Show Notes
Today I sit down with solopreneur Otene Willams.
We discuss the benefits and detriments of being raised by feminine energy, the fact that no one gate keeps here in Bali which is different to NZ, the 'Mr Nice Guy' and the impact that's had on us both, navigating how to be a man all alone and feeling the absence of his dad the most in his later years of life.
Another Māori/Kiwi that's really giving it a crack.

More from THE MARTIN SHOW
In this conversation, matchmaker Amy B joins me to unpack the modern dating crisis, why dating apps may be making it harder to find genuine connection, and why more men are choosing to opt out of dating altogether.
In this episode, I sit down with Seb Serrano, also known as 9-5er for an honest conversation about the 9–5. We talk about whether a conventional life is really a mundane one, why doing more isn’t always the answer, and why learning to rest can be an act of self-love. Seb also opens up about his own lost phase, what helped him come through the other side, male depression, his Chilean whakapapa, and one of the things many of us struggle with most: receiving love. A conversation about slowing down, finding your way back to yourself, and questioning whether we’re actually living — or simply getting through the week.
In this episode, Daini Tuiqere opens up about rock bottom, fatherhood, and becoming the man he never had to look up to.
In this conversation, Ethan opens up about growing up in Wairoa, being naturally shy, and the journey that took him from NIDA to seven years on one of Australia’s biggest TV shows, Home and Away. We talk about self-love vs self-care, learning to feel deserving of success, why we put people and achievements on a pedestal, and the importance of worrying less about what others think. Ethan also shares his proudest moment on Home and Away, his relationship with his brother, and how working on an Australian soap has helped him connect more deeply with his Māori culture. A conversation about identity, success, culture and becoming comfortable with who you are.
