Über diesen Titel

Introducing Hunger & Heart, a podcast about the intersection of wild ambition and fierce compassion, hosted by entrepreneur Kaila Colbin.


Kaila tackles the myth that you can either empathise or get the job done, but not both. She talks to people who have managed to perform at the absolute highest level while still holding tightly to their values — specifically, sportspeople — revealing insights that apply not only to sports but to the world of work and beyond.

    Dame Susan Devoy: “It sort of broke me, but I wouldn't admit that at the time”
    Apr 7 2026

    Dame Susan Devoy dominated international squash through the 1980s: world number one for nearly a decade, four-time world champion, eight-time British Open winner, and the most decorated player in New Zealand squash history.


    Her achievements were recognised with numerous honours, and she went on to serve in prominent leadership roles — including five years as New Zealand's Race Relations Commissioner.


    In this conversation, Kaila and Dame Susan explore:


    • what it took to leave New Zealand and become world champion at just 17,
    • the specific techniques her parents used to build both fierce independence and wild ambition, and
    • how she sees her journey differently in hindsight.


    A huge thanks to Celebrity Speakers for supporting this episode. If you want to book Dame Susan for a keynote and leave your audience buzzing, visit celebrityspeakers.co.nz.

  • Kieran Read: “We lost that ability to get the best outta our people”

    Kieran Read: “We lost that ability to get the best outta our people”
    Mar 31 2026

    Kieran Read is rugby royalty: former Crusaders captain, former All Blacks captain, one of the most capped players of all time, and the fifth most capped All Black in history.


    He played 127 Tests, scored 26 international tries, and is one of only 45 players worldwide to have won multiple men’s Rugby World Cups.


    In this conversation, Kaila and Kieran explore:


    • the specific techniques the Crusaders use to create belonging,
    • the link between care and high standards, and
    • how lessons from elite rugby translate into the business world.

  • Marina Erakovic: “You’re all alone out there, you have no team”

    Marina Erakovic: “You’re all alone out there, you have no team”
    Mar 24 2026

    Marina Erakovic spent a decade ranked inside the world's top 100 tennis players. She competed in 36 Grand Slams, reached a career-high ranking of 39, and won 9 WTA (Women’s Tennis Association) and 18 ITF (International Tennis Federation) titles.


    Marina represented New Zealand at two Olympic Games and one Commonwealth Games, and played more than 600 main draw singles matches, including 44 at Grand Slam level.


    In this conversation, Kaila and Marina explore:


    • her family's immigration story,
    • what it's really like trying to make it in a massive global sport when New Zealand has almost no support or infrastructure,
    • the sacrifices that made her career possible, and the pressure that came along with those sacrifices, and,
    • why tennis was the right fit for her — how it matched the way her brain works, why it lit her up, and how, over time, she learned to grow not just as an athlete, but as a person.


    A huge thanks to Celebrity Speakers for supporting this episode. If you want to book Marina for a keynote and leave your audience buzzing, visit celebrityspeakers.co.nz.
