Episode 100 of the Only Scott podcast! I’m looking back at some of the biggest lessons I’ve picked up from 3 years of podcasting. I have spoken to all kinds of dream chasers including musicians, athletes, creators and business owners, all trying to build something while the ground keeps shifting under us.

I start with the modern music industry, where it’s never been easier to record at home, upload music digital distribution platforms like Spotify and Apple Music, sell merch online, and run your own promos, but it’s also never been more overwhelming. 

From there I talk about social media, AI’s impact on creativity, work, and the weird feeling that the internet is filling up with bots. We finish with mindset and money: the sacrifices behind the highlight reel, the cost of living and debt-based economy pressures, skill building, and building a personal brand.

I sat down with Angelo and Gareth from the legendary New Zealand punk rock band The Bleeders as they celebrate 20 years of As Sweet As Sin. We dig into the early scene that built them, the Canada move that broke them for a while, and why live shows still beat algorithms every day of the week. 

We talked How the band forms through friendship and straight-up poaching from other local bands, the early “we’ve got something here” moments, radio and streaming, social media fatigue and the snowball to the 2009 breakup.

What they would change with hindsight, Translating “All That Glitters” into Te Reo Māori., weird gigs, chaos shows, and meeting heroes like Lemmy and the Sex Pistols. https://www.tiktok.com/@onlyscottspodcast

Cam talks about the reality and the sacrifices that come with chasing the UFC dream. We also talk about how he almost fought in ONE Championship, the difference between Aussies and Kiwis, what it really takes to be an MMA fighter, and much more!

Paddy Baynes is the voice behind ‎⁨Squaredupmma and he joins me to yarn about how he ends up producing radio, talking UFC on air, and heading to UFC 284 in Perth where Islam Makhachev and Alex Volkanovski headlined a massive week of fight media.

We talk about what most fans never see: the behind-the-scenes production that turns fighting into a global event, the people who shoot the walkout packages, media access, and why deeper “human” questions don’t fit the usual press formats. Patty also talks about doing the City Kickboxing Alta programme and having an actual MMA fight, to gain a further understanding of what fighters live through: the brutal routine, the injuries, the weight of doubt, and the mindset it takes to keep training when quitting would feel easier.

We also get into the sport’s messier edges, from fighter pay and career risk to UFC politics, streaming frustrations, and how creators can lose their love for the game when they start chasing numbers.

You can be a “nobody” on paper and still create real opportunities, as long as you show up, publish, and learn.

I dig into the shift to interest media, where algorithms decide what people see based on attention not loyalty. Why your followers might never see your posts, and why a single clip can suddenly hit big numbers without paid ads. I break down how I think about Instagram for highlights and entertainment, TikTok as unpredictable and trend-driven, YouTube as a bridge from short-form to long-form, and Facebook as still useful for groups and events.

If you want practical tools, I share what’s helped me build faster: LinkedIn for networking and business opportunities, AI tools like Claude, ChatGPT and Gemini for writing and problem-solving, NotebookLM and Perplexity for research and learning, Shopify for getting a simple website up, and Google Analytics plus Google Ads for understanding and converting demand. I also share a realistic take on work volatility and why starting your project now can be a form of career insurance.

This episode was an awesome yarn with the boys Richie (vocals) and James (guitar) from the band New Way Home. We kick things off talking about the band's origins in the Auckland scene back in 2002, the early days of playing mixed-genre gig nights, and what it was like being one of the only bands in New Zealand doing the progressive metal thing. We get into their hiatus around 2014, the projects that followed which included City of Souls, and what brought them back together with a fresh lineup.

We cover how band sound cohesion actually works, the evolution of the NZ alternative and metal scene before and after COVID, and the real talk around the value of music in the streaming era. We also get into AI in music, what it means for original artists, and how it might actually be a creative tool rather than a threat. Richie and James share their advice for any heavy band trying to make it in 2026, and we wrap up with the details on their brand new single dropping April 3rd and their upcoming support shows with Helmet.

I had a great yarn with Zion Perry, an up and coming exciting young fighter from Wellington. Zion has had many achievements so far and one of them was becoming the lightweight King In The Ring Champion late last year. 

We talked about his fighting style and being a technical fighter and his fight IQ. We get into the details of training Muay Thai, flow sparring and how swimming helps with his conditioning. Zion also does conservation work with protecting New Zealand's indigenous bush.

Great podcast, I even got AI to create me a "would-you-rather" questionnaire, which gets pretty funny pretty fast.

Great yarn with producers Mista Ed (Ed Williams) and Inside Trading (John Faulding). We got really nerdy and dove into hip/hop sampling, music production, DJing, and beat-making.

I sat down with Saman Yavari, an Auckland-based entrepreneur, content creator, and founder of First Generation Studios, to talk about side hustles, business, AI, and the reality of building wealth in New Zealand. From working odd cleaning jobs and starting a commercial cleaning business to helping young people find practical ways to earn extra income.

We also dive into NZ’s cost-of-living crisis, why minimum wage isn’t enough to live on, young Kiwis moving to Australia, crypto, and how AI is changing business (including the time Saman was copied by AI and turned into a scam).

Chatting some shit about where the podcast is and where it's headed. 2.5 years in the game, and I needed to review wtf is going on. 

I released 25 episodes this year, and it was easily the most diverse range of guests I’ve had so far, including musicians, athletes, health and wellness professionals, specialists, content creators, and people in business. Every conversation over this year really helped me understand why I started this podcast: to sit down with people who are genuinely chasing their dreams and going after what they want in life.

The podcast itself has also grown significantly this year. I’ve put a lot of work into improving the quality from the preparation to production and consistency and it’s been really rewarding to see that effort reflected in the growth and support from listeners.

Outside of the podcast, I had some very cool side quests this year. I got to play guitar at Coridian's final show, which was incredibly special after knowing those guys for nearly 10 years. I got to see myself have a short scene on the screen in PK's film Ryder & Scarlett Austin. I also got to be part of The Boondocks' music video, such a fun day but a tiring day.

On top of that, I got to head along to some great local music shows, combat sports events and business events, and stay connected with people who are building and creating.

Massive thank you to every guest who came on the podcast, and to everyone who listened, shared, or supported in any way.

I sat down with Aidan (vocals/guitar) and Oli (bass) for a proper yarn about where the band is at today and the new direction they’re carving out.

The conversation took all sorts of twists and turns. We talked about their recent single 'Smile' and their release show, getting signed to aaa records, sending Capricore to space for a show and even some kinky fan fiction. Enjoy!
