    Brett Pechey - Hard conversations are worth having

    Our Final conversation for the season is one that needs to be had. Real and raw conversations seem to be the theme of the season, and something that we feel society needs more of. As Brett Pechey opens up, it’s obvious the heartache and despair in his voice about his personal experience with mental health and suicide. We acknowledge how hard this is for Brett to share and for some to hear. But the hard conversations are always worth having. They help create awareness, break the cycle and remind us that help and support surrounds us. We thank you for listening to season 6 and hope you enjoyed the conversations as much as we did.  We will be taking a break as we knuckle down in other parts of our careers but will be back before you know it. If you have just discovered us and are wanting more, all of our previous  episodes are available on all the usual platforms and our website www.fromthesaddle.com.au. If you’re loving the content and want to hear more, make sure you leave a review.

    Wayne York - Australia's sought after auctioneer

    As an enthusiastic 8 year old boy selling phantom bulls down in the shed, to now being known as a leading Auctioneer in Australia’s stud market, Wayne York holds the title of being the youngest to win the Australian National Young Auctioneering Competition at the age of 20. Wayne’s eye for cattle and passion for the success of a sale has certainly earned the respect of vendors and buyers. Throughout this interview Wayne and Caitlyn break down what it takes to do what he does, the pressure, the skill and the ability. The power of Wayne’s mind is intriguing to be able to do so many things at once. For every lot he’s selling, he’s reading the crowd, he’s watching the bull, articulating the facts and figures on him, and he’s recognising what each interested bidder may be looking to gain out of this purchase. Within moments, even seconds, he’s got the power to alter the sale.
