The Dom Harvey Podcast

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. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

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.

David Niethe, one of New Zealand’s top mental performance coaches, is back on the podcast. He first came on as a guest in October 2024 when his book “The Winning Mindset” came out. In that episode a big part of the focus was on who Dave is and his backstory.For this episode the focus is less on Dave and all on…YOU!This is a practical, no-BS episode all about how you and I can design a better life in 2026. David breaks down the mindset and behavioral principles he’s used for 30+ years coaching high performers and everyday people: creating and using a vision boards the right way, goal setting, upgrading self-talk and building the daily habits that move you forward.This episode isn’t meant for everyone. It’s for people who are done with “hoping this year is better” and want tools to actually create change by taking their life and destiny into their own control. Hosted on Acast.

The guest on this episode is Kallia McFarland, a private investigator and the founder of Serpenti Investigations. If you’re watched a lot of TV shows and movies like me and you thought “private investigator” means trench coat, binoculars, and staking out cheaters with a box of donuts…you’re not alone. But Kallia’s work is way broader, and way more interesting.In this conversation we get into what she actually does day to day: fraud investigations, workplace and ACC-related cases, skip tracing (tracking down people who have gone into hiding) and serving legal documents, often in situations where things can go from 0-100 really quickly.We also go into Kallia’s very unexpected path to this career: from Air Force medic, to primary school teacher, to becoming a PI, plus the personal health journey that changed her life, and how she ended up finding family in a way she never expected: becoming a wife and a stepmum, and hearing the word “Mum” from two kids who helped heal a part of her heart.This one is honest, funny, and surprisingly human. And if you’ve ever wondered what private investigators really do in New Zealand, you’ll learn a lot.https://www.serpenti.co.nz/ Hosted on Acast.
