In this episode I sit down with Chris Trenuela and we talk about going against the status quo to walk your own path. He’s made some calculated risks in life and he can say with complete confidence that they’ve paid off. One of these “risks” was not to pursue a degree. He completed a Certificate in fashion design and went into the workforce immediately after. Starting off in retail management, his climb up the corporate ladder was rapid. Within two and a half years he moved into a Business Banking Manager role for the largest bank in New Zealand, which goes to show that it’s all about motivation, mindset and attitude. The hungrier you are, the more bread you’ll get. 

Both being born and having grown up in Aotearoa, we also discuss what it’s like to be in the land of our blood, and how perspectives have changed between childhood and now. 

This is pretty much just a candid conversation between two dickhead brothers who had nothing else better to do than to talk smack.
