A fellow lover of rural stories and one of my greatest friends, Ali Smith

After more than 100 episodes of Company this is the FINAL EPISODE. I will *miss* the privilege of stepping into the lives of ordinary and extraordinary rural women in such an intimate way. But chapters end and that's what's happening here. It seems fitting to have Ali Smith - one of my greatest friends - as my final guest. She really does embody all I love about storytelling in rural Australia. She's bubbly and unbelievable generous in every role she's ever turned her hand to, she's endlessly thoughtful and respectful and despite all this she would never want any fanfare or grand accolades. Ali grew up in the city both Canberra and Sydney but she LOVES rural people and their lives , and thats perfect because she now lives on a farm with her partner Gus at Burren Junction in northern New South Wales. Gosh that community is lucky to have her as a journalist for the local paper. They're lucky because - many would never know the depths of her experience as a journo. She's worked for Laurie Oakes - one of the greatest political journalists Australia has known. During her 8 years with 60 minutes - another of Australia's greatest current affairs shows -she spend hours and hours beside Turia Pitt as she recovered from her horrific burns - a person she now remains very special friends with. She's also an author - last year she co-authored Outback Astronomer with Liz Hayes from 60 minutes. Smith to me is the antithesis of integrity in every avenue of life. I'm really lucky to be able to call her one of my closest friends. I'm so happy to be celebrating all her achievements here and I hope you enjoy it too. Company is a podcast produced in partnership with Rabobank Australia. Listen to more than 100 other stories just like this one in our backlog.

Don't call it a bush business, call it a brilliant business with Emma Williams from Acre Agency

Sometimes I think we are all guilty of posting about our businesses to social media and hoping for the best..... Today guest Emma Williams, saw an opportunity in that... After years of working in communications. marketing and branding - she had a hunch that she could help ag businesses market themselves in a way that brought about proper growth. She started Acre Agency just under two years ago and has worked with more than 50 clients and recently grown her team to five. Emma describes herself as a generalist - she and her business know the basics of many things - and so when it comes to telling the story of a business - she thinks she's got her finger on the pulse as to what will work and why. There is no cookie cutting here. And she know's her stuff; here she is. Company is a Manson Podcasting production in partnership with Rabobank Australia.

Bec Bignell: How to make a film about farmers

Bec Bignell is a West Australian film maker on the road to big things, her biggest project to-date, her film HOMESPUN was picked up by streaming giant STAN last year after being acquired by ABC Commercial. Bec’s main mission in her film making is to challenge stereotypes everywhere. She’s pushing boundaries in her narratives, her characters and in the way she produces film. In many ways this film is based on a lifetime of observation and for that Rural Australia is lucky to have her - because her perspective as someone who grew up in WA’s wheatbelt runs deep, drawing on her experiences and observations of childhood, community, stereotypes, expectations, hard times, good times - its endless. HOMESPUN was was financed in large part by Bec personally. It was shot in just two-weeks with locals - who had no acting experience - featured as many of the main characters. I’ve watched it a few times now and there are so many relatable moments, that hit deep in parts and just make you laugh in others. It’s refreshing to see how humorous and engaging these kind of characters can be on screen - because really, we’ve never seen rural Australia depicted in this way before. You have to make time to see this film. Here's the trailer - https://youtu.be/IGBMaGS3G_s And here's the film on Stan - https://www.stan.com.au/watch/homespun-2021 Thank you to Rabobank for sponsoring this season of Company.

Claire Mactaggart: How to do quiet leadership

Claire Mactaggart amongst other things; has been a contributing writer for - one of Australia's most loved publications - Country Style magazine for 19 years. She's been a lynchpin in opening the eyes of everyday Australians to the the way of life, homes, gardens and businesses of rural and regional people and families - through countless beautiful stories. In this sense I think she's a trail blazer. She also a great example of quiet leadership. Claire is the most lovely person to meet. she's gently spoken, warm and polite - and these trails have not held her back - she's been able to achieve most of the things she has desired all while living 170-odd kms from the supermarket. She is mother to four girls, a beef producer with her husband Andrew, a board director for Beef Australia, the organisation behind, Beef Week, she's transported a disused church to her farm for renovation and her latest project was the six week transformation of a block of units and an old Queenslander at Cooee Bay near Yeppoon, QLD. This is a Manson Podcasting production brought to you with thanks to Rabobank Australia.

Holly Goodman: Becoming a fashion designer in rural Australia

Have you noticed a boom in rural fashion designers? Last September, Holly Goodman and I sat down to record this interview. Holly lives in Tamworth with her husband and three young children and is a fashion designer with her own label, Peter Bill, which has morphed from young boys clothing into a really impressive womens range. In Spring last year, Holly put on The Rural Runway, a fashion runway and show of some of her favourite rural designers. I really loved this - as I suppose I just hope that someone picks up this idea and runs with it. I’d love nothing more than to attend a full blown fashion show made up of designers from all our local towns and communities. So the interview may be dated but I'm still celebrating the premise of it; creating a platform in which to celebrate and showcase the work of fashion designers in rural Australia.

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.

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.
