Today, we sit down with Rose Kennedy, the visionary behind Rose’s Dining Table (https://www.rosesdiningtable.co.nz/), a unique experience that turns dining into a form of creative expression.

From quitting her full-time corporate job because she knew she wasn’t herself, to designing immersive dining experiences across New Zealand, Rose shares how her signature pink dining table became a symbol of connection, creativity, and conceptual hospitality.

We talk about the power of shared meals, building a brand rooted in emotion and design, and how one bold idea can create space for community, conversation, and unforgettable experiences.

Unemployment Hits 5.2% 400,000 Kiwi Want More Work

We’ve got to the stage of the cycle where more people than ever want more employment. But many are fishing in the wrong pond or using the wrong fishing line altogether. Why? Well they haven’t been taught how to fish. What if more of them knew how to increase their income by other means? Back when unemployment was 3.3% I was encouraging people to learn how to make more money and I will explain why.

I will explain what I think one of the major headwinds the economy has that may see unemployment increase further from here too! Please be prepared.

A person recently explained that they borrowed money against the equity in their property to invest into shares. They came into some money and paid down non tax-decuctible debt and then turned around and borrowed it to by stocks. Because the new loan is used for investment purposes, the interest is now potentially tax-deductible (not tax advice!!!). We dive into the world of 'debt recycling'.

Put simply: this is a buyer’s market, and it’s looking even colder in winter. Will prices keep falling? Will FOMO return? Will interest rates spark another surge? Maybe. Maybe not. I don’t know, but I can't see where the demand will come from. Here's my case for why housing will be flat for another 12 months.
