He's a hard man to get hold of, often travelling Australia and to various locations around the world. At the age of just 24, Callan Daley is playing a key role as the Business Development Lead for MEQ Probe.
Callan joins host Oli Le Lievre to chat about the journey from Queensland farm kid to the juggle of uni and ultimately finding his feet in a growing start up business, right back home in agriculture.
A few of the other things Callan chats about:
- All the places he’s been with work of late (around Australia and overseas)
- Reigniting his interest in Agriculture (“I’ve always had it in the background, but drought and harsh living conditions growing up as a kid aren't exactly the most appealing ways to foster an interest into an industry.”)
- Having a gap year out near Goondiwindi on a cattle and cropping farm and how much that impacted him.
- Finding that Uni just wasn’t for him.
- Being an EvokeAg Future Leader in 2019.
- And of course, his advice to year 10 students.
Callan is a trailblazer for the next generation in the agriculture industry, and he is certainly one to keep an eye on.
