Gordi: From a farm in Canowindra to the world Stage

I've been wanting to interview Gordi for years because she's such a good example of the women I want to highlight. She grew up on a sheep and hay farm near Canowindra in central west NSW and studied Medicine at University. But as a self proclaimed microphone hog who spend many hours singing in church as a child - she's always loved singing and has been writing songs since the age of 13. Now she's doing her work on the world stage.She's about to release her third Album 'Like Plasticine' and has song alongside some of the biggest names in the industry Missy Higgins, Bon Iver, The Tallest Man on Earth and David Grey (later this year). Gordi also identifies as Queer - which has been the source of much pain, reflection and resignation. But as you will hear, it's her songwriting that's allow her to come to terms with this and life in general - and it's provided her with experiences beyond her wildest dreams of a child growing up on a humble farm. You can pre-order her new album Like Plasticine now at gordimusic.com - and listen to all her previous works on Spotify. Company is a Manson Podcasting production in partnership with Rabobank Australia. Stay in the loop with our world and all the things I am loving right now by signing up to my weekly newsletter Company on Sundays at companyonsundays.substack.com

Lindner Socks are keeping your feet warm this winter.

In the main street of the southern NSW town of Crookwell you'll find a small building stocked with rows and rows of colourful socks, some are thick and fluffy, others are thin and refined. Out the back green machines plug away, to make the heritage socks, sewing, shaping and creating some of the most beautiful feet warmers in the country. The Linder Family of Lindner Quality Socks has been making socks for 10 generations and today you'll hear their incredible story which includes moving a young family from Germany to Goulburn, Australia without any English speaking skills, starting up a factory in Crookwell, sourcing wool from local farmers, venturing into tourism and spending a lifetime trying to create the perfect sock. Thank you to Andrew, Linda and Gisela Lindner for sharing their time and their story with me today. Thank you to Lindner Socks who are the Series Sponsor for Company. You can follow them @lindnersocks on Instagram.

Sophie Weeding is making her mark in the world of beautiful accomodation

Today’s guest Sophie Weeding is rural girl born and bred making her make as a mark as super talent bed and breakfast creator in Tasmania. Born of late nights scrolling on Pinterest while breastfeeding her babies – Soph realised she could channel her skills in design and branding in a venture recreating old homes near her farm in Tasmania. To-date she has three super gorgeous accommodation options under her belt, The Bruny Boathouse, Raffah House and a new addition - a beach shack on the east coast of Tasmania Sophie is a full time mum, secretary of the local Agricultural Show and her love project is the renovation and management of these three Bed and Breakfasts. Sophie lives in Oatlands in Tasmania with her husband Nick and her two children Willie and Archie Soph actually great up in the lush landscape of Western Victoria, so I wondered how on earth she ended up in Tassie in the first place.

Olivia Barton: Equestrian, Eventing (Wellington, NSW)

This Saturday, Olivia Barton and her horse Holly will board a plane headed for a pre-Olympics training camp in Europe. She’s an eventer – who’s been riding since before she could walk – on her family sheep and cattle farm near Wellington in central west NSW. But this is an Olympic story with a bit more complexity because Olivia’s name isn’t on the Australian Equestrian Olympic team list, nor is she a reserve. But she and her horse will still travel with the team – as an extra ‘just in-case’. And this is the difficult and devastating underside of the Olympics that we don’t often hear about. For all the excitement, nerves and fears of competing in the Olympics, there’s an equal amount of disappointment, frustration and bravery for those who lie in the ‘almost got there’ camp. Her mum tells me Olivia is determined to just ‘keep doing what she’s doing’ in inverted comma’s and will continue to train as if she’s going to the Olympics. When I spoke with Olivia the final Olympic team announcement was still pending. Which I’m glad about because you’ll get an insight into the hopefulness of a young athlete on the brink of selection. This is a Manson Podcasting production in partnership with Rabobank Australia. Production assistance by Alice Mofitt. Follow along @mansonpodcasting on Instagram for more olympics information specific to these stories.

Elise Croker will inspire you to start your own rural BnB

This is a story about taking a rundown building in the main street of a country town – and being bold with it to create a beautiful space that people will travel hours to experience. I can think of many country towns that have spaces like this – all they need is someone creative to take hold – and I can also think of many women living in rural towns with the style, nous and grit to do this. Elise Croker wanted to create an accommodation option in Crookwell, NSW that made you feel like you were in London, with old books, artwork and pieces made with love. But she also wanted the space to have a boho feel and be fun and exciting at the same time. The result is her beautiful BnB, Mister Munro in the main street of Crookwell. It's clever and creative and cosy and I love it. If you’re thinking about taking the plunge with an old house or building in your town or on your farm then I hope this story can be an inspiration to you. Thank you to Lindner Quality Socks the sponsor for this Series of Company. Incidentally, Lindner is just across the road from Mister Munro in Crookwell. Get yourselves some cosy socks, walk across the road, pour a red wine and read a book or watch a movie while settling into Elise's Mister Munro.

Pip Smith's wool and the farm to fabric cycle

Pip Smith and her husband Norm run a holistic fine merino operation near Wellington in NSW and they absolutely love the fibre they produce, they believe in their wool and are proud of how they manage their farm to get the best for their animals. These guys are holistic farmers, who don’t mules their sheep, the use SRS techniques and don’t mules their sheep and after many conversations, trips overseas, research and testing, Pip Smith has been able to not only sell their wool directly to a processor in China, but they also receive a portion of that processed wool back to their farm, which Pip then has turned into scarves, baby wraps, beanies and so on. The path to get to this point was long, and with many hurdles, but now that Pip has broken the back of the system, she’s happy to share her contacts, her learnings and to generally help anyone else who’s interested.

Their latest venture a new podcast. It’s called Ducks on the Pond and it will feature discussions with women all Australian around hand picked themes that important to women living in the country. You all know how I love a new podcast so it was with great excitement that I wanted to learn more about Jackie and Kirsten, what this is all about and how they came to be working together.

Kelly Dowling is a woman of all trades when it comes to wool

There isn't much in sheep and wool production that this woman can't do! Kelly Dowling runs a 30,000 head superfine merino wool operation in partnership with her Mum, Dad and Brother at Dalton near Gunning in the NSW southern tablelands. Not only is Kelly a classic no-fuss high achiever - she's is in charge of all the wool classing, all stages of sheep husbandry, genetics, general maintenance, book keeping, cooking, being a mother and a bit of advocacy when she can - but we also love that she's never been fussed about feminism and perhaps that's why she's achieved so much as a #womanbehindwool. Because Kelly has had a hand in so many facets of wool production – there is no better person – to answer your questions. Thank you to those of your who reached out on Instagram, Kelly will answer your questions in the second part of this podcast.
