Tales of a Nuffield Scholar with Kendra Hall

🎙️ Swimming, Storytelling, and Paralympic Glory!

Today, we dive deep into the world of elite sports and public relations with the incredible Kendra Hall! 🌟

Kendra's journey began in rural Indiana, USA, where she grew up surrounded by cornfields and horses, ultimately finding her passion in both agriculture and sports. 🐎

A master of agricultural communications and a Paralympian in sitting volleyball, Kendra’s life is a unique blend of athletic achievement and advocacy for better public understanding of farming. 🌾

From the volleyball courts of Athens, Beijing, and London, to her current role at Reverberate Public Relations, Kendra’s story is one of resilience, adaptation, and relentless pursuit of excellence. 🏐

Kendra is also a proud Nuffield Scholar, using her scholarship to explore the intersection of agriculture and public relations, and how to better connect the farming community with the wider public. Her research and insights continue to shape the future of agri-food communications. 📚

Buying a farm with ‘nothing’, podcasting, AI in dairy and Nuffield! 

Today’s guest and I instantly gravitated to each other when we found ourselves around the pool in Campo Grande, Brazil! 

Paul Windemuller, went out to New Zealand from  the states and studied agriculture.  He then fell in love with the country even finding his partner and his first child to be born in the land of the long white cloud! 

They headed back to the US and take on their new dairy farm which they have increased efficiency year on year and are now looking into how to optimise AI.

Paul is doing a Nuffield scholarship on that exact topic and has started a podcast to document the people he meets throughout it! 

Very forward thinking guy! 

Enjoy!

Travelling the world, writing 57 books and appreciating all breeds!

You may have seen me sharing RHS TV which I was lucky enough to be involved in but today’s guest has been actively involved in agricultural communication for some time…

Andy Frazier has been around the sector, around the world and succeeded in so many facets of the sector!

He started dressing cattle with notable success in the UK, US, Australia and more! 

He’s just released a book looking at the history of the Aberdeen Angus co-authoured by Dr Bob Haugh and Tom Burke

I could sit here and rattle off everything he’s done but best way to find that out is listen in! 

A true gentleman!

Marketing, baby products and agriculture?

I’ve found myself becoming more and more fascinated with marketing, especially in the rural space! 

Today we welcome, Andy Venables! Any comes from a dairy farm, he loved a lot of what that involved but didn’t see a career in the sector and chose a degree in business! 

He found an interest in marketing and after a go at marketing in a baby product company found the opportunity to come back to the farm but with a twist!

That twist was to be able to diversify and so Hillsgreen Marketing was born in 2018…6 years on, 12 employees and no sign of slowing down it’s exciting times!

Bloody interesting chat with someone who we drew a lot of parallels from each other!

Enjoy!
