Nikhil Kamath x NZ PM Christopher Luxon | People by WTF Ep #7
from People by WTF
In our previous episodes, we’ve often spoken about the parallels between Business and Politics; be it risk taking abilities, micro vs macro zooming abilities, & most importantly, leadership. In this episode, we sit down with Christopher Luxon, Prime Minister of New Zealand, to talk about exactly that. We also talk about the challenges of public scrutiny, and how global dynamics translate in today’s world. If the leaders of tomorrow come from unexpected, and more nuanced places, who should we be looking at next? Could entrepreneurs, artists, business minds be the future of politics?#NikhilKamath Co-founder of Zerodha, True Beacon and Gruhas Twitter: https://x.com/nikhilkamathcio LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nikhilkamathcio Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/nikhilkamathcio Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/nikhilkamathcio #ChristopherLuxon Prime Minister of New Zealand Twitter: https://x.com/chrisluxonmp LinkedIn: https://nz.linkedin.com/in/christopher-luxon-bb701b195 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/christopherluxon Timestamps: 00:00 - Introduction 01:19 - PM Christopher on his Experience with India 02:38 - Haka in New Zealand’s Parliament 04:06 - Family & Prioritizing Responsibilities 06:41 - Transition from Business to Politics 09:41 - How Business Skills Affect Politics? 12:39 - Handling with the Highs & Lows 14:10 - PM Christopher on Dealing with Critique & Social Media 16:28 - The Role of Money in Politics 18:57 - Stakeholders vs. Citizens: The Tougher Audience? 20:06 - New Zealand’s Sheep-to-People Ratio 22:01 - Growing Investments & Economy in NZ 23:25 - Parallels in USA & NZ Politics 26:15 - PM Christopher on Meeting Trump 28:45 - Journey of Entrepreneurship to Politics 31:54 - Career Switch from & to Politics 36:12 - PM Christopher on Anticipated Geopolitical Conditions 37:09 - The Ideal Political Future38:09 - In A World Without Fear 39:40 - Generational Shift in Optimism
