Doctor Inia Raumati is an absolute savage - as well as being an emergency doctor in the intense Auckland Hospital, he also an inspirational adventurer who has taken part in desert ultra-marathon runs all over the world that last for a week.
When we recorded this, he was halfway through an audacious goal to complete events on all 8 continents of the world during 2024- the usual 7 plus Zealandia.
We talk about these events in depth- the level of planning and preparation is, as you’d expect, next level. These runs are no joke…so don’t be fooled by the way he talks about them like they are no big deal!
Then the professional stuff- his time as a medic in Iraq for the NZ army, his time as a volunteer for the Westpac rescue helicopter and life as an emergency doctor- including working in hospital during the pandemic, the amount of violence and anger the staff encounter every weekend and what it feels like when a patient you are working on dies and so much more. It was a fascinating insight into a world I knew nothing about from a guy who has seen it all!
This chat was organized by Inias fiancé Vicki who is my vet. I thought it would be one for the running nerds, but it is much more than that. Inia is just a super inspiring and positive guy who is living his best life and wants to help others do the same. I loved our conversation and I hope you do too.

Out of curiosity, I was asking my partner, Ash, about her Kiwisaver recently.
Her story is like almost everyone. Her parents insisted she signed up as soon as she started working- which is bloody great. But that’s about as much as she could tell me about it.
Most of us just get into whatever the default provider is offered by our first employer, then leave it at that.
