Olympic rowing Americas Cup Team NZ adversity resilience sports success life after sports grinding positivity

Cam Webster was part of the Team NZ crew who won the Americas Cup in Barcelona in 2024.

What made this moment of sporting success even more significant for Cam was the journey he took to get there.

Before joining Team NZ, Cam spent 15 years dedicating his life to rowing. He even endured the devastation of missing out on the Olympics, twice, and watching on TV has his mates went on to win gold medals.

In June 2022 Cam retired from rowing. Then in December that year he trialed for Team NZ and the rest is history.

This is part of the Cam Webster story. It is his first ever podcast and it is an absolute honor that its here with me.

Some of the stuff we talk about include:


+ The frustrations of trying your absolute best and it not being quite good enough.


+ Being told, after years of grinding, that you werent quite good enough to go to the Olympics. Then watching your best friends and former teammates go on to win a gold medal.


+ Adapting to life after rowing and how that drastic life shift looked.


+ Then the Team New Zealand stuff from the grueling trials right up to winning the Americas Cup.


Cam Webster is a hard-working guy with a great attitude. His story is a reminder that sometimes your best is not good enough.

This is also a masterclass in positivity, adversity, resilience and bouncing back from disappointment. So many cool gems and takeaways in this conversation.

Honey HiremeSmiler: Rugby Icon on Juggling Life, Love & Cancer Care

rugby sports cancer care mentorship New Zealand Olympics Prince Harry KiwiSaver

Honey Hireme-Smiler is one of the greatest rugby players New Zealand has ever produced, across both league and union.

But Honey Hireme-Smiler is so much more than just a sporting legend.

Shes a mum, a trailblazer, a role-model, a commentator, a mentor, and an unapologetic force for good.


This is a small part of the Honey Hireme-Smiler story: 


+Stories about her most memorable playing moments. Including playing both league and rugby for New Zealand in two different countries in the space of a week


+The bitter disappointment of not being selected to go to the Olympics then watching the games on TV when her teammates won silver.


+Her journey from self-described town bully to head girl during her high school years.


+Her reflections on nursing her mum during her brief battle with cancer.


There's also lots of fun, light moments too- including a very awkward story about meeting Prince Harry at Buckingham palace!


Honey is the real deal. She was a savage on the field. But off the field she is softly spoken, intelligent, articulate, kind, loyal and hilarious. This was the first time we met, and I felt like she was an old friend.

Dave Wood is a high-performance coach.


He hosts workshops at West Auckland’s Piha Beach called Calm Under Pressure which combine mental and physical challenges- clients (including UFC stars, Team NZ champions and Olympic athletes) often describe these workshops as life changing.

It’s a podcast of two halves. The first half is stuff we can all draw from around mental skill development and personal growth.

The second half is all about Dave and who he is: a kid who struggled with learning who became the youngest surf lifesaving captain in New Zealand before going on some INSANE travel adventures before becoming an emergency paramedic.
