It’s been a big year for many of us - with lots of challenges that put us to the test.
A huge thanks to Neil Wagstaff and Tony Martin for joint me as we put some locals through their paces.
Also thanks to O Studio Hawke’s Bay for being our first stop in the morning for a sauna and some contrast therapy and Topline Contracting Limited and Ta**us for hosting us for morning tea and a walk through your amazing business.

The Roady Workshop | August 15 | Hastings

This unique event from the team behind Profit Unleashed offers a behind-the-scenes, boots-on-the-ground experience focused on one powerful theme: resilience - in business and in life.

Participants will take part in a moving, hands-on tour, visiting the spaces of some of the most impactful voices from past Profit Unleashed events. They’ll hear real stories, ask the questions that didn’t get asked on stage, and gain unfiltered insight into what drives resilience and growth.

The experience concludes with a closed-door workshop - no stage, no crowd - just 20 local business leaders engaging in honest, practical conversations.

Were you at the last Profit Unleashed event or did you hear about it and wished you went?
Did Ta**us Taurima’s raw, real story stick with you?
Well, here’s your chance to go deeper.
The Roady Workshop is heading to Topline Contracting to spend time with Ta**us himself.
This isn’t a keynote or a panel – it’s face-to-face time with a business leader who’s faced the fire and come out stronger. His story of resilience, leadership, and impact on youth in Hawke’s Bay is something every business owner can learn from. https://www.theprofit.co.nz/unleash/
Come with questions. Leave with insights.
