Sobre este podcast
Kiwi Tales podcasts and videos of Kiwis with interesting stories to tell.
I really enjoy interacting with people on a one on one basis, and trying to understand what makes them tick, and how they came to be where they are in their life today.
I have encountered so many people in my life that have such interesting stories to tell, and have their own unique perspective on the world, and I often find myself thinking what a shame it is we will never know their story.
These people are not always those we might imagine them to be. There are people who live their life quietly without a word as to what they’ve done in their past. There are old folks who have done things in younger days that we would think impossible now.
Everyone has a story to tell, and that is my goal with this little idea, to try and tell them, and in doing so to encourage, provide hope, and to inspire.
