Electra Business Breakfast – B2B networking – Sponsored by Electra – Supported by Business Kāpiti - Nau mai haere mai Electra Business Breakfast is super pleased to welcome Paddy Gower to present his new book, “This Is The F#$%ING News”. Paddy is a captivating news man, straight talking, disarmingly honest, and a journalist focusing on positive news and solutions.
His tell-all riveting memoir was launched in November 2024 with Paddy hitting the road and stages big and small throughout New Zealand. He will be brave, bold, and hilarious with his life stories as a journalist while uplifting your heart with plenty of hope and humility. Paddy has been at the coalface for more than 25 years of so many pivotal moments in the history of Aotearoa. He will not be shy to share the four lessons that helped him through a mental breakdown and his addiction to alcohol.
This Breakfast mixes journalism, stand-up comedy, motivational speaking, Q & A, and plenty of F-Bombs!
See you there! Book early to avoid disappointment! Paddy will be supported by Paper Plus Coastlands to sell and sign his book at the conclusion of Breakfast.
