Pursuing passion beyond the farm gate with James Cleaver

James Cleaver loves the country. He’s the first to admit that his hometown of Nyngan – famous for the Big Bogan, a statue that locals have eventually come to laugh at – is his favourite place in the world. Yet, he refuses to romanticise it. James was encouraged by his parents to get off farm and to get a trade or qualification that could support him outside the farm gate. In this episode, James talks about what it's been like to find his dream job, twice, first as a lawyer and then later as a banker. He talks through what it's like to balance expectations, on pursuing purpose and finding a career that really lights you up. He has since found this with his work with regional youths as he helps provide opportunities for those not just on farm.
