Slow It Down

Think back to 1996.
Dial-up internet, bulky desktop computers and no KiwiSaver.
Investing looked very different. And most New Zealanders had never even heard of Exchange Traded Funds.
In this special episode of Slow it Down, PJ sits down with Nadine Higgins to explore 30 years of investing in New Zealand, how access has changed, and how kiwis can get started on their investing journey to build wealth for the future.
For 30 years, Smart’s been helping New Zealanders invest and grow their wealth, including launching NZ’s first Exchange Traded Fund back in 1996. Find out more at smartinvest.co.nz

Becoming a parent is already the most chaotic time in your life, but the constant overwhelm of information in the modern world is only adding to that chaos.
Julia Telidis and Lauren Skora are the authors of Baby Food Bible and more recently Lunchbox Bible, two incredibly helpful books that give real, useful information on feeding your kids simply and healthily.
In the episode we're chatting about how the two met and decided to write Baby Food Bible, the importance of staying informed, the most common myths and misconceptions about healthy food and so much more!

You'd maybe think after doing a radio show with Matty McLean every single day for years we'd have run out of things to talk about, but clearly you don't know how much we love talking!
This week I'm chatting with my dear friend about his recent move to the countryside with his husband Ryan, his high school experience, the difficulty of coming out in the public eye and so so much more!
This was such a great opportunity for a deep and meaningful with Matty, and a chance to chat about things we usually don't have a chance to talk about on the radio and I really hope you enjoy it!

This week on the show I am joined by Jacqui Beaver. Jax's work sits at the intersection of human potential, leadership and creating intentional lives.
She helps people reconnect with who they are, so they can become the fullest expression of who they can be—whether that's navigating life transitions, creating meaningful change, or developing more humanistic leadership within organisations.
Having worked with New Zealand's leading organisations, and having navigated some significant life changes herself, she brings both real-world leadership experience and a deep understanding of what it means to thrive as humans in a rapidly changing world.
You can learn more about Jacqui, connect with her or explore working with her at www.jacquibeaver.com, or by emailing Jax@jacquibeaver.com or via LinkedIn. Her podcast Unicorns & Hand Grenades can be found wherever you listen to your fave podcasts, and on IG: Unicornsandhandgrenades.life
