Spark That Chat

21/06/2026

Last night at Giants Boxing invitational Jack spoke about the mahi he’s done & the tools he’s learnt alongside kiwi legends Israel Adesanya David Adesanya Kai "Dontblink" Kara France & Eugene Bareman from City Kickboxing in the mental health/mental performance space.

Here’s some really insightful wisdom shared by these lads leading by doing, showing courage daily and continuing to turn up.

What an awesome community event to get families, gyms, teams and athletes together from across Aotearoa 🥊

Big love to the legend Craig McDougal the man behind it all. As just speaks about, this man is a perfect example of what it means to keep turning up and being the best you can. Rubbing off on everyone he connects with including Jacks younger years in the gym.

HB Youth Trust and Spark That Chat are proud to join forces to help support our people through movement, we’re creating waves of positive change right here in our community & we’re stoked to do it alongside legends like these guys.

SPARK THAT CHAT is a relatable charity on a mission to promote good mental health through lifestyle choices. We save lives by creating spaces that encourage open communication, inspire those around them, and build real relationships through the strength of vulnerability. This is a message that’s working.

Last night was epic at the 2026 Giants Invitational reminding us all of the power of connection in our own backyard.

Remember check in on your mates, and support each other, always. 👊🏼

Spark that chat. The ripples continue to grow.

Final day on the road for the Cut The Bull crew. ✈️

What a few weeks it’s been.

A massive thank you to Farmstrong, our main partner throughout the tour. Their message of “Live Well, Farm Well” has been at the heart of so many of the conversations we’ve had along the way.

The impact of this campaign isn’t measured in kilometres travelled or events attended—it’s measured in the stories shared, the connections made, and the reminders that none of us have to carry things alone.

As we head home for the final time, it’s time to swap the road for the editing desk and start bringing these conversations to life. We can’t wait to share the interviews, laughs, wisdom, and genuine moments we’ve captured throughout the journey.

We have been pumped to story tell our way through the country sparking chats with all walks of life along the way. Making connections, learning from one another & inspiring you all out there to cut the bull and spark that chat.

This year the STC team have hit the road getting amongst 3 HUUGE rural NZ events in both the north and South Island. 1 Hallmark Angus 2 Fieldays 3 Te Mania Angus NZ what a trip.

It’s our absolute pleasure to be working alongside the legends at farmstrong to pour gas on this very epic flame helping so many people across Aotearoa. NZFarming & MSFT PRODUCTIONS are our proud multi-media supporters to help push this campaign as far and wide as possible, to help as many people as we can.

Our goal is to save lives and promote mental health well-being by creating opportunities and spaces that support open, vulnerable conversations, fostering connections and resilience among individuals in the community.

This limited edition merch is now available to pre-order online comment either ‘merch’ or CTB or 🐮 to receive a link to order yours now.

The campaign will be running until June

Te Mania Bull Sale 2026

A special one for the Spark That Chat crew.

There’s something different about Te Mania. The history, tradition, and atmosphere make it a place you feel the moment you arrive.

For Jack, it carries even more meaning. His grandad Paddy has had a 39-year relationship with this farm, and you can see the pride and respect that comes with nearly four decades of connection.

From the crowds filling the yards to the quality of the animals on display, everything about Te Mania reflects years of dedication, hard work, and good people.

It’s more than just a bull sale. It’s a gathering of generations, stories, and relationships built over time.

We are pumped to story tell our way through the country sparking chats with all walks of life along the way. Making connections, learning from one another & inspiring you all out there to cut the bull and spark that chat.
