Between Two Beers Podcast

Steve cold emailed Jason Paris, the CEO of One New Zealand. He replied in three minutes. In this episode, Seamus and Steve sit down with business coach Di Foster to unpack what landing the biggest naming rights deal in Between Two Beers history actually means for the business, and what it exposes about everything they still haven't figured out.

Di doesn't let the celebration last long. With a One NZ contract signed, she turns the lens on the stuff both of them have been avoiding: Steve's got no emergency fund, no real Plan B, and a YOLO attitude to financial planning that works fine until it doesn't.

Seamus' catastrophising about $200 oil and backyard bunkers while quietly knowing the business needs reserves. And Di, despite decades of business experience, admits she's never actually felt financially secure either.

Stacey Jones has given 27 years to the Warriors - from foundation player to the coaching staff helping build the next generation.

In this episode, he opens up on the try that still haunts him from the 2002 NRL grand final, what it meant to be a household name in New Zealand before social media existed, and why he's never left the Wahs.

In this episode of Hambassadors, Seamus and Steve take you behind the scenes of the biggest week in the podcast’s history.

She ran the Bulldogs, steered Australia Rugby through one of their biggest controversies, and led NZ sport through its toughest years.

So why don't more people know the real Raelene Castle?

In this episode we sit down with one of the most significant sports executives the southern hemisphere has ever produced - and discover that the woman behind the headlines is nothing like the one in them.

We cover the six phone calls she made in four hours that launched her career in sport, what was really happening behind the scenes during the Israel Folau saga, her relationship with Des Hasler, living publicly with alopecia, and why the moment a rugby league legend walked across a sideline just to introduce himself told her everything she needed to know about the game she'd just entered.

Raelene Castle is generous, funny, tough as nails, and completely open in this conversation - it’s so good, we need to re-share it with all our new listeners!

Steve and Seamus sit down with coach Di Foster for their unofficial Q1 review - and it's a big one. New naming sponsor (they can't tell you who yet), a TV deal in the works, and their first ever full-time hire. On paper, the best quarter Between Two Beers has ever had.

But Di isn't letting them off that easy.

In this episode: why securing long-term partnerships changes everything, the embarrassing process breakdown that quietly cost them sales, what it actually means to understand your own value, and why getting what you want is just the beginning.
