Kiwi Flees

About Kiwi Flees

New Zealand's a world champion at exporting its people to almost every country on earth. Nearly a million of us now don’t call NZ home. This is like a million billboards telling a unique New Zealander Story. Kiwi Flees is on a light-touch mission to find a few of them and share their stories – a blend of personal and professional in each conversation. From pioneers to innovators, artists & scholars, chefs & inventors, musicians & physicians, volunteers & athletes, bureaucrats & business leaders. Our aim is to energise and open the minds of our South Pacific tribe - part booster-shot, part virtual campfire - helping keep Kiwis abroad connected to each other and to their former homeland as we share their uniquely international New Zealander Stories. New releases every fortnight.

   Ollie Law - Resilience Guru, Services Exporter, Front-Door Opener.

   In this pod I catch up with Ollie Law, Co-Founder and Group Managing Director of Fixinc Group, who joins me from Kuala Lumpur after leaving Christchurch in late January 2026. Ollie is the freshest Kiwi Flee I’ve spoken to, to date. At the time of recording, he’s only been out of New Zealand for eight months, which gives this conversation a different edge. This isn’t someone 20 years offshore looking back. It’s a conversation with someone still validating the move, and working out the cost-ben...

   Helen von Dadelszen - Courageous Action Champion, Public Speaking & Vocal Coach, Author.

   In this pod I catch up with public speaking and vocal coach, Helen von Dadelszen - a Kiwi now living in Crassier, Vaud, near Geneva in Switzerland. Helen works with professionals who want to speak with confidence and impact. Her coaching draws on psychology, theatre, singing, improv, and vocal training, along with the useful but slightly terrifying truth that simply having something important to say doesn't automatically mean people will hear it. Helen left NZ in the early 2000s withou...
