Description

Within our Summer Issue #53, covered by actress/model-turned-entrepreneur Maddison Brown, the focus falls on ordinary people achieving extraordinary things — highlighting just how much life there is to be lived just past the edge your comfort zone.

Beyond an illuminating interview with Maddison, which offers insight into the star’s decision to take a considered side-step from Hollywood’s spotlight in favour of the freedom and unbridled sense of purpose her sunscreen and skincare brand affords her, the issue features an exclusive conversation with world-renowned shark scientist, environmentalist, and New Zealand’s very own ‘Shark Man’, Riley Elliott, alongside an inspiring interview with young entrepreneur Izzy Whitley, who has built a 40-million dollar company from the ground up, overcoming a tremendous amount of adversity to do so. The individuals on these pages show just how much there is to be gained from pursuing your passion, embracing change, and being unafraid to create a life — and career — on your own terms.

In this issue, we also offer an extensive edit of everything worth enjoying across the summer, and all of the inspiration you need for the season ahead. From an overview of the exceptional happenings in the city across the coming months — from hospitality to entertainment and more, to all of the best beach reads and culture worth engaging in. Consider this your summer bible.
