Instant Connection with Sharlee Cassidy from Windalee Flower Farm 6:58

Instant Connection is a special segment of A Friend of Mine podcast, bringing you unplanned, yet meaningful conversations with remarkable women from regional and rural Australia. In these brief but powerful episodes, host Kimberley Furness dives into candid moments and unscripted insights that shine a light on authenticity, resilience and the beauty of real-time connection. Perfect for listeners looking for quick inspiration, Instant Connection delivers insightful snapshots that resonate and inspire—no script, just pure connection. I was recently presenting workshops at the NSW Rural Women’s Gathering in Harden Murrumburrah. As part of the workshop, I invited attendees to take the microphone and be part of a mock podcast interview. OAK is all about amplifying women's voices and helping them gain the confidence to speak up and share their unique stories. Opportunities like these – where women can practice, get feedback, and feel supported – are rare, and it's a privilege to create that space for them. This interview was too good to not publish. In this special, very short episode, Sharlee Cassidy shares a little insight into launching Windalee Flower Farm in the scenic Yass Valley. Keep in mind, there was minimal prepping on both sides of the microphone, and unfortunately, we only had a small window of time. LINKS Also mentioned in this episode...

From setbacks to success: Kate Lamason on reapplying for the AgriFutures Rural Women's Award 19:52

منذ 22 weeks19:52

19:52

This is a special episode on the AgriFutures Rural Women’s Award with a focus on resilience and perseverance in the face of initial setbacks. Despite not succeeding in her first application, Kate Lamason emphasises the importance of never giving up and the growth that comes from reapplying. Kate is a co-owner of Little Tuna , a company leading the charge in sustainability within Australia's seafood industry. She is also this year’s AgriFutures Rural Women's Award Queensland Winner. In this episode, we dive into Kate's journey, from navigating the complexities of running a business that champions Australian-caught tuna to her inspiring persistence in applying for the AgriFutures award - not once, but three times. Kate's project for the award focuses on advocating for locally sourced, sustainable seafood and bringing Australian tuna back to our supermarket shelves. With a background fortified by her participation in the Seafood Industry Leadership Program, Kate shares how her experiences have shaped her confidence and leadership within the industry. In our conversation, Kate reflects on the significance of reapplying for the award, emphasising the personal growth, lessons and networks she gained along the way. We discuss how each attempt contributes to professional development and how the AgriFutures alumni fosters collaboration over competition. Kate’s story is a testament to resilience, highlighting how perseverance and a supportive network can propel women in business to new heights, regardless of the outcome. REFLECTIONS ON THE EPISODE Listening back to this episode, one of the standout lessons from Kate's journey is that resilience - the ability to try again, even after setbacks - is such a vital trait in business. Whether it’s reapplying for an award or navigating the challenges of running a company, it’s clear that every 'no' or roadblock presents an opportunity to reassess, learn and come back stronger. Kate also mentioned the strength of the Rural Women’s Award alumni - a community of women who support, uplift, and encourage each other. In business, this is incredibly important. Having a network of people who understand your journey, who can offer advice or simply cheer you on, makes all the difference. Finally, Kate’s story reminds us that success isn’t just about the final destination—whether that’s winning an award or getting a product on supermarket shelves. It’s about everything you learn along the way. Each step, each attempt, and each connection contributes to your growth, both personally and professionally. Takeaways: Resilience is crucial in business, as setbacks can provide opportunities for growth. Networking with supportive communities, such as the AgriFutures Rural Women's Award alumni, fosters collaboration and development. Reapplying for awards can lead to personal and professional growth, despite previous setbacks. Men and women face challenges differently in business, with women often experiencing more self-doubt. Every 'no' can be a chance to reflect, learn, and come back stronger than before. Success is not just about winning; it's about the journey and connections made along the way.

