Well & Good with Art Green

Jase Te Patu

Jase Te Patu is a yoga and meditation teacher with a difference. He’s using traditional Maori legends and concepts to improve the lives of children as young as just one year old.

 

Jase is the owner of Awhi yoga and wellbeing, which is based around the Maori framework of hauora. He’s a conscious thinker about the way we live our lives today, and how things like technology, social media and our awareness of mental health are impacting us all.

 

This is a fascinating discussion that almost verges on philosophy at times. Jase talks about growing the courage to speak his truth, and the breakthrough of being able to speak it despite the fear of what people might think.

 

Jase’s message is actually really liberating and freeing. He’s plainly a great person to be educating the next generation, although his practical approach to wellness is valuable to people of all ages. Hope you guys agree!

Ricardo Christie & Sophie Steevens

Ricardo Christie and Sophie Steevens are a plant-based couple with a remarkable story about how the right diet can do wonders for your way of life. 

Ricardo is New Zealand’s top pro surfer, and Sophie is a prominent author and advocate for a raw vegan diet. They both have their own powerful motivation for being plant-based; Ricardo for the pure benefits he feels it has for him as an athlete, and Sophie for helping her to defy medical advice and overcome an auto-immune disease.

They talk about the lifestyle impacts of their dietary requirements, particularly being social and on the road, how they get all their nutrients, and have some helpful advice for anyone looking to try out a plant-based diet. 

They share a unique and compelling story, which they tell without wanting to influence anyone else; they just talk about what works for them and their three kids. They’re cool and relatable and we loved this chat.

Daniel and Justine Flynn

Daniel and Justine Flynn are on a super ambitious mission to end extreme poverty around the world. They’re the founders of consumer goods company Thank You, which donates 100 percent of its profits towards poverty causes. 

 

These guys are an incredible couple. Their story is one of absolute dedication to humanity.   Daniel & Justine will not stop until they have changed the system; redistributing wealth from consumer spending.   The open conversation covers the toll  that the hard work has had on them personally. Justine talks openly about her battle for a sustainable lifestyle, which came to a crescendo when she suffered a massive burnout in 2017. She has some life changing advice about separating work from play, and how to go at a ‘Pace of Grace’. 

 

These two are literally out there trying to change the world. They’re inspiring and entertaining, and hold vision and hope for what is possible. They’ll make you think differently about the things you buy and the power we have to make a difference in the world. Not to mention an exclusive announcement that you’ll only hear on this podcast!

Kelly Noonan Gores

We are beyond thrilled to have Kelly Noonan Gores on the show today. Kelly is best known as the woman behind the well-known Netflix documentary Heal. As producer, director and writer of the documentary, Kelly explores the body’s ability to heal itself, in a way that often challenges modern medicine.

 

Kelly joined us from a beach in Malibu, talking about her experiences of making a documentary, what she learned about stress, toxicity and pressure, quantum physics and how she spent an hour and a half listening to a wizard answer just one of her questions. Down to earth and relatable, Kelly talks about the common things people do to recover from terminal illnesses, and how health doesn’t have to come from a pill or a medicine.

 

There’s a lot to tie in to Kelly’s approach to health, but Kelly does it really easily. Hope you guys enjoy it.

Jim Hughes

How does an odd-jobs guy turn himself into an international business coach? Find out with Jim Hughes, the man behind The Untamed Entrepreneur.

Jim is a jack of all trades when it comes to his mentoring. He talks about things like exercise, fitness, and diet, but also finding your passion, being in a state of flow, and how to use the two sides of your brain in making decisions. One thing he’s really big on is not being overly regimented with any one exercise or wellness technique. His approach is do what feels right, when it feels right - and don’t beat yourself up if you don’t quite achieve what you wanted to.

This is business and life advice for everyday people. Jim’s relaxed approach makes improvement seem really achievable, instead of some far-off goal.  He’s encouraging and funny, and provides a really good reminder that you don’t have to do absolutely everything in order to make progress. 

This episode, quite simply is just awesome life advice! Enjoy this time with the man embracing his new nickname, The Computer Gypsy.

Introducing Thorley Robbins from The Avo Tree

To kick off the sixth season of Well & Good we are so excited to chat to our season sponsor, the founder of The Avo Tree Thorley Robbins, in what could possibly be described as the most millennial episode of all time where we cover all things avocados! 

Thorley Robbins grew up on his parent's orchard in Katikati, and had a passion for horticulture from a very young age. Five years ago, sick of the disappointment of over-ripe, pre-squished supermarket avocados, he started sending his freshly picked, non-cool stored avo’s from the Bay Of Plenty straight customers' doorsteps. He started The Avo Tree with one simple goal in mind - providing fresh, quality avocados to Kiwis all over NZ. 

Thorley chats about where the business idea started, the difference between The Avo Trees avos and the ones we buy from the supermarket, the best way to keep your avos fresh for longer, and all of the nutritional benefits they have. We also chat about all the exciting things in the pipeline for The Avo Tree.

Joe Daymond

Joe Daymond is a kiwi comedian on a rapid ascent. Three years ago he was working in property in Auckland, but he wasn’t happy. He always wanted to try comedy, so he signed up to an open mic night and quite literally the rest is history. He is well and truly the bees knees in the world of comedy  (and in his own words he’s “the f*cking man”). 

 

This is an awesome chat talking about life’s turning points, dealing with criticism and outside perceptions. Joe is refreshingly honest and down to earth...and yeah, he’s pretty funny too.

 

Disclaimer: there is the odd use of the 'F' bomb.
