A Penny for your Thoughts
A chat show with my peers from New Zealand and across the world, talking about who they are and what they do, why they do it and any lessons learned. These conversations can sometimes be a little confronting, as we deal with loss in a number of the chats. It is important that we have these conversations, particularly as men to show that it is good to talk.
I have included a link in the podcasts for you to support the show, 50% of all subscriptions will be given to Orange Sky, a charity that works with the homeless here in New Zealand and in Australia.
Here is their website:
Orange Sky NZ | Supporting people experiencing homelessness
This is a charity that I volunteer my time to and I am keen to support as much as I can. The remaining 50% of subscriptions will be used to support the production of this and other podcasts that I will be creating and publishing into the future.
Thanks everyone!

In Conversation with Pamela Bell
Pamela Bell is the Chief Everything Officer at the New Zealand Institute of Building. She is also an Innovation Consultant and Board Director for a range of start-ups, Council controlled entities and commercial organisations in the built environment.
Pamela is passionate about innovative construction, affordable housing, and added-value timber. She has subject matter expertise in offsite manufacturing, design-thinking approaches, dynamic strategy, and future-focused governance. Her diverse background spans:
- Olympic-level sport (snowboard racing Nagano, Japan),
- Architecture research and writing (MArch, Kiwi Prefab book + exhibition),
- Business entrepreneurship (PrefabNZ Inc, Fruition Apparel Ltd, NZ Snowboard Academy Ltd),
- Governance (including XFrame, Urban Plus, Seaview Marina, Abodo Wood, ConCOVE, MBIE Building Advisory Panel + BRANZ).
Pamela founded the peak body for innovative construction, PrefabNZ, in 2010 from her Master of Architecture thesis Kiwi Prefab which was also turned into a book and museum exhibition. She handed over the reins in 2019 when offsite construction reached a tipping point of awareness for central government, the construction industry, and the public alike.
Pamela has been the lucky recipient of several awards including the Victoria University of Wellington (VUW) Alumni Award (2019). She is an Adjunct Professor at VUW investigating the relationship between design thinking and business. Most recently she has become intrigued about the interface between design thinking and governance for the boardroom with a series of articles and interactive workshops for the New Zealand Institute of Directors.
