Hello and welcome back to Company for 2025 - it feel like about 3 years since I was last talking with you. We've got an exciting year of stories lined up for you in 2025 as well as some live events in the works as well. Make sure you subscribe or follow the podcast to keep abreast of these things. To start off the year - our podcast is sounding a bit different today - as we have not one but two guests - and for the first time ever we have a male interviewee on the airwaves. So grab your husbands - and get them on board too because I know they will love both the male and the female in this chat. Today we hear from Olympic Gold Medallist, commentator, professional speaker and farmer, Giaan Rooney and her fifth generation cattle farmer husband Sam Levett who also runs the livestock buying and selling platform: The Herd Online. These guys led a *hectic* life that juggles farming, children, an innovative agricultural platform, TV gigs and just for good measure a huge house renovation too. Giaan Rooney knew nothing about farming or agriculture for most of her life until she met Sam - and now she could hold her own amongst most of the farming greats - she's an excellent advocate for our industry - We talked for literally hours to record this podcast, that's just the nature of their story so without further ado - let's hear it. This is a Manson Podcasting production in partnership with Rabobank Australia. You can find a BONUS encore of Giaans' story by becoming a paid subscriber to our newsletter Company on Sundays.
