it comes to investing, everyone is focused on the stock market, crypto or the housing ponzi, but could this be an opportunity sitting right in front of us?

"I can't find a job." "I can't find good staff." I spend a lot of time talking to New Zealanders and I can hear both of these statements in the same week. It doesn’t make sense? If unemployment has climbed to 5.6%, (the highest in 11 years), shouldn't employers have plenty of people to choose from?

Today Luke sits down with Duncan Wood, founder of Boomfa Vintage, to unpack how a side hustle selling secondhand rugby jerseys on Instagram turned into a full-time business.

Duncan shares the mindset shift it took to quit a stable corporate sales job, the fear of breaking the GST threshold that held him back for years, and how posting daily content eventually landed him on the field at an NRL Grand Final. It's a raw look at the risk, patience, and consistency behind building a real business out of a genuine passion.

Over the past few weeks, things have started to feel...normal again. (I have probably jinxed us now!). Even a mate said to me ‘Yeah it’s nice to have a break from the crises but we are surely due for another one 😂’. The next crisis isn't something you'll see coming months in advance. It will probably arrive in a completely different form to the last one. Let's get ready...

Huia grew up in a single-mum household on Waiheke Island where money was never talked about, then found herself as an adult who was, in her own words, "absolutely the wrong person to have a credit card." She opens up about her tertiary overdraft that took years to clear, the guilt she still feels using money for anything beyond basic needs, and how marrying into a family who talked openly about wealth completely changed her relationship with money.

This isn't an expert interview, it's a real, honest conversation with a KTC listener about the messy, ongoing journey of figuring money out.
