Paula Bennett's life journey has had plenty of ups and down - going from a teenage solo mum in Taupo all the way to deputy Prime Minister - but it's taught her a lot along the way. One thing she has learned is it’s never too late to learn something new.

In Ask Me Anything, Paula will be talking to Kiwis from all walks of life, to learn how they got to where they are, and to share stories, advice and guidance the rest of us can learn from.  New episodes out every Sunday.

Ask Me Anything with Paula Bennett

Going from a teenage solo mum in Taupo all the way to deputy Prime Minister was a journey with plenty of ups and downs along the way, but it taught me a lot. Now, with a mid life crisis reinvention under my belt, I want to share some of the advice I’ve learnt along the way – and I’ll be bringing some of my friends along to share their stories and teach me a thing or two as well.
