Reece and Leah sat down to wrap up the highlights from SPHERE 2026 with Karissa Breen from KBI Media. In this episode, Reece and Leah move the conversation beyond alarmism and into what practical readiness actually looks like. They explore accountability, measurable resilience, and why demonstrating real progress matters more than repeating familiar fears. Grounded in a regional perspective, the discussion considers what New Zealand can learn from Australia’s comparatively mature approach, while recognising the need for solutions that are distinctly shaped by New Zealand’s own context.
