Dion Nash: From 42 Below & Bacardi to 'Triumph and Disaster' - Former Black Caps' Incredible Business Journey

Welcome to episode #2 of the Business in Between podcast.

This week we’re re-visiting our chat with Dion Nash from 2022 where we talked about his transition from professional sportsman to business owner.

The original recording of this episode went for two hours, with the first 90 minutes focused on his upbringing, family and his professional cricket career.

We’re going to join the action on the home-straight, where we switch to his business journey – and it’s a compelling 30 minutes.

Dion talks about his first job out of cricket and his idea to sell bottled water, how he became marketing director for 42 below and his journey working for Bacardi, why he left and how he had the courage to start his own business, Triumph and Disaster.

There are so many gems in this one, and Dion is such a thoughtful bloke. We talk about taking action and breaking stereotypes, how everyone is bluffing it, respecting when you’re in form, how a life with no regrets is a bullshit life and much, much more.

If you love this 30 mins and want to listen to the full ep, you can find it in our back catalogue on the Between Two Beers channel.

We’re also super stoked to tell you about the business we’ve built.
