am&courageous conversations
am&courageous conversations is all about digging into the lives of those who are prepared to live courageously. It’s about those who are prepared to use their voice to benefit others and to make a difference in the world. It will examine the impact on those who use that courage to put themselves out there in a relentless news cycle where cancel culture dictates and where the online space can be toxic and pervasive. What’s the downside? What’s the payback? What’s the outcome they want? Are they capable of getting the results? These people are leaders but they may not be in charge of anyone. They’re leading people with their conviction, courage and ‘cojones’ to make a better world. Who are these people? Amanda Millar finds out in a provocative podcast that promises honesty, humour, insights, entertainment and inspiration.

Then he really started soaring when he pioneered new technology to make graphic animations for the world’s most prestigious sports, including the oldest sporting competition, The Americ...
Angela Meyer’s all about change. But the one constant in her life is being revolutionary and a little outrageous. She doesn’t wear a cape (but has been known to wear a neon g-string) in her tireless battle to lift up the women of Aotearoa.
Her life reads a bit like the plot of an action film…from cheating death on the high seas in a yacht with a toddler to peddling home STI kits, where the horny over 50s are a surprising, untapped ...
This is deeply personal, for both women in this conversation.

Why has nothing changed?
