Duncan Wood has been a rugby fanatic since the age of four. This passion drove him to collect vintage jerseys where he first transformed his collection into an online showcase via Instagram. His knack for spotting value led him to start buying and selling the jerseys. And over the past three years, he’s grown his brand, Boomfa Vintage, from a hobby to a soon-to-be full-time business!
Join me as I chat to Duncan about his journey with Boomfa Vintage, travel, moving to Auckland, going all-in, billboard advertising, and much more.

Ron Park is the mussel king! After moving to New Zealand as a 6 year old, his entrepreneurial spirit was evident from a young age. In his first year of uni, he sold NZ supplements back to Korea and did so well he had enough money for a house deposit. Then he found out New Zealand made supplements weren’t actually made in NZ. This set him on the journey to founding Korure, a supplement business sourced from New Zealand Green Lipped Mussels.
In this episode, Ron and I discuss Korure’s backstory, the benefits of close-knit communities, AI, medicinal cannabis, as well as the importance of education, technology, and health in shaping a better future.

It wasn’t until he discovered a business class that his passion for business was reignited. Not content with learning in a classroom, Oakley left university to start a car detailing business and fulfil his childhood goal.
Join me as we talk about Oakley’s childhood, why he chose car detailing, how he used Tiktok to grow his business, taking big risks, and so much more.
