The Dom Harvey Podcast

The best way to describe Jamie Milne is probably how he signed his Polaroid photo after our podcast- “The Maori David Goggins.”This kid from Rotorua, abandoned by his mum and raised in poverty by a solo dad has grown up to become a man who is addicted to doing hard and uncomfortable stuff. He is a multiple world record holder: his WRs include running the fastest 100km ultramarathon with a 20kg pack, doing the most push ups in an hour (over 1000) and doing over 4000 pull ups in 24 hours. He has also ran the length of New Zealand twice, has done over 100 ultramarathons and attempted SAS selection at the age of 37This conversation is a small part of the Jamie Milne story- a life shaped by hardship, failure, discipline, and an unrelenting drive to go always a little further. Some of the stuff we talk about includes his up bringing without stability and learning resilience early + His rock-bottom moments and radical self-honesty+ Alcohol addiction, recovery, and redefining identity+ And why toughness is built, not inherited Jamie Milne is built different- in the best possible way- you are going to love this episode.*** Massive thanks to my long-term podcast sponsors, Generate.If I could ask you to do one big favour — for me and for yourself — it would be to consider getting KiwiSaver advice from Generate, like I did.The decisions you make with your KiwiSaver now could have a big impact on how much you have to live on in retirement.

Emma Gilmour is one of New Zealand’s motorsport GOATs: a national rally champion, the first female factory driver for McLaren, a business owner and just a great Kiwi.The day before we recorded this, Emma took me for a ride in her rally car, which if I’m being honest was more frightening than it was fun. I mean, afterwards it was fun- once I survived. So, it was nice to turn the tables and put Emma out of her comfort zone for this conversation.We cover a lot of ground in this podcast and some pretty deep and confrontational stuff:+ The mental and physical toll of two major concussions+ Surviving an 8-roll crash at 120km/h+ Her experiences in rallying as a woman in a male-dominated sport+ Building her business- a Suzuki dealership in Dunedin from scratch+ The friendships, failures, therapy sessions and tough decisions that shaped her life. And so much more.Whether you’re a familiar with Emma Gilmour or not, I have no doubt you’ll walk away from this episode inspired- she’s a bloody legend.****Massive thanks to my long-term podcast sponsors, Generate.Generate is an award-winning KiwiSaver provider with a track record of delivering strong long-term returns for their clients- you can see their latest returns for yourself on their website.I became a client when they came on board as the show sponsor and it’s been a gamechanger for me personally- I’m kicking myself for not doing it years earlier.You can book a no obligation chat with one of their awesome KiwiSaver advisers at generatekiwisaver.co.nz/domThe issuer of the scheme is Generate Investment Management Limited.

Steven Setu is one of the most polarizing voices in New Zealand social media: part comedian, part shock-jock, part internet troll. Love him or hate him, Steven Setu gets clicks and people watch...and watch...and watch!In this brutally honest conversation, Steven opens up in ways he never has before.Between the hot takes, the outrageous claims and the controversy, we meet the little boy from West Auckland who grew up without a father, was bullied, struggled with weight and identity, and built an exterior as thick as concrete.But we also see the softness that sits just beneath the surface, especially when he speaks about his mother, his family, and his desire to “never give up.”Across nearly two hours, Steven and I discuss masculinity, mental health, cancel culture, freedom of speech, bullying, body image, resilience and much much more.As always with these conversations- the goal remains the same- to get a greater understanding of a person, their actions and their thought processes through non- judgmental long form conversation.This is Steven Setu: unfiltered, challenged, and closer than ever before.

He is a guest who represents what it means to come back from the unthinkable.

Minutes later, in a dark lift shaft, Shaun was shot in the face at point-blank range. He survived. Barely. And somehow, he found a way not just to recover, but to rebuild.In this episode, Shaun takes us inside that day with remarkable clarity: From racing into the CBD at high speed with sirens blasting, to passing terrified victims on the stairwell, to the exact moment the gunman fired and Shaun realized his teeth were shattered.
