Welcome to Episode 21 – Today's guest is someone who is having an incredible and positive impact across agriculture and rural Australia. She's someone who is so honest and authentic and what you see is what you get. To me, Airlie Landale is one of the most humble and highly intelligent people I have come across and it's an absolute pleasure to speak with her today.

In 2014, she created a database as she began to follow her dream of working hand in hand with her father to learn the ropes of the family business. Little did she know, what she was cultivating would go on to fill one of the biggest resource deficits and play a crucial role in the modernisation of farming businesses across the country – providing them with a single platform for information and connect them in a central place.

Today we cover a bit of that story to date, and I feel we only just scraped the surface!

- We talk about living the side hustle game & building a business on the side of your day job.

- The 'paralysation with perfection' that our society creates with such a fear of failure

- We talk about her recent appointment to the board of Rural Aid and the thought process, the moments of self doubt and realising what it is you bring to the table

- We talk about the male vs female founders and how Airlie thinks she would've gone raising capital

- Probably my favourite part of this chat is where I ask Airlie the advice she would give to young women in Year 10/11 at school about entering the agriculture industry but also life more generally.
