Māori Millionaire Podcast

Welcome to How We Money, a six-part series by Māori Millionaire and ANZ designed to help everyday people feel more confident with money.
In Episode 2, Te Kahukura is joined by Jake Nicholson, an Investment Private Banker who supports ANZ Private clients (clients with $1.5M+ in investments). We explore the concept of wealth as freedom - not just money. Looking at long-term savings, emergency funds, investing, and generational goals.
In basic terms we cover off:
What “future wealth” really means
Different pathways to building wealth; not one-size-fits-all
How to start investing and understanding compounding growth
The importance of KiwiSaver - especially as a young person
Māori perspectives on abundance and legacy

What does the current global conflict actually mean for New Zealand’s economy?
In this episode of the Māori Millionaire Podcast, Te Kahukura Boynton sits down with economist Brad Olsen, Chief Executive and Principal Economist at Infometrics, to break down what’s happening in the global economy and what everyday New Zealanders should actually be paying attention to.
Brad is one of New Zealand’s most recognised economic commentators and regularly appears across national media explaining complex economic issues in a clear and practical way.
Together, they unpack the real financial impacts global conflict can have on New Zealand including petrol prices, inflation, KiwiSaver balances, and the risk of stagflation.
Rather than fear based commentary, this conversation focuses on helping people understand what’s happening in the economy so they can make calm, informed financial decisions.
In this episode we cover:
• The biggest economic risks global conflict could pose for New Zealand
• Why petrol prices move so quickly and how high fuel prices could realistically go
• What stagflation means and whether it is a real risk for New Zealand
• Why your KiwiSaver balance might drop during global uncertainty
• The biggest mistakes investors make when markets are volatile
• What everyday New Zealanders should actually focus on over the next few months
If you’ve been seeing headlines about rising fuel prices, falling markets or global instability and wondering what it all means for your money, this episode breaks it down in simple terms.

Last week I invested a couple of grand to sit in a room that challenged the way I think about money, business and identity.
In this episode I unpack what I learned at the One Day Mastery Event in Auckland with Luke Kemmeys from Keep the Change, Sarah Robb from Spring with Sarah and Amy from Levridge.
Before the day had even really started, something stood out to me. I was one of the youngest people in the room and very likely one of the lowest income earners there too.
Which meant I was sitting in conversations and perspectives I am not usually exposed to.
And that was powerful.
Sometimes the value of a room is not just the information. It is the proximity.
In this episode I share some of the biggest ideas that stayed with me, including:
• Why your income will not outgrow your identity
• The concept that energy is currency
• Why every yes in business has an equal no
• How to reverse engineer your income and investment goals
• Why systems, processes and people protect your energy
• The idea of taking “baby retirement days” now instead of waiting until 65
• How to identify the risks in your business and reduce them

I also share a powerful financial planning exercise I learned from Amy at Levridge that helps calculate exactly how much you need to invest each year to reach your long term financial goals.

A lot of money conversations focus on tactics. Save this much. Invest in this. Cut that cost.
But often the real ceiling is identity.
How you see yourself. What you believe is possible for you.
And the rooms you choose to sit in.
Sometimes one room and one conversation can shift everything.

Everyone says “build your personal brand.”
But no one tells you this:
Your personal brand is not about aesthetics. It is a financial asset.
In this episode, I break down how attention turns into income, why clarity makes you money, and how consistency compounds just like investing. We talk about pricing power, trust as currency, and why your lived experience is not a weakness but positioning.
If you want more opportunities, higher paying clients, better partnerships, and long term wealth, you cannot afford to ignore your brand.
This is not about becoming an influencer. It is about building leverage.
If you are a founder, creative, aspiring entrepreneur, or someone who wants to earn more without burning out, this episode will change how you see personal branding forever.
Listen now and start treating your reputation like the asset it is.

Welcome to the final day of the 7 Day Money Reset.
Today we are talking about systems.
Because motivation fades. Inspiration fades. But systems compound.
If your financial progress depends on how you feel, it will always fluctuate.
In this episode we break down how to build a money system that works even when you are tired, busy, or not in the mood.
We cover:
• Why motivation is temporary but systems create stability
• How relying on willpower keeps you starting over
• Why wealthy people automate instead of “trying harder”
• Setting up automatic payments for savings and investments
• Making the right decision the default decision
• Designing accounts with intention
• Weekly money check ins and monthly net worth reviews
• Building infrastructure instead of chasing motivation
Your bank account should not rely on memory.
It should run like a machine.
A good system removes emotion from everyday money decisions.
It creates consistency. It reduces stress. It builds momentum quietly in the background.
You are not trying to “be better” with money.
You are building the infrastructure of someone who builds wealth.
Your action for today:
Before this week ends, set up one automatic payment that moves you forward.
One small system can change everything.
If you have completed all 7 days, share this episode and write “System secured.”
We are not relying on motivation anymore.
We are operating like leaders.
