This week, we welcome a very special guest to the podcast: Kevin Rudd, former Prime Minister of Australia and now Australia’s Ambassador to the United States.

During his visit to Raleigh, Ambassador Rudd sat down with us for a light-hearted yet insightful conversation about:

• What brings him to North Carolina — from touring Duke University to visiting Aussie-owned business NuFarm
• His role as Ambassador and why US–Australia ties matter more than ever
• Why North Carolina is attracting Australian businesses and opportunities for future collaboration
• Plus some fun Aussie vs American banter — from slang to sport to who really makes the better coffee

Whether you’re Aussie, American, or somewhere in between, you’ll love this mix of global insight and local flavor.

Tune in and join the conversation.
