  • The backlash from Country Calendar’s most-watched and how he handled it
  • Building brands like 42Below, Trilogy and more
  • The mission to make NZ farming climate positive
  • His partnership with wife Justine and their family journey


Whether you're interested in entrepreneurship, branding, sustainability or just great storytelling - this episode delivers.


Watch through to the end for reflections on leadership, vision, and why Geoff believes New Zealand’s best days are still ahead.
