Christopher Luxon on Lifelong Sobriety & Family History, Sir John Key Friendship

In this very non-political conversation, Christopher Luxon shares insights into his personal life, family values, and career journey.

Some of the ground we cover includes:

+ How his upbringing shaped him. And how his parents cope with the criticism he cops

+ His friendship with Sir John Key

+ Why he has never touched alcohol.

+ The backstory of his relationship with Amanda and how they make it work.

+ His best and worst habits according to his family and much much more!

The goal with these podcasts is always the same- to try and get a better understanding of a person through long form conversations.

Maybe it will change your opinion on the Prime Minister. Or maybe it won’t. And either of those outcomes are fine.

I enjoyed the conversation, and I hope you do too.
