🎙️ Episode 13: The DUI That Almost Cost Him New Zealand

Description: What happens when one bad decision behind the wheel puts your entire future in New Zealand at risk? In this deeply personal episode of Soft Landing, I sit down with a close friend who shares his raw and honest story of getting caught driving under the influence (DUI) in New Zealand.

He opens up about the moment he was pulled over, the stress of going through the legal system, and how the incident rippled through every part of his life—his visa, job, family, and mental health. It's a cautionary tale that every immigrant, newcomer, and long-term resident needs to hear.

We cover:

What actually happens when you're charged with a DUI in NZ
The emotional and legal impact on visa holders
How it affected his career and personal life
A powerful message for anyone thinking “it’ll never happen to me”

Whether you’re new to New Zealand or you’ve been here for years, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.
