23: HoA "How Agriculture found me" with Georgie Aley

Welcome to Episode 23! 

We're getting a few loyal listeners so I'd love for you to jump over to our Instagram @HumansofAgriculture_ and  let us know if you've got a routine for when you tune in – is it while having a walk, zoning out and having a coffee. While you're there you can check out some of the photo blogs and our video with the team from Green Eggs last week! 

Today I'm sitting down with someone who really helped me about 18 months ago and gave me the confidence to chase what I was after. It was a big piece of self discovery for me and her advice I have carried with me ever since. Georgie Aley is a household name within industry circles but for those outside of agriculture her story can resonate with absolutely anyone. She has received some of the highest accolades in industry -  being awarded the 2013 Rabobank Emerging leader award, recognised in 2014 as one of the 100 women in Australian Agribusiness and she went on to make the AFR's 100 women of influence! I've worked alongside GA and I can tell you she is an absolute gun!

Today we're chatting about: 

- How agriculture found Georgie

- Understanding where she wanted to have impact and how she set off to begin that process 

- Giving back and developing herself including the Youth Ag summit and her time at the Future Farmers network 

- Setting goals and absolutely smashing them out of the park years ahead of schedule 

- Creating options and being somewhat in control of your career 

- Her journey so far in Agriculture and from her perspective some of the perceived challenges for Women in Agriculture 

- What advice she would give to young people thinking about entering the agriculture industry
