We talk about who the stakeholders are, why they should all be involved in farm progression/succession planning, the importance of identifying what the different generations’ stakeholders want and how we reach an understanding. This progression process is unashamedly about the older generation first.

Discussing some of the key issues in progression planning, including what is it? Why progression? Family communication and what is the farm business? This process is always about relationships first.

A special podcast episode in light of our new Talk to a Mate® album, launched in October 2022. The lyrics in both the acoustic and full band version of the Talk to a Mate® song encapsulate the message of identifying our true mates and the importance of asking and listening.

By acknowledging the different ways in which men and women communicate we can build stronger relationships. In this episode we discuss these differences and cover some useful tips to help us communicate more effectively.

As blokes we often get told men just don’t talk but there is science behind how we can communicate effectively and make an impression. If we understand our self and find a safe place, we will be more willing to spill our guts and tell our story.

Marty takes us through his personal story, including his suicidal thoughts, hitting rock bottom, and how he came out the other side.

We dispel some of common myths around suicide and discuss the things we can do in our role as primary carers that will make a difference to someones life.

Discussing suicide outcomes in context, what we know about suicide, and the power of ordinary people to make a difference.

“Primary Care” is ordinary people looking out for their mates via our connections through family, community group, and workplace. We talk about what primary care really is and how a conversation can change a life.

We chat with Ron Bryant (President of the Sporting Shooters Association of Australia WA) about our community-based partnership with the Red Card for Rabbits and Foxes vermin control initiative. We talk about how our passions and interests are an essential driver for maintaining good social/spiritual wellbeing outcomes.
