Ep 38: The Company Giving Away $11,000 A Day (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Sam Stubbs grew up knowing exactly what it felt like not to have money. Today, the company he founded manages billions. But Simplicity was built differently. It is a nonprofit, gives millions back into New Zealand communities and is investing heavily in housing, while Sam has some fascinating ideas about what business, wealth and success should actually be for. Annah talks with Sam about poverty, money, ambition, ageing, family, the inability to completely switch off, and why he believes New Zea
Ep 37: Annah Went To Prison... In Europe. Here’s What She Found (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Annah went to Norway and Scotland with one question: what happens when prison becomes more than simply somewhere we detain women? RAW independently funded the research, taking Annah inside Skien Women’s Prison in Norway and HMP Stirling in Scotland, two women’s prisons taking thought-leading approaches to detention.

Ep 36: She Left School Early. Then Reinvented Education. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Frances Valintine left school early and didn’t make it to university until her 40s. She then went on to become one of New Zealand’s most influential voices in technology and education, building The Mind Lab, Tech Futures Lab and academyEX, and challenging some pretty entrenched ideas about when, where and how we’re supposed to learn.

Ep 35: She Survived Coercive Control…Then Started Building A Way Out Of It (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This is not an easy listen… but it's an important one. In this episode of Stretton Unfiltered, Annah sits down with Krystal, a woman she has walked alongside for over a decade through RAW, to trace the relationship back to where it began… in a safe house, in the middle of active addiction, at the start of what RAW would eventually become. Krystal shares what it was like being born into crisis, raised without the tools to parent her own children, and caught for years in relationships where she wa
Ep 34: Three Generations of Working Mums: What It Actually Takes (opens the original)
Read excerpt
New Zealand's conversation around motherhood and work has suddenly become political again, with paid parental leave now firmly on the election agenda. But beyond the politics, what does making motherhood and work coexist actually look like? Annah and Sami take the conversation into lived experience, tracing three generations of working motherhood through Vicki, Annah and now Sami. From raising five children in a very different era, to building a company while the children grew up inside it, to S
