The Dom Harvey Podcast

On this episode, I talk to Hannah McQueen, a powerhouse Kiwi entrepreneur.
S
he built then sold a company called EnableMe and with it helped thousands of families get control of their finances

Now she’s starting all over again- this time in elderly heathcare with a company called “Brightly.” She is on a mission to completely rethink how we care for ageing New Zealanders.

This is the most unguarded I have ever heard Hannah McQueen and I hope you enjoy getting to know the real Hannah as much as I did.

Along the way:

+ The EnableMe origin story—business plan, boss, exit, and the earn-out grind

+ Why Kiwis avoid money talk

+ The moment a rest home contract lit a fire (and how that became Brightly)

+ The “lighthouse identity” idea: building what people don’t yet know they need. And much much more!

Since 2018, Miles Hurrell has been the CEO of the Fonterra, New Zealand’s largest company with revenue exceeding $22 billion. This is his first ever long-form interview podcast and you will get to see a side of Miles that has never been shown publically before.

There is plenty in her for the rural community and anyone keen to learn more about Fonterra. Including the late-night emails he often gets from pissed off farmers, and the viral “butter-gate” moment on TV1 news last year and what happens when he gets called to Parliament for meetings with MPs.

But this chat is far more personal than anything Miles has done before:
We discuss his messy upbringing with a resilient solo mum, raising 3 boys on a benefit and moving schools constantly. And the very special relationship he has with his mum now, why he insisted on looking for the good in everyone, how he balances a hectic job with a 12-year-old son and much more.

Today’s episode is not an easy listen, but it is an important one.

Thomas Coyle was a forensic scientist who spent more than 30 years working crime scenes, identifying the dead, and helping families find answers after unimaginable loss.

For his service he was acknowledged in the Kings birthday honours list in 2024. And he has just put a book out called “The Dead Speak.”

Thomas has worked over 20,000 crime scenes. He was part of the 2004 Boxing Day tsunami response, the Christchurch earthquakes, and countless murders, suicides, and unexplained deaths across the UK and New Zealand.

This conversation is, at times, gory and shocking. But it is not about gore or shock value.

We talk about what it takes to do this job, what he really thinks of shows like CSI, what death smells like and how he’s learned to live with images that never truly leave.
This is confronting. It’s uncomfortably honest and its unforgettable.

Listener discretion advised.

Alice Robinson is a total legend. At the time of releasing this episode she is in Italy taking part in her 3rd Winter Olympics. And she is still only 24.

We talk about her life on the road chasing winters, the brutal reality of crashing at 140km/h - what that feels like and how she manages fear and risk, her rock-bottom moment at the Beijing Olympics,.

And why her mindset heading into the 2026 Winter Olympics in Cortina, Italy is very different to anything she’s done before and much much more.

Dr. Kieran Kennedy, also known as “the Hot Doc”, is a New Zealand–trained psychiatrist now based in Sydney.

When it comes to his work in adult ADHD assessment and treatment, he is widely regarded as the go to guy in Australian media.
Outside of his medical work, he also dabbles in modelling and bodybuilding. He’s even been on the cover of Men’s Health magazine. Not bad for a farm boy from Waiuku!

In this episode, we cut through the noise and misinformation surrounding ADHD and Dr Kenndy answers YOUR questions:

+ what ADHD actually is
+ why diagnosis has “exploded” in recent years
+ how it presents differently in men and women
+ why assessment can be expensive and slow
+ how ADHD can affect self-esteem, relationships, work, and identity. And much more.

This is a practical, no BS, myth-busting conversation which I hope will be beneficial for anyone who is ADHD curious.
