500-year strategy, and raising an elite athlete

 

Rachel Taulelei became a Trade Commissioner for New Zealand at just 25. She's built companies, represented New Zealand at international trade forums, and co-owns the Tokomanawa Queens, a championship-winning team in the Tauihi Women's Basketball League.


In this conversation, Rachel opens up about:

  • why she was thrilled when her D1 basketball-playing daughter transferred colleges, even though it meant far fewer minutes on the court

  • why she now disagrees with her younger self's advice about showing up authentically

  • the hire that raised eyebrows when the Tokomanawa Queens launched, and how they won everyone over
