Episode notes

What if reclaiming your identity could change the way you see leadership, community, and the world?

Tuari Dawson shares the deeply personal story of reconnecting with his Māori heritage, and why his ta moko represents responsibility, identity, and legacy rather than status. This conversation explores:

  • Healing from shame
  • The strength of cultural identity
  • Leadership as service
  • The meaning of community
  • Why being different doesn’t mean being separate
  • How martial arts preserve history, discipline, and cultural knowledge
