The Dom Harvey Podcast

In this podcast, New Zealand golf legend Michael Campbell opens up like never before."Cambo" is one of the greatest golfers NZ has ever produced. His pinnacle was in 2005 when he beat Tiger Woods at the peak of his powers to win the US Open.This podcast has plenty of incredible golf stories and we drop a lot of big names like Nicklaus, Norman, Daly and Fox. But this is so much more than a golf nostalgia conversation.We talk about māori identity, mana, grief, family, humility, the cost of success, tall poppy culture, trust, and the strange limbo of achieving your life’s biggest goal , then having to figure out who you are afterwards. This conversation is funny. It’s emotional. It’s honest. And it even has a story about a solo haka in front of Nelson Mandela!***Massive thanks to my long-term podcast sponsors, Generate.Generate is an award-winning KiwiSaver provider with a track record of delivering strong long-term returns for their clients- you can see their latest returns for yourself on their website.I became a client when they came on board as the show sponsor and it’s been a gamechanger for me personally- I’m kicking myself for not doing it years earlier.You can book a no obligation chat with one of their awesome KiwiSaver advisers at generatekiwisaver.co.nz/domThe issuer of the scheme is Generate Investment Management Limited.

Brad Thorn career is a highlights reel: NRL premierships with the Broncos, 59 All Black tests with an 85% win rate including a Rugby World Cup title and a reputation as one of the toughest men to ever play.But this may be the most vulnerable and personal podcast Brad has ever given.“Thorny” opens up about:+ Why he turned down an All-Blacks selection in 2001, his thoughts on the All Blacks coaching role and the sacking of Razor Robertson, why he swore at Sir Wayne Smith a few days before the 2011 RWC final and plenty more sports stuff.Then there is the off-field areas:+ His mums Alzheimer’s disease and the heartbreak of her no longer recognizing him.+ His “womanizer” party years in the NRL.+ Finding faith at the height of success at the Broncos, and the backlash that followed.+ Fatherhood, masculinity, anxiety, what excellence looks like now and much more!.For a man considered to be one of the hardest All Blacks of this century this conversation is Reflective. Honest. And surprisingly tender. This was the first time we met, but by the time we finished I felt like we had known each other for years.***Massive thanks to my long-term podcast sponsors, Generate.Generate is an award-winning KiwiSaver provider with a track record of delivering strong long-term returns for their clients- you can see their latest returns for yourself on their website.I became a client when they came on board as the show sponsor and it’s been a gamechanger for me personally- I’m kicking myself for not doing it years earlier.You can book a no obligation chat with one of their awesome KiwiSaver advisers at generatekiwisaver.co.nz/domThe issuer of the scheme is Generate Investment Management Limited.

On this episode, I talk to Hannah McQueen, a powerhouse Kiwi entrepreneur. She built then sold a company called EnableMe and with it helped thousands of families get control of their financesNow she’s starting all over again- this time in elderly heathcare with a company called “Brightly.” She is on a mission to completely rethink how we care for ageing New Zealanders.This is the most unguarded I have ever heard Hannah McQueen and I hope you enjoy getting to know the real Hannah as much as I did.Along the way:+ The EnableMe origin story—business plan, boss, exit, and the earn-out grind+ Why Kiwis avoid money talk+ The moment a rest home contract lit a fire (and how that became Brightly)+ The “lighthouse identity” idea: building what people don’t yet know they need. And much much more! Check out more about Brightly here: https://www.agebrightly.co.nz/And for Hannah's podcast, "The Next Bit": https://youtube.com/@thenextbitpodcast

Since 2018, Miles Hurrell has been the CEO of the Fonterra, New Zealand’s largest company with revenue exceeding $22 billion. This is his first ever long-form interview podcast and you will get to see a side of Miles that has never been shown publically before.There is plenty in her for the rural community and anyone keen to learn more about Fonterra. Including the late-night emails he often gets from pissed off farmers, and the viral “butter-gate” moment on TV1 news last year and what happens when he gets called to Parliament for meetings with MPs.But this chat is far more personal than anything Miles has done before: We discuss his messy upbringing with a resilient solo mum, raising 3 boys on a benefit and moving schools constantly. And the very special relationship he has with his mum now, why he insisted on looking for the good in everyone, how he balances a hectic job with a 12-year-old son and much more.***Massive thanks to my long-term podcast sponsors, Generate.Generate is an award-winning KiwiSaver provider with a track record of delivering strong long-term returns for their clients- you can see their latest returns for yourself on their website.I became a client when they came on board as the show sponsor and it’s been a gamechanger for me personally- I’m kicking myself for not doing it years earlier.You can book a no obligation chat with one of their awesome KiwiSaver advisers at generatekiwisaver.co.nz/domThe issuer of the scheme is Generate Investment Management Limited.

