In this quick bite, Air New Zealand CFO Richard Thomson lifts the lid on why the airline’s recovery has been harder — and more expensive — than expected. With soaring visa costs to a sharp drop in visitors from China, are we pricing ourselves out of the tourism market? And how is Air NZ staying optimistic as it rebuilds for the future?

Air NZ on facing headwinds
Richard Thompson, Air NZ CFO, joins us to discuss the headwinds facing our national carrier. With engine disruptions pushing costs skyward and grounding sections of the fleet, and up against a tough economy, Richard explains why he remains confident in Air NZ’s future. Why are the new engines from Rolls-Royce lasting only a quarter of their normal maintenance cycle? How do unseen costs like extra inventory play into the engine crisis? How does a weak NZ dollar impact the cost of US parts and materials? And why has the airline chosen this troubled time to carry out a $100 million share buyback? Plus, how rising costs of entry—including pricey visas and a conservation levy—have become a "friction point" for our visitors.

Cracking the mainstream with crypto giant Kraken
Is crypto going mainstream? Dave Ripley is co-CEO of long-standing global crypto exchange Kraken, service provider to Sharesies Crypto. In this episode, crypto “dinosaur” Dave tells us how he’s seeing signs that the financial establishment is ready to embrace digital assets. Dave explains why crypto is a hot topic for lawmakers in Washington, while Texas, Wyoming, and nations like El Salvador are buying Bitcoin, and the US Department of Commerce is adopting blockchain. Why does Dave believe that AI is, by nature, the "exact opposite" of crypto? How does tokenisation work, and why does he say it could change property investing? Hear about Kraken’s “paranoid” dedication to security—and how Dave sees banks, brokers, and fintechs around the world rushing to offer crypto.
