The Truth About Building Wealth - And Why Money Mindset Matters More Than You Think
5d ago00:57:57Tap to summarizeMoney isn't just about dollars. It's about mindset, opportunity and the stories we tell ourselves. This week, I sit down with Te Kahukura Boynton, founder of Māori Millionaire, to unpack her remarkable journey from struggling with addiction and poor mental health to becoming one of New Zealand's most influential voices in financial education. Together we explore why financial literacy alone isn't enough, how trauma shapes our relationship with money, and why taking personal responsibility can exist alongside recognising the systemic barriers many people face. We also dive into investing, building long-term wealth, avoiding financial scams, creating better money habits and the advice every young New Zealander should hear before they start earning. Whether you're just beginning your financial journey or looking to reset your money mindset, this is a conversation packed with practical lessons and plenty of hope.

Inheritance, Wills, and The Cost of Not Planning Ahead
3w ago00:46:46Tap to summarizeWills Week is approaching! And after recently coming into some inheritance myself, I thought what better an opportunity than to discuss it right here on the podcast! Joining me for this week's discussion is Catherine Simpson from Public Trust, and later on, Shelley Palman from enable.me! Unpack everything you need to know about wills, estates, inheritance, executors, and why having a plan in place can save your family months, or even years, of stress. We talk through the biggest misconceptions, what happens if no will exists, how long estates really take to settle, and why naming the right executor matters more than most people realise. We also cover trusts, pets in wills, leaving money to charity, blended families, family disputes and the surprisingly common mistakes that can create expensive legal battles. Whether you've just bought your first home, started a family or simply keep putting it off, this episode is a practical guide to one of the most important pieces of financial planning you'll ever do. A message from Public Trust: This Wills Week (13-19 July) Public Trust is encouraging Kiwi to take a fresh look at how they plan for the future – including what happens to their pets when they pass away. A little planning now can help ensure your pet is looked after in the way you would want, giving you peace of mind for their future.
