Down to Earth
Welcome to Down to Earth, (previously From the Ground Up) a podcast brought to you by Young Country. This is a podcast for the go getters, the big dreamers, the innovators of the primary sector. I’m your host Rebecca Greaves, and we’re taking a closer look at people in the primary industries who have dared to think big, push the limits and give it a go in business. We’ll be asking them what the catalyst was to take the plunge and make a change. We find out how they got to where they are now, what they’ve learned along the way, and what their advice is to other aspiring agri-innovators. So, settle in and listen up as we serve you a healthy dose of inspiration, motivation, and maybe even challenge your thinking a little. https://youngcountry.co.nz/podcasts/