Nikki Davey shares how a supportive network encouraged her to reapply despite her doubts, emphasising the significance of community in personal and professional development. Nikki is the co-founder and CEO of Grown Not Flown , an innovative platform connecting local flower farmers with consumers, transforming the floral industry by promoting sustainability and supporting small-scale growers. In two short years, Nikki has not only expanded her platform but is also gearing up to host her first conference aimed at micro and small-scale flower producers. In this episode, we talk about her decision to reapply for the AgriFutures’s Rural Women’s Award after making it as a state finalist in 2022. Despite her doubts, Nikki shares how her supportive network, including key mentors, encouraged her to try again the following year. She opens up about the fears and self-judgment that accompanied her second application, but more importantly, she highlights the value of persistence. Her story is a powerful reminder that success is not always about the win—sometimes, it's about the growth and the community that propels you forward. Nikki now has the crown of 2023 AgriFutures Rural Women’s Award Victoria Winner, and most impressively, the overall National Winner. REFLECTIONS ON THIS EPISODE Listening back to this episode, one of the standout lessons from Nikki’s journey is that sometimes the first try doesn’t lead to the outcome we hope for, but it can lay the foundation for something greater. Reapplying for the AgriFutures Rural Women’s Award wasn’t just about winning - it was about learning, growing and realising what more she had to offer. That persistence, the courage to try again, is something we can all relate to, whether in business or life. We referred to that first application as a ‘first draft.’ That’s something I think we can all take on board, because so much of life is like that first draft - imperfect, but necessary to build on. The key is to keep refining, keep growing, and not let fear stop us from submitting that ‘second draft.’ It’s through these iterations that we not only improve, but truly understand our own potential. Finally, as Nikki shared, it’s not always about the title or the win - sometimes, the real victory comes from the journey itself. It’s about redefining success, building a supportive network, and embracing the process, no matter the outcome. Every step, every 'first draft' brings us closer to becoming the person we’re meant to be, and that’s something worth celebrating.

This special A Friend of Mine episode is a live roving interview from the 2024 Elmore Field Days - a significant agricultural event teeming with innovation and community spirit. Over three days, tens of thousands of visitors are expected through the gates to explore more than 700 exhibitors. At times you will hear the sounds of our surroundings whether it's the chatter of visitors, machinery or perhaps the odd PA announcement. I feel like these sounds make you feel like you’re standing right there with us having a quick catch up. Through these conversations, this episode showcases the resilience and innovation within the agricultural community, inspiring listeners to appreciate the stories behind the products we consume. First, we meet Emma Kennedy, who shares the story of how she and her husband launched Kennedy Food Produce amidst the challenges of a drought. Emma's venture into popcorn production not only provided an alternative income stream but also offered an educational experience about the origins of food. Her passion for connecting people to the source of their food is evident as she describes the joy of seeing customers' surprise when they realise popcorn can be freshly made from a cob. Emma's narrative is one of resilience and creativity, showcasing how adversity can lead to innovative solutions. The episode then shifts focus to the shearing industry, where Kimberley talks with Alice McKay, a young shearer who has traveled the world honing her craft. Alice's journey from a farm in Drummartin, Victoria, to shearing sheds in England and New Zealand highlights the increasing role of women in this traditionally male-dominated field. Her experiences reflect a broader trend of female empowerment in agriculture, inspiring future generations to follow their passions. Alice discusses the physical demands of shearing and the determination required to succeed, emphasising the supportive community that has helped her thrive. Through Alice's story, listeners gain insight into the evolving landscape of the shearing profession and the opportunities it presents for women. Takeaways : Emma and her husband started Kennedy Farm Produce in 2018 as a way to diversify their income during a challenging drought period. The Kennedy's unique popcorn product involves cooking the whole corn cob in a brown paper bag in the microwave, providing a healthier snack option. Emma emphasises the importance of educating people about where their food comes from, offering an educational angle to her product. Alice’s journey into shearing highlights a growing trend of female participation in the traditionally male-dominated field. Alice has used her shearing career to travel internationally, including working in England and New Zealand, showcasing the opportunities shearing provides. The Elmore Field Days event offers a vibrant community atmosphere where small businesses can showcase their products and network with others.
