Award-winning newsreader Niva Retimanu published a book in 2016 called Leading From Behind: Winning While Coming Last.

The book documents Niva's remarkable mental and physical transformation, which took place as she became a marathon runner and turned her unhealthy lifestyle completely around.

Niva is now co-hosting a new podcast discussing adversity and resilience alongside long-time friend and NZ Olympian Beatrice Faumuina.
