“Go Big or Go Home”- Jason Paris on One.NZ Stadium Sponsorship

This episode with Jason Paris first came out at the end of 2024. I thought I’d release it in case you are new or new-ish to the podcast and missed it the first time round.

Also, because New Zealand’s latest landmark- the seriously impressive One NZ stadium has just opened in Christchurch. And Jason was deeply involved in signing off on this 10-year multimillion dollar sponsorship

This is a rare peak into the man behind the title.

From growing up in Invercargill with a solo mum on the benefit with no relationship with his father, to leading major brands like Spark, TVNZ and now One NZ, we talk about:

+ How Jason rose to CEO without a university degree

+ Why he gives out his personal email to customers

+ Lessons from mistakes –from million-dollar errors to public criticism

+ The importance of family, presence, and being a great dad

+ The story behind the One NZ stadium sponsorship in Christchurch, and much much more!

This episode is a reminder that behind every CEO is a regular human being, shaped by their past, driven by their values, and still figuring things out.

Jason’s story is proof that where you start doesn’t determine where you can go.

If you’re hearing this for the first time, I have no doubt you’ll love it.

If you are relistening to it, I hope you’ll pick up on some stuff you missed the first-time round
