Bernice Mene is publicity-shy so this podcast appearance is a rare one (and a huge honor) From captaining the Silver Ferns in her early twenties to raising three kids with her husband, former Black Caps captain Dion Nash, Bernice has spent a lifetime leading with purpose, empathy, and calm strength. In this episode, we cover everything from her childhood in a powerhouse sporting family to the highs and lows of international netball, including what it was like debuting for New Zealand as a teenager, the crushing heartbreak of losing the 1999 World Champs final in Christchurch, and how injuries taught her resilience and perspective. . It’s also a love story: how she met Dion, the risks they took to build the incredible men’s skincare brand Triumph & Disaster , and the teamwork that’s kept their marriage rock solid for more than two decades. Bernice is awesome. She is warm, wise, grounded, and humble. She has achieved so much, professionally and personally and after spending time with her it’s not hard to understand why. Everything she does, she does to the absolute best of her ability. *** Massive thanks to my long-term podcast sponsors, Generate.
