Left School At 13, Couldn't Read, Became A Heavyweight: Shane Cameron
Shane Cameron is a return guest to the podcast.
He was one of the first people to say yes to this podcast, before I’d even released an episode back at the start of 2022.
A lot has changed in both our lives since then so I thought a catch up was on the cards.
We talk about living in a tent as a little boy, struggling with reading and writing and leaving school at 13. Then going from life on the farm to sharing a boxing ring with Mike Tyson. His stories about his time spent training with Tyson are something else.
We also get into the David Tua fight: the buildup, the devastating loss, picking himself up afterwards, and how the two of them ended up drinking tequila in Shane’s garage years later.
Plus, life after boxing, depression, his fear of dementia, and what gives him purpose these days.
Shane’s a humble guy who’s very open about both the things he’s proud of and the things he wishes he’d done differently. I really enjoyed this catch-up, and I hope you do too.

Massive thanks to my long-term podcast sponsor, Generate.
We’ve all got that one mate who’s convinced they’ve worked out how to beat the market, usually with a lot of confidence and no actual expertise. That’s the mate that is very noisy when the market is going well but bizarrely quiet when there is a downturn.
So, here's your reminder not to get caught up in the noise and trust the real investment experts at Generate.
I sat down with a Generate KiwiSaver adviser when they came on as sponsor in 2023, and it was one of those conversations that made me kick myself for not doing it years earlier.
A Generate adviser can help you figure out what fund type is best suited to your KiwiSaver goals.
