Gabby Neal: From Condobolin to New York and back

How can I help agriculture? How can I use my skills and contacts? Oh my god. I think this is the eternal question of females who've grown up on the land. I can definitely relate. Um yes, skills from the runway in New York can help any agricultural business. And that's how Gabby Neal who founded Intact Co - a capsule of staples made from100% wool - see's it too. She grew up on a wool farm near Condobolin, NSW and now runs her brand from Newcastle in between working at home on the farm. Her aesthetic is modern, edgy and simple - there are no sheep or woodsheds in sight. All I can say, is more of this please. This podcast is produced in partnership with Rabobank Australia.

Introducing: The Connection Table

Julia Spicer OAM grew up in a small rural community and now lives with her husband Tony on at Goondiwindi, QLD. Julia, the child of two teachers, has clearly been influenced by her parents vocation. She’s a teacher, a sharer, someone who likes to see others rise and shine - and in some ways this is her life’s work - getting regional Australia and it’s people on the map - and helping others to develop projects and businesses that give opportunity to people living outside of our cities. Fresh out of an 18 month stint as the first ever regionally based Chief Entrepreneur of QLD, Julia is about to launch something new...... The Connection Table is a really unique and dynamic networking platform developed by Julia in partnership with former Winner of the Agrifutures Rural Woman of the Year award and lady of many projects, Jo Palmer. At it’s core, The Connection Table is about shepherding talented people from rural and regional Australia into the best boards, advisories and leadership roles in this country. Basically these guys want rural voices to be heard and valued at every level of decision making and they see The Connection Table as the mechanism to make this happen. It’s designed to become THE place for executives, government, corporates and industry to look to when searching for their next CEO, board of directors, leadership team etc etc. FULL DISCLOSURE: I’ve been asked to be an ambassador for The Connection Table - so you will not only see me on board but also be hearing more about it from me in the future. The Connection Table Julia's book: Business in the Bush. This podcast is produced in partnership with Rabobank Australia.

On how Coles buys its Australian meat

This episode is certainly one to share with the farmer in your life. (Not to say that it’s not uber interesting to all of our regular listeners) Maria Crawford is a country girl, who’s progressed through the ag industry - with a keen and detailed interest in how supply chains operate. This interest and obvious skill has landed her in her current position as the innovation and sustainability manager for Coles livestock. To me, a conversation with a female in a position like this a golden opportunity for me to be able to ask the questions so you, as farming families, or as a person living in a community supported by agriculture, can get an idea of the bigger picture And Maria delivers. This podcast is a wonderful insight into what kind of meat Coles buys from our farmers and there’s a lot of talk specifically about carbon emissions and how Coles is trying out some new things to try and reach the industry goal of being carbon neutral by 2030.

Claire Taylor: A refreshing look at selling the story of Agriculture

Today we meet international speaker and agricultural commentator and all round cool chick, Claire Taylor – who originally hails from a beef farm near Ayr in the south west of Scotland and will soon call Orange in central west NSW home. Claire started her working life as a producer for the BBC before becoming a political commentator for Scotland's national farming paper. More recently she’s been travelling the world as a Nuffield Scholar researching the ag narratives in countries all over the world in her quest to build a way for more collaborative and positive messaging from the ag sector into the general population. Generally speaking she’s a women drive to teach farmers how to tell the very best of their stories in the hope of garnering that eternally sought after ‘understanding and recognition from the wider population – not just those in the echo chamber of agriculture.

Jack O'Brien: Rowing (Walgett, NSW)

One man to look out for in the Opening Ceremony – and in the Australian Men’s Rowing 8 Boat is 26 year old Jack O’Brien from Walgett in north west NSW Since the middle of May he’s been training, lapping, perfecting his style, mind, muscles and mentality, in various training camps and competitions across Europe – as the Australian Rowing Team works and works and works to give itself the best chance at a medal in Paris. Time away from home is nothing new for Jack – who went away to boarding school at the end of year 5, aged 11. Even so, the farm is his ‘happy place’ – where he has the freedom to get away from the world of Rowing - and ponder life, with the comforts of his family being close by. There’s a definite family vibe to Jack – and he loves the Walgett community too. Who’ve been known to go crazy on the billboard creation side of things in the past! This is a Manson Podcasting Production done in partnership with Rabobank Australia. Production assistance from Alice Moffitt Host is Skye Manson For race updates and more information about rural and regional athletes competing at the Paris Games follow along @mansonpodcasting on Instagram.

Laura Gourley: Womens Quad Skull (Rowing)

Guess What; This week Laura Gourley found out she's going to the Olympics! Of the 37 athletes on Australia's Rowing team, at least 6 of them are from rural Australia. This ratio of country to city people is high and so it's fitting that we kick off this podcast - which is all about elevating the stories of rural and regional Australian athletes heading to Paris - with a sport that's seen a high representation from farm kids over the years. And 24 year old Laura who'll be rowing in the Women's Quad Skull is no different. She grew up on a cropping farm at Edgeroi, 20 mins outside of Narrabri. In fact she tributes some of her success: to the kindness of her fellow farming friends. One neighbour lent her a skull - as in a single rowing boat - to train in During Covid. And another neighbour lent her their 2km long irrigation channel - to train on.

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.

Shannan Davey: Boxing (Narrabri, NSW)

Today Shannan Davey a light-middle weight boxer will arrive in the Olympic village in Paris for his first Olympics. It’s a far cry from the life he was leading in the regional town of Narrabri at the age of 10. He was regularly fighting in the playground, was hyperactive in the classroom and loved to eat pizza on the couch. Two years later – his brother told him to put the pizza down and come with him, to the boxing gym. Six weeks later he had his first fight in nearby town, Cobar. This story, the journey. IT HAS NOT BEEN EASY. There have been many falling out’s, trouble getting recognition because he was from the country, travel, money, eating, so many things. But Shannan Davey – the boy with his roots firmly bound in Narrabri – has triumphed – and he’s not done yet – he’s so excited for Australia’s boxing team at Paris. He reckons it’s going to change the face of boxing in Australia – and that’s why he continues to work so hard. This is a Manson Podcasting production in partnership with Rabobank Australia. Production assistance by Alice Moffitt. Follow Shannan and other rural and regional athelete's journeys @mansonpodcasting on Instagram.
