Nigel Latta, New Zealand’s best-known psychologist, shared a video to Facebook on the evening of September 5, 2024, announcing he has been living with cancer.After sharing his shocking news, he received an outpouring of love and media articles because we all feel like we know Nigel Latta- even Lorde's mum left a comment giving Nigel credit for how she raised her kids. For the past 15 years, Nigel has been responsible for some wildly successful TV projects including the Beyond the Darkland’s series (which I loved) and the politically incorrect series with episodes devoted to parents, teenagers and grown-ups. He is also the author of seven best-selling books.I had never met Nigel before this podcast but, like a lot of Kiwis, I felt like I knew him. Nigel is everybody’s mate- a national treasure.This is small part of the Nigel Latta story with a focus on lessons he has learned since the cancer diagnosis and being forced to face his own mortality.The views, thoughts, and opinions expressed in this podcast belong solely to the host and guests and may not reflect the views of the show sponsors Thanks to my show sponsors- Generate, the award-winning KiwiSaver specialists.Chances are you have not been making the most of your KiwiSaver- Don’t be embarrassed, most of us are guilty of this.But checking if you’re in the right fund and making the most of your account can really boost your retirement lifestyle. And that’s where Generate can help.Their KiwiSaver advisers can meet with you in person or remotely to go over your options, and make sure your investment is working for you. It’ll take 30 minutes at most, and it could be the best investment you ever make for your future self.
