The Dom Harvey Podcast

Tony Quinn is a Scottish-born businessman based in Australia with massive links to New Zealand.

He built and sold the pet food business VIP and now owns four racetracks, including Highlands, Hampton Downs and Taupō Motorsport Park in New Zealand - Not bad from a kid who grew up in a wooden caravan!

We talk about losing his daughter to cancer, the loneliness that followed the breakdown of his 38 year marriage, the big wins and losses of his business life, the thrill of driving Michael Schumacers F1 car, almost dying in 2022, the buzz he got from giving life changing sums of money away to staff, his obsession with MAFS! And so much more.

We’ve all got that one mate who’s convinced they’ve worked out how to beat the market, usually with a lot of confidence and no actual expertise.

So, here's your reminder not to get caught up in the noise and trust the real investment experts at Generate.
I sat down with a Generate KiwiSaver adviser when they came on as sponsor in 2023, and it was one of those conversations that made me think, why didn’t I do this earlier?

A Generate adviser can help you figure out what fund type is best suited to your KiwiSaver goals.

Coming up- Retired New York fire fighter, lieutenant David Morkal

On September 11, 2001, David Morkal woke up in New Jersey, helping his father-in-law with some renovations.
That night, he was down at Ground Zero standing on the rubble of the Twin Towers. Surrounded by 2763 people who passed away- including 343 firefighters. On his first drive home, he had to pull over because he was crying too hard to see the road.
Dave spent 33 years with the New York City Fire Department.
Twenty-five years on from the attacks, he joins me to talk about the friends he lost, the responsibility of helping rebuild, and learning to live with what happened.

Erica Stanford is one of the most formidable politicians in New Zealand and, by her own admission, much happier talking about policy than herself. But this conversation is about the person behind the portfolio.

Erica opens up about mum guilt, the sacrifices her family has made, the brutal pressure of politics and whether she sees herself as a future Prime Minister.

We also discover her obsession with Coke Zero, her love of Green Day and the wonderfully weird man she’s been with since she was a teenager. Erics is the Education Minister...but this podcast is about the woman behind the fancy job title.

Like a lot of Kiwis, I spent years blowing off my KiwiSaver- telling myself I’ll worry about it later.
Turns out “later” comes around faster than you think, and the decisions you make now could be the difference between counting every dollar in retirement or having the freedom to do some fun stuff and not stressing out every time a bill turns up.
I switched my KiwiSaver account to Generate after they came on board, and honestly, I should’ve done it sooner.

On this Fast Cast, UFC fighter Dan “The Hangman” Hooker reflects on the biggest loss of his career- the 2018 fight with Edson Barboza. A fight that left him with a fractured eye-socket, vertigo and a 5 week wait for surgery. But it also gave him the reputation as a guy who never ever gives up.

This Fast Cast has been taken from Dans full appearance on The Dom Harvey Podcast. If you want to hear the complete conversation, search “Dan Hooker” on You Tube or right here on this podcast platform.
