• What makes great content? - It’s a good question, and I reckon I just experienced it with the Nigel Kerin podcast we did over the weekend. The content Nigel produced had an intention behind it. That intention was to deliberately deliver information to people in a form where they could take it away and use all or part of it in their own businesses. And he nailed it. But there are no shortcuts in providing great content, and Nigel proved that with his preparation. He wanted our questions early so he could think and write down some dot points to deliver what he wanted to deliver. There were some back-and-forth phone calls, and I’d liken it to him getting 90 per cent of what he wanted to get across, as opposed to 60 per cent if he just winged it. I'd describe his podcast as like having a keynote speaker at your conference who gives every talk on different subjects and has the whole audience leaning in at all times. It’s a must listen.

• AI Webinar - We are running an AI Webinar for Farmers subscribers with Alice Mabin next Wednesday. AI is gripping the world, and we all need to know why. Alice will give a presentation that’s relatable to the Ag space. Join to grab a ticket.

• Listen here to a preview of the Nigel Kerin podcast (part 1) - Here is an appetiser to the real thing. The business of climate. Go here if you are an Apple Podcast listener or over here if you listen on Spotify.

• Our latest writings:

• We released part 2 of the Nigel Kerin podcast this morning. It’s called “The business of climate”, and for me, I am just starting to understand why Nigel has developed his advanced Farming systems.

• We ask our Farmer subscribers to give a rundown of what it was like Farming in the tough 1990s.

• We also asked our subscribers what particular traits they inherited from their parents or grandparents. It’s an interesting self-assessment to go through.

• This is a great story about how Nigel Kerin created a whole new income stream by utilising finance he wasn’t using.

• We fall in love with the things we create. This leads to biases. We explain further.

• One of our new writing contributors is 22; he hasn’t been there and done that yet, but his skills in understanding what’s going on around him are second to none. And his writing is soooo good.

• Our 22 yo writer, Caleb, wrote about what he learned about relationships whilst working at a few stations outside Alice Springs.

• We wrote about part 1 of the Nigel Kerin podcast.

• If you want to do a good podcast, you have to prepare. Nigel made the effort to ensure he delivered content people could take away and use. It’s a great lesson on how to deliver.

• Some Farmers up in the Central and Northers NSW area won’t be putting a Crop in this year. It’s too dry. This is not what a couple of banks wanted to hear…..

• Michael Bagshaw, another of our contributors, outlined how being curious is a great superpower.

• Have a great Wednesday, and subscribe to witness some truly great content.
