The Absolute Chaos of Flatting in New Zealand Flatting sounds simple - until four people, one fridge, one heat pump and a group chat are expected to somehow form a functioning society. Kai gets into the chaos of flatting in New Zealand, from passive-aggressive group chat messages and cleaning rosters nobody follows to communal food disappearing and the flatmate whose partner definitely “doesn’t live here” despite being there six nights a week. There’s also the serious stuff: rent, bonds, the difference between tenants and flatmates, and New Zealand’s new pet bond rules — including the terrifying experience of basically submitting a CV for your dog just to convince the landlord. Plus, who controls the heat pump? Who owes who $4.37? And at what point does your flatmate’s partner officially become another resident? Play Episode
Travel Small, Experience More, Fully Hosted What does it really mean to travel on a fully hosted small-group tour? This week on Beyond the Boarding Pass, I’m joined by Peter Roddam, founder of YOURTours, to talk about the world of small-group touring, and why travelling with a group of like-minded people can become so much more than simply following an itinerary. Peter has spent years in the travel, tourism and hospitality industry and is a certified International Tour Director, with a career built around people, service and creating memorable travel experiences. We get into what actually happens behind the scenes of a hosted tour, what a tour host does from the moment guests leave home, why YOURTours deliberately keeps groups small, and how those shared experiences can turn strangers into friends. This is fully hosted at it's fullest, guests are picked up from their own homes and returned there at the end of the journey, while the YOURTours host flies internationally with the group, staying with them throughout the adventure. With small groups and a dedicated host, the idea is to create something more personal, with room for flexibility, local experiences, great food, plenty of stories and, of course, a bit of fun along the way. So, is small-group hosted touring the sweet spot between independent travel and a traditional big coach tour? Join us for a conversation with Peter Roddam on Beyond the Boarding Pass to find out.

Workplaces That Work, Part 1: Does Your Work Environment Help You Succeed? When someone struggles at work, it is easy to focus on their capability, attitude or performance. But functioning happens in context. The physical environment, policies, culture, communication, expectations and unwritten rules can all help someone succeed—or make ordinary work much harder than it needs to be. In this episode, Stephen looks at the hidden work inside ordinary work: filtering sensory input, decoding unclear communication, handling interruptions, holding information in working memory, masking and recovering afterwards. He also considers the “competence trap”, where good performance hides an unsustainable personal cost. The episode introduces a friction audit as a practical way to identify recurring confusion, overload, delays, and recovery debt. It asks a more useful question than “Why can’t this person cope?”: What is making successful performance unnecessarily difficult? Go to ThrivalCoaching.nz for additional information and resources.
