Jim Bacarro and Saab Magalona started one of the first local podcasts back in 2018. From debates about trashy reality shows to talking about the importance of voter registration, they have cultivated quite an engaged community who have dubbed them their /podparents/. Jim and Saab may be the ones doing the talking but they definitely make their listeners feel heard.

Greg Foran is the CEO of Air New Zealand – and one of the country’s most successful businessmen.
Greg started his career as a shelf-stacker in a Hamilton supermarket. By the age of 20 he was a Woolworths manager and by 48 he was on track to be the next CEO of Woolworths Australia – but was overlooked for the top job.
He pivoted to America via China where he started working his way up the Walmart ladder and in 2014 became the CEO of Walmart US.
As CEO of Walmart US – Greg had 1.5 million staff, 4,600 stores across the country and an annual GDP of 300 billion. This was a Kiwi running America’s biggest retailer.
Then in 2020, Greg left Walmart to move home to New Zealand and took the top job at Air New Zealand… just days before Covid-19 started grounding flights.
This was a fascinating chat – and we think you’ll quickly be able to see why Greg has had the career he’s had.
