  • Self Care and Ag Leadership with Kathleen Allan
    Nov 20 2025
    Today's guest is Kathleen Allen who's coined a number of phrases around female leadership in agriculture. She's lives on a farm not to far from me, near Bowning on the NSW Southern Tablelands. Kathleen is part of a growing movement to NOT work so hard on the farm, to enable her to focus more on family - and to subsidise her farming lifestyle with a full time professional career. From the conversations I'm having everywhere - I'm seeing and hearing that making money from farming is hard, too hard in many cases - and more and more people are remaining on farm but are downsizing and releasing the pressure. She's a really good example of looking after yourself, leading in a way that makes sense to her way of life as a farm girl - she loves getting her nails done and sprays a spritzes herself with perfume every time she steps out the door. Company is hosted by Skye Manson and produced in partnership with Rabobank Australia.

  • Kristen Diprose: Rural podcasting as conversation
    Nov 5 2025
    This is a pretty big deep dive into one of my favourite topics: podcasting in rural Australia. Kirsten Diprose and I have the same vocation. We make podcasts from rural Australia, focused on stories from rural Australia. The difference is that Kirsten was originally a city girl - who now lives on a sheep, cattle, cropping and even dairy farm with her husband and two boys - so she's not used to the nuances of rural life in the same way that I am. It's this curiosity that's sparked a whole new business for Kirsten: the Rural Podcasting Co and also a PHD looking deep into rural journalism, podcasting and conversations in our communities. To add - she's actually living her best life at the moment travelling around Australia in a caravan ...... and so naturally that's where we started our chat.

  • Zoe Lamont cannot stop building brilliant businesses
    Oct 29 2025
    Today's guest has always been a self confessed nerd - who had brains and the will to study but never really knew what she wanted to do. Zoe Lamont's life has been full of twists and turns - there is absolutely no clear trajectory in this story. But her life, her career has been FULL - and full of some huge mould breaking businesses and achievements. Now Zoe lives with her husband and two children on a farm between Wagga Wagga and Junee. Her main venture right now is Farm Door. Which I actually had no idea about......the reason I've always wanted to speak with Zoe about her start up superannuation business, Verve Super, which was a superannuation company with a holistic approach full focused on women and female investments. Company is a podcast produced in partnership with Rabobank Australia.
