How Do We Manage Business & Friendship? Answering Listener Questions & More! Hambassadors #22

On this episode of Between two Beers we’re rewinding the clock back to February of 2023 when we sat down with Dame Lisa Carrington. 

This was a really cool chat with arguably New Zealand’s greatest athlete and we wanted to re-share it with all our new listeners.

Lisa is New Zealand’s most successful Olympian of all time with five Olympic gold medals in the sprint Kayak, one bronze and 12 World Championship titles. 

For over a decade, Lisa has been the best in the world at her sport and after listening to this conversation it will become clear why. 

We go deep inside the mind of a champion, and talk about her relationship with self-doubt and high performance, why she hasn’t missed training in 13 years, and how she deals with race-day pressure. We also hear about her passport slip-ups, gym playlists, superstitions, the power of journalling, and all the best and most entertaining stories from a life on the road. 

Seamus and I were mesmerized by this chat in places. It's so rare you get such an extended period of time to probe away at the inner workings of the very best in the world, and Lisa’s discipline, thought process, and ability to articulate how she succeeds was really, really cool.

We’re also super stoked to tell you about the business we’ve built. If you’d like to hire one of our incredible guests to speak or MC your event, check out our epic lineup at B2Bspeakers.co.nz and get in touch.

Listen on iheart or wherever you get your podcasts from, or watch the video on Youtube.

Inside the Mind of Dame Lisa Carrington: NZ’s Most Decorated Olympian

Ali Williams is a former All Black who was a professional rugby player for 16 years, played 77 times for New Zealand and won the Rugby World Cup in 2011.

This was Ali’s first long-form podcast and it turned into something really quite special.

We covered perception vs reality, his blended family operation with mega-successful businesswoman Anna Mowbray, why he’s investing in Auckland FC, his relationship with his dad, his best stories from the All Blacks, *That night in Paris*, retirement and what he’s doing now.

This was one of our most memorable episodes. There were laughs and tears, ideas challenged, and perceptions shifted.

Ali is comfortable being the life of the party- but also operates with real depth in his thinking.

He’s a super unique guy and I think you’ll get a lot out of this one, we loved it.

Ali Williams on the Highs & Lows of All Blacks Career, Auckland FC, Fatherhood & More!

William Pike is one of our low-key legends who is a world-class story teller, with an exceptional story to tell.

In 2007 he was guiding a friend to the summit of Ruapehu when the mountain erupted. As a layer of rocks, water and mud rained down on his Dome shelter, he was crushed and critically injured.

When he next woke up in hospital, his leg was gone. Doctors called William’s survival a miracle, but his crushed right leg had to be amputated below the knee. After a long series of surgeries and a gruelling rehabilitation, William learned to walk again with a prosthetic limb – and what he’s done with his life since is equally remarkable and inspiring.

This episode is gripping. William’s harrowing account of being trapped on the mountain, anticipating death will stick with you. The community that rallied to save and support him in the rescue and rehab will  warm your heart – and how he’s used the adversity to thrive in life will inspire.

You’ll love this one.

We're also super stoked to announce that William has joined us at B2B Speakers and is available to share his story at your function or event. As you’re about to hear, William is one of the best speakers in NZ and you can now get him to your work or event by flicking us a message at B2Bspeakers.co.nz. Also check out our epic lineup of former guests available for hire too. And while there sign up to our weekly newsletter with all the biggest news from us and the podcasting space in NZ.
