  • I am not ok

    There is an ad far to frequently saying I’m not ok. Yeh I get it mental health is important but if you have to play ads to pay for your podcast how about you not play the say one on playback constantly.

  • Audio quality

    Useful stuff but could do with better audio. Could also do with better diversity of host (different change from Frances would be welcomed) as well as greater ethnic diversity of guests.

  • Decent show, but…

    Consistently bad audio since Business Desk took over. Dunno if it’s software or internet issues, but it’s every episode so it’s on the interviewer’s end. Not a good look, needs to be fixed.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Can you still hit your first $100k? With Luke Kemeys of Keep the Change
Q: Like, what is the single piece of advice you give to someone overwhelmed by trying to hit that $100k goal?
Start with something simple, get started, then course-correct as you go. A small initial action builds momentum, which makes the goal feel more achievable and leads to a cascade of further actions and refinements.
Bite: Inside NZ's billion-dollar kiwifruit industry
Q: Can you just describe, what does Seeka do and how do you fit in the kiwifruit ecosystem?
Seeka positions itself as an integrated producer with kiwifruit as its foundation, owning large orchards and automated pack houses, and has expanded into other produce like avocados to build resilience beyond kiwifruit fluctuations.
Seeka’s $440m high-tech harvest (Kiwifruit & more)
Q: What are the biggest risks and how is Seeka addressing them?
Key risks include inflationary pressures on energy and packaging, and contractor compliance; we mitigate by energy management, solar installations, load management, and maintaining a strict compliance program to ensure safe, responsible labor practices across our workforce.
Seeka’s $440m high-tech harvest (Kiwifruit & more)
Q: What role does automation and technology play in Seeka's strategy?
Automation is central to our growth; we are deploying automated packing, cool stores, and AI-driven product segregation to optimize load-out and reduce labour dependence, while improving speed and quality across our 11 packing sites and wider network.
Seeka’s $440m high-tech harvest (Kiwifruit & more)
Q: Can you describe what Seeka does and how you fit in the kiwifruit ecosystem?

We also run Seeka Fresh, which markets and exports fruit and imports produce, creating a full-service platform from orchard to consumer.
