Keep The Change

Dave Wood is one of New Zealand's leading experts on stress control, from working as an intensive care paramedic to coaching some of the UFC's top fighters, and today I sat down with him to understand how to better harness & control our own stress.

Dave breaks down the crisis of unprecedented levels of stimulation in the modern age, how to control your stress level and the breathing techniques anyone can use to see results for themselves. Your ability to control your state under pressure is a skill, it's time to develop it.

Mark from Feijoa built an app that rounds up your spending and puts it straight into KiwiSaver. 3,000 users are now contributing hundreds if not thousands per year extra without thinking about it.

Mark breaks down how it works, we cover why they chose KiwiSaver first, the 1.6 million who don't regularly contribute, and how roundups solve the behaviour problem traditional saving can't.

We cover the regulatory hurdles, why they use open banking, and the expansion plans into managed funds and ETFs. Plus Mark's fundraising journey, from bootstrapping to raising $750K to scale the marketing and tell more people about automatic saving.

The question a grandparent asked me this week. They had been tucking money away weekly for their grandchildren and wanted to know if they were missing something by not investing the money. They currently save it into a bank account. Great intentions but times have changed a bit! Over long periods of time, investing can dramatically outperform cash sitting in a bank account. So how do we go about it?

New Zealand liquidations have hit a 15-year high, the highest since the GFC. Todays guest is lawyer Brent Norling who's receiving 160 calls a month from businesses drowning in tax debt, one of the main driving factors of these liquidations.

IRD debt has exploded from $2.5 billion to $9.5 billion, with the next update likely starting with a 10. The pattern is often the same: lose money on a job, do the next job to pay for the previous one, then use IRD and creditors to fund the shortfall until it all collapses.

We cover why employees get burnt when Kiwisaver deductions aren't paid, the construction domino effect when big companies fail, and why most directors never get prosecuted despite owing millions. Plus the harsh reality: if you're using IRD as your bank, you're competing unfairly until you get caught.

The liquidation wave is here. Don't be next.

That subject line sounds so sexy. But one of my first jobs out of uni was not so sexy. Being an auditor. Don’t you dare judge me. This meant that in my early 20s, I worked inside councils, universities, government organisations, and powerline companies reviewing payroll systems and employee records. I think this experience mattered more than I realised at the time. Because once you’ve seen the data, it becomes harder to believe the story that earning well is impossible.
