    The Habits That ACTUALLY Lead to Sustainable Weight Loss

    01/2/2026 | 32 mins.
    In this first episode of Habits of High Performers Podcast, I sit down with Caroline to explain why the podcast has evolved from Lead On Purpose and what this new chapter is really about. We talk habits over hustle, consistency over intensity, and why real performance is built quietly over time.

    What we cover:

    Why the podcast was rebranded and what listeners can expect from this new season
    The habits that actually drive health, energy, and long term performance
    Installing habits versus breaking them, and why stopping behaviours often matters more
    How simple systems, triggers, and rewards make habits stick
    Why ease, simplicity, and patience outperform grind and pressure

    If you want to perform better without burning out, and build habits that actually last, this episode sets the tone for everything to come.

    Robbie Paul on The Truth About Venture Capital No One Explains Clearly

    27/1/2026 | 1h 9 mins.
    In this episode of Lead On Purpose, I sit down with Robbie Paul from Icehouse Ventures to demystify venture capital and what it really takes to back world class founders. We unpack risk and reward, bootstrapping versus raising capital, the traits behind standout leadership, and why trust and honesty are non negotiable in a long game industry.

    What we cover:

    What venture capital actually is, and why it has a different risk and return profile to KiwiSaver and index funds
    Bootstrapping versus taking capital, and how external funding can level up ambition, clarity, and accountability
    Behind the scenes stories from Kiwi success plays like Crimson and Power by Proxy, and what makes a founder worth backing
    The reality of failure in venture, why safe bets rarely create outsized outcomes, and what successful founders do differently
    How to pitch and build relationships the right way, plus why honesty beats hype when trust is the real currency

    If you want a clearer understanding of how great companies are built, why people matter more than ideas, and what long term leadership really looks like, this conversation will stretch your thinking.

    The Money System Most Kiwis Don’t Question and Why They Should with Sam Stubbs

    25/1/2026 | 59 mins.
    In this episode of Lead On Purpose, I sit down with Sam Stubbs, founder of Simplicity, to unpack why simplicity is the ultimate performance advantage. In life. In leadership. And especially with money. We talk about dignity, choices, long game thinking, and how KiwiSaver could help build a fairer future for everyday Kiwis.

    What we cover:

    Why Sam founded Simplicity and the idea of being a “dignity company” that gives people more choices
    The hedonistic treadmill, why more money stops adding happiness, and why giving feels better than getting
    Why money is simpler than the finance world makes it look, and the two hour fundamentals anyone can learn
    The hidden power of fees, compounding, and why long term investing beats chasing short term performance
    How KiwiSaver could fund New Zealand’s future, from infrastructure to housing, and what it means for the next 30 years

    If you want a clearer way to think about money, purpose, and the long game, this conversation will make you feel calmer. And more in control.

    Thomas McClary: I Walked Four Blocks to School While Police Stood By

    20/1/2026 | 1h 20 mins.
    In this episode of Lead On Purpose, I sit down with Thomas McClary, founding member and lead guitarist of The Commodores, to unpack how purpose, love, and intention can carry you through adversity, shape world class success, and keep you grounded when life gets loud.

    What we cover:

    His childhood integrating a white school in Florida, and why he chose love over bitterness
    How music became a bridge for unity, and the start of his intentional approach to impact
    The origin story of The Commodores, meeting Lionel Richie, and the “Black Beatles” vision
    Perseverance in the early grind, leading to opening for The Jackson 5 and global momentum
    Staying grounded in fame, leading with humility, and measuring life by moments and who you touch

    If you want a reminder that your purpose is bigger than your pain, and that intention can turn even the hardest chapters into fuel, this conversation will stay with you.

    Why low fee index investing and patience usually outperform chasing returns
    How to balance KiwiSaver with investing outside it to get bonuses without locking all your money away
