We are officially back in New Zealand, back in the studio, and back in full swing — and this episode could not have marked the return any better.
This week’s guest is a very special return legend, best-selling author Aaron Ryan.
Aaron first appeared on the show all the way back on Episode 3, and from that first conversation a genuine friendship and creative kinship formed. We’ve stayed in touch ever since — and when he jumped back on the call this time, something different happened…
There was no pre-match banter.
No warm-up.
No easing in.
We hit record instantly… and were laughing two seconds later.
This episode is:
✔️ Deep
✔️ Honest
✔️ Insightful
✔️ And properly laugh-out-loud funny
From storytelling and creativity, to writing, life, pressure, success, failure and everything in between — this is one of those conversations that just flows.
Editing this one back had me genuinely laughing out loud from start to finish.
If you’ve followed the show from the early days — this episode is for you.
