  • Should There Be an Olympic Sport for Photographing Olympic Sports?
    Feb 26 2026

    In this episode of Smashing PBs, host Shyr Godfrey sits down with Alisha Lovrich, a world-class sports photographer that has covered events like the Paris Olympic Games and the recent Milan Winter Olympic Games.


    Alisha shares her path from competitive athletics to sports photography after injury forced her to step away from racing. What started as bringing her camera to the track to stay connected with her teammates soon became a career built on taking chances and knowing how to capture the exact moment that an athlete has pushed beyond their limits. Drawing clear parallels between sport and photography, Alisha explains how composition, timing, and pressure exist in both worlds.


    The conversation explores the realities of elite sports photography including limited access, split-second decision-making, and the physical demands of the job, alongside the personal sacrifices required to chase opportunities on the world stage. Alisha reflects on photographing New Zealand athletes at the Olympics, including the power of representation and why seeing competitors like Zoe Hobbs and Eliza McCartney matters so deeply for the next generation of female athletes.


    Alisha speaks to what true success really requires: the courage to put yourself out there and chase every opportunity that comes your way, while still having the resilience to accept when things don’t work out.

  • Did the Pool Teach Us Mindfulness Before We Had a Name for It?
    Jan 27 2026

    This is the very first episode of Smashing PBs, hosted by Forty Thieves co-founder Shyr Godfrey.


    For the opening conversation, Shyr sits down with her husband and business partner, Brent Godfrey, who leads Finance and Operations at Forty Thieves. Together, while raising three children, they’ve grown their business, with 2025 marking a huge year of growth - including over 500% growth within one of New Zealand’s largest supermarket chains.


    Brent reflects on the role sport played in shaping his mindset from a young age, and how the discipline, consistency and grit he learned through training - especially on the days he didn’t feel like showing up - laid the foundation for building and running a high-growth FMCG business. He also shares his thoughts on the importance of goal setting, alongside the reality that running a business is often messy, unpredictable and chaotic.


    He remembers some of his earliest sporting memories, unpacks the mental discipline required to finish 11th in the iconic Auckland Marathon, and speaks openly about the importance of surrounding yourself with the right people to keep you accountable.


    Brent also offers a grounded reminder: no matter how fast you might seem to someone else, there’s always someone faster - unless, of course, you’re Kipchoge!


    A thoughtful, honest conversation about sport, business, and what it really takes to keep showing up and push your own personal bests.
