Wonderful to launch this new podcast with Australian Trade and Investment Commission (Austrade). It's called "The Next Market, with Austrade" and features Australian business leaders who have made the strategic decision to export.
Each business leader has a fascinating story to tell:

➡️ The country GP, who is now manufacturing unmanned vessels for the Australian Navy.
➡️ The animal lover who is supporting animal health through new gut microbiome science in several countries.
➡️ The family business that started by making car exhausts, but is now manufacturing equipment for mining jobs across the world.

It's a reminder that possibilities are infinite in business. Of course, there are big challenges along the way too.

And so that's what this podcast is all about... hearing the stories of how they began exporting, why they made the decisions they have and how they overcame the challenges along the way.

Each guest shares the journey with such honesty and great advice. So if you're thinking about your next market, this one is for you!

The first 3 episodes are out now - with more to come!

Will I see you there? I’m excited to be the MC at Field Day 2026 at Chatsworth House.

Take a look at the program… Day one will explore why natural capital matters, unpack carbon and financial natural capital, examine production in practice, and provide insights into supply chains and emerging natural capital markets. There will also be networking drinks, a delicious dinner, an ideal setting to connect with fellow farmers and industry leaders and hear from keynote speaker, Tim Jarvis AM.

Day two the focus shifts to agtech, foliar applications and the practicalities of how farmers can use these approaches in their own businesses, with insights from producers already putting them into practice. There will also be the change to dive deeper into soil health.

Can’t wait to see you there! Tickets available now.

Do you know who'd I'd like to hear on a podcast? Socrates...

Socrates taught and learned through conversation. He wandered the streets of Athens asking questions, listening deeply and encouraging people to think more critically about the world around them.

And really, isn’t that what a great podcast does?

Like Socrates’ conversations, great podcasts create space for curiosity, reflection and shared understanding. They invite audiences into thoughtful discussions that unfold over time — rather than chasing quick headlines or polished soundbites.

So, what would Socrates make of podcasting?

I reckon he would love being behind the microphone.

I’ve been thinking about this while on the home straight of my PhD in journalism, looking at the power of podcasting for rural and regional Australia.

I’ve written more about it on the Rural Podcasting Co. blog
