Bosses Unfiltered
Kiwi businesses have been navigating the biggest economic turmoil in decades. Wherever you look, business leaders are making tough calls: staff cuts, putting payroll on the credit card, or worst case… closing the business altogether. They thought they had it all: a great idea, solid marketing, and a healthy amount of capital. So where did it all go wrong? And can they ever turn things around? In Bosses Unfiltered, Kerre Woodham, interviews prominent Kiwi businesspeople who’ve experienced failure and adversity and lets them tell their story. When did they realise their dreams weren’t coming true? How big was their fall from grace? How did they pick themselves up and where are they now? Bosses Unfiltered tells the real story behind the headlines. About what it’s really like being in business, in a raw and vulnerable way, while showing that there is light at the end of the tunnel, and that success can quite often come from failure. Listen to Bosses Unfiltered every Thursday morning from 11:30am during Kerre Woodham Mornings, and follow the podcast on iHeartRadio or wherever you get your podcasts.

New Zealand produces enough food to feed 40 million people. Some of it we consume and some some we export.
But a staggering 30% of the food we make or grow goes to waste.
Fruit and vegetables need to look a certain way to make it onto supermarket shelves – or they get tossed.
Angus Simms and his partner Katie Jackson wanted to tackle that problem - so they started Wonky Box three years ago.
