Like most kids brought up in rural Australia, Sarah Prime couldn't wait to leave the family farm in South Australia's Eyre Peninsula and head for the bright lights of the big city.

Returning to the area years later she was shocked to see that the once-thriving towns and communities of her childhood were now, in her words, places that ‘people sped past on their way to somewhere else'.

Realising that the decline in rural areas was heading to a point of no return, she left her corporate career behind and set up the Champions Academy, through which she is engaging the next generation in the process of revitalising rural regions by becoming problem solvers, innovators and entrepreneurs.
