Phoebe Harris is a 22-year-old swimmer who joined the Only Fans platform in January 2022 and since then, she has done VERY well for herself.Before Only Fans she was on a WINZ benefit. Now, she earns more than the Prime Minister!So, what IS Only Fans? How much money does she make? How much of a cut do Only Fans take? What sort of backlash and stigma comes with being a success on that platform? What do her partner and parents think of it and much more! Everything you wanted to know about Only Fans but didn’t know who to ask.In this episode we get to learn a bit about Phoebe, who moved to New Zealand from England as a young girl and fell in love with swimming. And how that has led to an insanely financially rewarding career as an Only Fans creator.With her Only Fans income she has created a fitness app, become a landlord with three properties, bought her parents their dream caravan and a new car. She bought her own house at 20 with a $250,000 deposit, she got herself a brand-new Porsche for $340k! She doesn’t drive it all the time though - sometimes she drives her Nissan Navara Ute. And at the time of recording this she had just returned from a first-class trip to Europe.My goal with all these discussions is to try and get a better understanding of a person and their choices through non-judgmental long form conversation. Thanks for understanding and listening.

Strap yourself in for a wild ride- my most chaotic podcast EVER!Andrew Fagan is a kiwi musician. In the 1980’s he was the singer of one of New Zealand’s most popular bands called The Mockers. Chances are, if you know any of their songs it’ll be Forever Tuesday Morning.But for a 12-year-old Dom Harvey. He knew every word of every song. Obsessed is a big word…but that was my relationship with this band called the Mockers. I was a psycho-fan…and I would be prepared fight anyone who dared to disagree they were the best band in the world.So, to sit down for a long conversation with one of my childhood heroes was something truly special. This is by far the most unique and bizarre podcast I’ve ever done- Andrew turned up with his own props including a flag, a stool, a bell, a water spray bottle, guitar and amp.We talk about his life in music, including those years in The Mockers- his recollections of the infamous 1984 Queen Street Riots and the deep impact of losing a bandmate to suicide.We also discuss in great length his love of solo voyages in the open ocean in small boats.Then we go deep with some musings on life, aging, mental health and future goals.Whether you're a long-time fan of The Mockers or new to wonderful world and mind of Andrew Fagan, this episode offers a glimpse into the life of a remarkable New Zealander (who I am lucky to call a mate).
