Jimi Hunt is a mental health change maker, passionate about raising awareness. And he doesn’t drink – mostly because he didn’t ever need alcohol to loosen him up.

Jimi Hunt is a mental health change maker, passionate about raising awareness.

He floated on a lilo 425 kilometres down the Waikato River and built the world's longest water slide. He is also the founder of the charity Live More Awesome and has published three books. His latest book is Inside Out: The Ultimate Guide to Becoming a Better Human.

If that wasn’t enough to fit into a bio, Jimi was also a New Zealander of the Year finalist in 2014.

And that long water slide? It holds the Guinness World Record.

Oh, and probably the least interesting thing about him is that he doesn’t drink – mostly because he didn’t ever need alcohol to loosen him up.
