We Need To Talk with Toni Street

Most people are probably uncomfortable with the idea of writing a prenup at the start of a relationship, but lawyer Holly Egerton learnt the hard way that they might be more important that you realise. After breaking off her engagement, Holly got stuck in four years of legal hell when her ex wouldn't agree to sell their house.

They also discuss balancing founding a business and being a mother, how going against the grain can make your business stand out, and being approached by big names such as Naomi Watts and Gwyneth Patrow to sell her products.

You probably recognise Allyson Gofton best from the iconic Food in a Minute, a one minute long cooking show-advertisment hybrid that she hosted for 13 years. After leaving Food in a Minute, Allyson has continued to write cookbooks, including her latest, Give which is all focused around creating delicious food to give as a gift.
However, you probably don't know the struggle Allyson and her family went through for years after her son Jean-Luc suffered a severe concussion during a high school hockey game. Allyson believes that concussions have become so commonplace and normalised that most people don't fully understand how dangerous they actually are.
In the epsiode, Allyson tells Toni Street the heart-wrenching story of what Jean-Luc went through and the years long recovery it entailed, the incredible toll it had on their whole family, and why she believes there should be more education around concussions. Plus she shares the inspirational story that inspired her to write Give, and how buying the book can help support breast cancer research in New Zealand.
