Today we met Vinay and Alister from BetterCo. An accounting and advisory firm with PURPOSE, PEOPLE AND PROFIT at the forefront. Today we talked about the role of money in our lives and how we could change our thinking and habits. Money is often kept private, and for some reason, not everyone is taught the basic skills and understanding about how to become the manager of our money instead of being managed by money. Tune in, and we hope this episode sparks some thought or inspires you to take action.

Today we introduced Devan Narsai, a creative on a journey of discovery and inquisition. We looked into mustering the courage to get our foot in the door and following gut instincts. Devan's journey has been one which defies the normal and speaks to making it okay to not always having it all figured out.

Today we introduced 'The Bearded Entrepreneur', Gareth Edwards.

We talked about overcoming and adapting in tough situations. Harnessing grit, determination and focus with a can-do attitude. Finally, we touch on Gareth's journey as he prepares to complete his 60-hour tire flip challenge.

There is light in the darkness. For most of us our ‘normal’ is changing very rapidly and we have all had to adjust as we take some time to move inside. Today we sat down with Will Fleming from the Please Blow My Mind Podcast and we discussed everything from using wet wipes, to what it means to physically pick ourselves up when we are at our absolute lowest. It’s times like this where we need to share kindness, love and positivity, we hope this podcast does that for you.

Today we sat down and spoke to the host of the Mai FM, Mai Nights show, Randy Sjafrie. The young 20 year old shares his story in his pursuit to reach his dreams of being a radio announcer and the way he went about creating his life. The hustle game is strong as Randy talks about balancing 2 jobs, family and social life and we dabble into his love for shoes.

Today's episode is going to be slightly different. Our host Akash, sits down with New Zealand based Bollywood fusion hiphop dancer Anish Patel. Instead of having a full on structured discussion with a clear direction we decided to loosen the reigns and have more of an informal discussion about life, learnings and culture. It’s our first time following this structure and method but we thought we would give it a shot. Let us know what you think of the episode, until next time BE HUMAN, BE NOW.

Welcome back to our first episode of 2020!

We are excited to have you with us on our journey as we MAKE POSITIVITY LOUDER!

Today we introduced Auckland based filmmaker Fraser Grut and discussed his life passion "The 10,000 Dreams Movement." As we get older we often forget to live and or fulfill our dreams. Tune in as Fraser discusses his project which will only end in 2044 and the obstacles, challenges and interesting encounters he has faced since beginning his journey!

It’s the end of another year and for some of us we will be reflecting back and making changes, while others simply continue moving forward. Whatever your case we hope you have had a great year.

To end this years run of podcasts we decided to change it up. Today’s episode features Akash Kumar as he reflects back on the year, discussing why the podcast had a break and the general ups and downs throughout the year. With a little change in attitude, an improved purpose and new habits, the team at the HUMAN:NOW are signing the year off on a high.

Thank you so much for those who have been with us on this journey, your love and support means the world to us. Stay safe over the break and we will be sure to catch you in the new year, bringing 10X the amount of POSITIVITY.

Whether we want to believe it or not, we are all emotional beings, just some of us more than others. Our body, mind and intellect work away in the “background” as we do life.

Have you ever wondered how your emotions play into your life?

How do you deal with your emotions?

Where do your emotions get stored in your body?

Today we introduced Jayshree Patel, Dr Anjali Rattan and Karishma Kumar and discussed the way emotions play into our lives and the way we deal with them in relation to our body.

Today we introduced Albie Roebeck, Amelia Lowe and Telisha Krishna and talked about our experiences and thoughts around MENTAL HEALTH.

Everyone at some point in their lives will know of someone or will experience a dark patch in their life which is completely NORMAL. The team discusses what we can do to support those around us and raise awareness around mental health.

If you are looking for help, or support please know you can call or text 1737 at anytime to speak to someone.

As Albie Roebeck says,

YOU ARE LOVED

YOU ARE WORTH IT

YOU MEAN SOMETHING TO EVERYONE

ESPECIALLY ME.

Thank you so much to the team for sharing their thoughts and vulnerabilities.

Growth and learning is our baseline.

Therefore, in addition to discussing themes and ideas relating to BEING in this state of time, we thought it would be great to take advantage of our guests and extract a little more out of them.

You’ve met him already. Today we got Rex Braganza to talk about “FAT LOSS”.

“Cue the insecurity”, hey its only human to FEEL.

For those like me, they may want to make a healthy shift in their lifestyle, for some they may want the “summer beach bod” and for others, well they may be perfectly fine the way they are.

Today Rex gives us his understanding around the fat in our bodies and how we can think about them.

This could be a sensitive podcast for some, but we believe in bringing all ideas to an open platform.

Take a listen and let us know what you think.

Most of us if not all, have experienced and are affected by BODY IMAGE.

Body Image is the perception or thought which we have of ourselves and our bodies.

In today's episode we sat down with Rex Braganza, a New Zealand competitive bodybuilder and fitness professional.

We discussed ideas around what positive and negative male body image and what we can do to change our perspectives on the way we think about body image.

This episode is not only for men, as the lessons and experiences shared affect all people.

We are in the middle of planning a female body image episode, so stay tuned.

Do we really know our true potential?

Do we know our absolute limit?

On today's podcast the team met Daniel Christev, an old school mate who has found love and passion for distance running.

Daniel talks about his journey with ultra marathon running and how he handled being in a situation where he performed better than he had planned to.

Have you ever been in a situation where you've done better than you've expected?

Welcome to the HUMAN:NOW podcast where OUR PURPOSE IS TO MAKE POSITIVITY LOUDER, and a space where we discuss ideas around what it means to BE in this state of time.

Today we introduced Akshita Nama, Bhavesh Bhuthadia and Brad Scahill. The team talked about their RELATIONSHIPS WITH CREATIVITY, what it means to be a creative and how they use it to overcome challenges and creative blocks.

We are all creatives however most of us limit ourselves based on the comparison of the work of others. This weeks challenge is to draw or take a picture of anything and to simply share it with the HUMAN:NOW team. Share your image or picture by using the hashtag #thehumannowthisismydrawing

What is your super power?

What is that innate value which is your truth?

Today we introduced The Disciples an hip hop fusion dance duo from New Zealand.

We discussed how one can find a spark of inspiration and then mould and create their passion.

The team talk about how they manage their education and professional careers around dance and the way families and relationships balance into ones journey.

Today we discussed a quote by Humble the Poet.

"There is no growth in your comfort zone, there's no comfort in your growth zone".

We cannot expect to be in a different place if we keep doing the same things. To change you circumstance it is going to require you to get uncomfortable. Tune in to the team to find out how you could go about this.

Our purpose with this podcast is to MAKE POSITIVITY LOUDER.
