Seán and Carl are two passionate book lovers who are unlocking great books!
In each episode we explore a book, and how it has translated into our world, or the world of someone else. We think reading is fun, and important, and we encourage you to read these books and let us know what you think!
Every episode is a very listenable 20-30mins... great for the commute or when you're out for a wander.

Welcome to The 232 Degrees Podcast!
We love books and reading, and those who know us know that we love a good conversation.
This is a special one for Seán - his new book The Impact Professional was released in March and we recorded live at the launch at Addington Coop in Ōtautahi-Christchurch.
Its a fun conversation exploring our potential to deliver positive change in our professional roles.
The Impact Professional can be found here: impactprofessional.nz
There you will find links to Amazon for Kindle and Paperback copies (global), and also ways to get a copy in New Zealand.
We think you’ll love it!
And stay tuned for Season 4 + Sean’s new Impact Professional pod!

Welcome to Season 3 of the podcast.
We love books and reading, and today we have a two-for! A double whammy of Goggins - who we decided is definitely in the 0.001% of humans.
Where do these books fit in the self-help and motivational world? 4030 pull ups in 17 hours? Moab240? The world of Goggins is crazy.
Master your mind and defy the odds.
Unshackle your mind and win the war within.
TAKE SOME SOULS!

Welcome to Season 3 of the podcast.
We love books and reading, and today we do some fiction, diving into the world of Easy Rawlins (from Walter Mosley) and the genre of detective fiction. Whodunnit? These books are thrillers, with some serious social commentary.
As a life-long detective novel aficionado, Carl takes us on a journey from Devil in a Blue Dress (book 1 of the Easy Rawlins series) and we roll back to The Big Sleep by Raymond Chandler.
Grab a nip of favourite smoky whiskey and join us for some fun.

Welcome to Season 3 of the podcast.
We love books and reading, and today we dive into the amazing book Together: Loneliness, Health and What Happens When We Find Connection by Vivek H. Murthy. The US Surgeon General is a champion of this important discussion, and his book really presents an amazing read of a big problem, while accentuating the simple things we can do. And this hits one of Carl’s areas of interest…

Welcome to The 232 Degrees Podcast and we’re stoked to be back for Season 2.
It’s another interview show and we really loved this conversation with Mark Ranby. We went pretty deep on a few things as Mark shared his journey, how reading has shaped his life, his favourite books and his work as National Practice Manager at the NZ Rugby Players Association. Inspiring stuff!

Welcome to The 232 Degrees Podcast and we’re stoked to be back for Season 2.
The more books you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you will go - Dr Suess.
It’s an author show! We go slightly crazy on Dr Seuss fun facts, and then we dive into our favourite Seuss books. Environmentalism, politics, motivation and the English language. This man did it all in his amazing life, to the tune of over 600 million books sold…

Welcome to The 232 Degrees Podcast and we’re stoked to be back for Season 2.
In this episode, we dive into the world of sport science and the wonderful book from Alex Hutchison. This book presents the complex world of brain and body, and how it impacts us not just in sport, but also our everyday lives. How far can you really go? How does your body deal with thirst, heat and fuel? We totally geeked out and burst through our usual podcast length (sorry!) We hope you enjoy it.

Welcome to The 232 Degrees Podcast and we’re stoked to be back for Season 2.
In this episode, we explore sustainability with Tim Loftus and how the concepts of The Good Ancestor translate into the world of business. We were also able to record in sound studio of our wonderful central library Tūranga; one of the new “cathedrals” that have been developed post-earthquake in Ōtautahi-Christchurch. Tim brings a refreshing perspective to business and marketing, and we manage to convince him to give fiction a chance…

Welcome to The 232 Degrees Podcast and we’re stoked to be back for Season 2.
We love books and reading, and in this episode we unpack The Good Ancestor by Roman Krznaric. We step into the world of big long-term thinking, why this is hard for us humans, and we side step into the game of Real Tennis! There are so many powerful concepts in this book, from Cathedral Thinking to Intergenerational Justice, and from oaks to marshmallows. Brought to you from the year 02023!

Welcome to The 232 Degrees Podcast and we’re stoked to be back for Season 2.
We love books and reading, and in this episode we unpack Think Again by Adam Grant. This book is really important, and is full of things that you can use to catch yourself falling into the most common thinking traps. And another very accessible book opening up the world of academic research to all of us. We discuss thinking, rethinking and how debates should be a dance, not a war. We hope you enjoy it!

Welcome to The 232 Degrees Podcast and we’re stoked to be back for Season 2.
We love books and reading, and in this episode we unpack Uncomfortable Conversations With a Black Man by Emmanuel Acho.
This is a powerful read, and we step into some uncomfortable convo as Emmanuel encourages us to do. He wrote this book in around 8 weeks - amazing.
We discuss privilege, unconscious bias and the power of individual action. This was hard, and important.
