  • Anahita Paul - Artist & Photographer
    Today on the podcast, I speak with Anahita Paul—a mixed media artist and photographer based in Tāmaki Makaurau, Auckland Grounded in visual storytelling and the intersection between content and art, Anahita works across photography, painting, and collage, often layering traditional editorial imagery with analog techniques. She’s created editorial content and commercial projects for brands like Mecca Beauty, Glasshouse Fragrances, Bronwyn, RUUSH, Stylerunner and Remix Magazine We talk about Anahita's creative journey, her self-initiated creative projects that caught the attention of her dream clients and the importance of putting your work out there. We talk in detail about her creative process and how she approaches new projects - I was fascinated. And of course, I had to ask her best tips on creating social media content that really connects (and maybe even goes viral). I loved this conversation with Anahita, not only was just lovely to chat with and so open, I find her work so unique, clever and refreshing and I came away feeling so inspired. I know you’ll love this kōrero with Anahita as much as I did. After listening, be sure to visit her website anahitapaul.com but more importantly make sure you find her on Instagram or Tiktok @anahitapaul and if you are anything like me you will spend a long time being completely mesmerized seeing her beautiful mixed media creations come to life.

  • Gemma Gillett - Studio Gemma + The Joinery Edit
    Today on the podcast, I speak with Gemma Gillett — interior architect, founder of Studio Gemma, and creator of The Joinery Edit, an online education platform bridging the gap between designers and joiners.After graduating from Massey University, Gemma spent nine years forging her career in London - working for several highly regarded interior design studios including Godrich Interiors. In 2014 Gemma relocated to Sydney and after the birth of her second son, she launched her solo venture, Studio Gemma, her own design practice specialising in interiors that are as functional as they are beautiful.But Gemma’s passion for design extends beyond her own projects. The Joinery Edit started as a side project—an Instagram account dedicated to celebrating the art of joinery—and has since evolved into a thriving resource for interior designers, home renovators and design enthusiasts looking to deepen their knowledge and collaborate more effectively with trades.In this conversation, we chat about Gemma’s journey from fresh design graduate to running her own studio, why she finds joinery sexy, how she’s built a platform that’s changing the way designers and trades collaborate. This chat is very conversational, it feels like Gemma is an old friend! She’s funny, sharp, so bloody talented and a little bit outrageous. I know you will enjoy my kōrero with Gemma as much as I did.After listening, make sure you check out @_studiogemma_ on Instagram — it’s an absolute goldmine of inspiration and insights for design lovers.

  • Becs Caughey - Cook & Nelson + Good Sh*t Soda
    Today on the podcast, I speak with Becs Caughey—co-founder of Cook & Nelson and Poptimist, the creators of Good Sh*t Soda.Becs has never followed a conventional career path. She started out managing some of New Zealand's biggest musicians, including Shapeshifter and Ladi6, which took her all over the world. But when touring life became less sustainable, she pivoted into the world of food and, alongside her husband Nick, started Cook & Nelson, a company that brings trailblazing international food brands to New Zealand—think McClure's Pickles, Seedlip, and Tony's Chocolonely.Then, during Covid, Becs, Nick and a few business partners set out to create a product of their own and co-founded Poptimist, the company behind Good Sh*t Soda*—the world's first pre- and pro-biotic soda, made right here in New Zealand. In this conversation, Becs shares her journey— how she's built businesses that align with her lifestyle, the lessons she's learned along the way, and how she approaches life with big-picture thinking and infectious enthusiasm. I loved this chat! Becs is sharp, funny, and this episode is full of brilliant business insights. I know you will enjoy my kōrero with Becs as much as I did.After this episode, make sure you head to cookandnelson.com and goodshitsoda.com.
