In this compelling episode, I sit down for an intimate conversation with none other than the now 'Sir' Ashley Bloomfield, the man who spearheaded New Zealand's response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

We explore the highs, low's, regrets and triumphs that came with being at the coalface during one of the most challenging and dividing periods in New Zealand's history. Ashley is able to offer a unique perspective on the intricacies of leadership during a crisis and the influence it has on public trust and response.

Through it all, Ashley's optimism and his focus on kindness and fairness shone through, and to me he remains a genuinely nice guy who loves his country and wants to do everything he can to make it the best it can be.
