#37 Mike McRoberts

In this week’s episode, Dave sits down with Mike McRoberts — one of New Zealand’s most respected journalists — for a powerful and deeply reflective kōrero. From reporting in war zones and natural disasters around the world, to battling imposter syndrome and navigating identity, Mike opens up about what it really takes to stand in the middle of chaos and keep showing up.

They dive into trauma, balance, the cost of chasing purpose, learning te reo later in life, and the quiet rebuilding that happens when the cameras are off. This isn’t just a conversation about journalism — it’s about belonging, resilience, and finding clarity after the storm.