Today’s episode is not an easy listen, but it is an important one.Thomas Coyle was a forensic scientist who spent more than 30 years working crime scenes, identifying the dead, and helping families find answers after unimaginable loss.For his service he was acknowledged in the Kings birthday honours list in 2024. And he has just put a book out called “The Dead Speak.”Thomas has worked over 20,000 crime scenes. He was part of the 2004 Boxing Day tsunami response, the Christchurch earthquakes, and countless murders, suicides, and unexplained deaths across the UK and New Zealand.This conversation is, at times, gory and shocking. But it is not about gore or shock value.We talk about what it takes to do this job, what he really thinks of shows like CSI, what death smells like and how he’s learned to live with images that never truly leave.This is confronting. It’s uncomfortably honest and its unforgettable.Listener discretion advised.    

Alice Robinson is a total legend. At the time of releasing this episode she is in Italy taking part in her 3rd Winter Olympics. And she is still only 24.We talk about her life on the road chasing winters, the brutal reality of crashing at 140km/h - what that feels like and how she manages fear and risk, her rock-bottom moment at the Beijing Olympics,.And why her mindset heading into the 2026 Winter Olympics in Cortina, Italy is very different to anything she’s done before and much much more.***Massive thanks to my long-term podcast sponsors, Generate.Generate has a strong track record of long-term performance — You can check out their latest returns on their website.They also have advisers who can come to you and help you figure out the right KiwiSaver setup for your goals — no pressure, just good advice.Head to generatekiwisaver.co.nz/dom to book a chatThe issuer of the scheme is Generate Investment Management Limited.

Dr. Kieran Kennedy, also known as “the Hot Doc”, is a New Zealand–trained psychiatrist now based in Sydney.When it comes to his work in adult ADHD assessment and treatment, he is widely regarded as the go to guy in Australian media.Outside of his medical work, he also dabbles in modelling and bodybuilding. He’s even been on the cover of Men’s Health magazine. Not bad for a farm boy from Waiuku!In this episode, we cut through the noise and misinformation surrounding ADHD and Dr Kenndy answers  YOUR questions: + what ADHD actually is+ why diagnosis has “exploded” in recent years+ how it presents differently in men and women+ why assessment can be expensive and slow+ how ADHD can affect self-esteem, relationships, work, and identity. And much more.This is a practical, no BS, myth-busting conversation which I hope will be beneficial for anyone who is ADHD curious.

Sir Rod Drury is one of New Zealand’s most influential business leaders, and genuinely one of the most fun and inspiring kiwis I’ve ever met through the podcast. Whether you know the name or not, you most definitely know the company he founded when he was 40: Xero, a company that grew from a Wellington apartment into a global platform with over 4.5 million customers, thousands of employees and billions in revenue.We talk about the Xero back story- how a skater boy from Hawkes Bay with a stutter built a global brand. But this conversation goes far beyond accounting software.Recorded at his jaw-dropping property in Queenstown, Rod opens about identity after stepping away from Xero, the personal cost of building a global business, how he conquered a debilitating stutter, why he’s now focused on large-scale public good projects that could shape New Zealand for generations and so much more.Rod is such a forward thinker, I got the impression he is bored by reflecting on what he has done and is much more energized by what he plans to do. So I appreciate him indulging me for this podcast by treading over some old ground.This is a wide-ranging conversation about success, meaning, community, and what really matters when the grind slows down.I left this podcast feeling so inspired and proud. It reminded me that there are some really cool, super talented Kiwis who love New Zealand and are doing what they can to make it the best little country on the planet.****Massive thanks to my long-term podcast sponsors, Generate.Generate is an award-winning KiwiSaver provider with a track record of delivering strong long-term returns for their clients- you can see their latest returns for yourself on their website.I became a client when they came on board as the show sponsor and it’s been a gamechanger for me personally- I’m kicking myself for not doing it years earlier.You can book a no obligation chat with one of their awesome KiwiSaver advisers at generatekiwisaver.co.nz/domThe issuer of the scheme is Generate Investment Management Limited.
