What can I tell you about Dai Henwood? There's the stuff that you may already know- he is funny, talented, successful and popular. Everyone loves Dai.Then there’s the stuff you may not know- he is one of the kindest people you could ever meet, generous, caring, resilient, strong, brave, intelligent, introspective, thoughtful....He was diagnosed with incurable cancer in 2020. He went public with the news in 2022.And since then, he has somehow managed to coexist with this hideous disease and adjust to his new normal. This year alone, amongst other work commitments, while undergoing grueling treatment, he has written a book and made an incredible 3-part documentary about his cancer journey. We recorded this chat around the same time this documentary came out, so we do chat about that at length.

Sharesies Co-Founder (AND My Cousin!) - Sonya Williams DEBUNKS Stereotypes About Kiwis & Money
Sonya Williams is an absolute powerhouse businesswoman who has played a big part in how Kiwis invest- her and a group of friends started a company called Sharesies in 2016. Fast forward 7 years and...700,000 Kiwis and Aussies now call themselves customers, including 40,000 children.Sharesies employs 230 peopleThe company is valued at $500 million And Sonya and the Sharesies team are just getting started!This is a small part of the Sonya Williams story. We talk in depth about Sharesies: the past present and future. As well as lots of other stuff:The impact of her dad’s brain injury when she was 16.Why she wore her mum’s clothes to her first job interviewWhy she is fiercely defensive of her hometown, Levin.Why the first year of being a mum was so much more challenging that the first year of starting up a business. And so much more from a woman who has helped turn a simple idea into a groundbreaking business venture.This conversation was both easy and challenging- easy because we are family. But challenging because Sonya is so humble and unassuming- she has achieved so much, but definitely isn’t one to sing her own praises…or take compliments from podcasting cousins! Hosted on Acast.
