2w ago00:41:04Tap to summarizeRegional Australia is changing fast, and farming is no longer just about life on the land. In this conversation with Chris, we explore the real pressures facing agribusiness, local government, regional communities, and family farms in Western Australia. Chris Antonio shares his journey from a farming family to agribusiness finance, local government leadership, and regional advocacy. The discussion covers volatile markets, global supply chains, fertiliser and fuel risks, food security, live sheep export, the Keep the Sheep campaign, renewables, housing, cost of living, compulsory voting in local council elections, and the growing city-country divide. This episode also looks at why agriculture needs to tell its story better. Farmers are not just working the land. They are running complex, professional businesses that manage risk, feed communities, support local economies, and help feed the world. We also discuss advice for young farmers, why regional careers matter, the importance of mentoring, and why the future of agribusiness depends on strong voices, local leadership, and the next generation stepping forward. --------------------------------- Disclaimer: This video is created for educational and informational purposes only.

2w ago00:37:31Tap to summarizeIn this powerful conversation with Kylie from Back on Track Foundation, we explore the hidden education gap many children face after cancer treatment. When treatment ends, families often leave the hospital system and are left to navigate school, trauma, missed learning, chemo brain, social confidence, and recovery on their own. Kylie shares why her mission is simple but deeply human: if a child survives cancer, their hopes and dreams deserve to survive too. This episode looks at how Back on Track Foundation supports children and siblings affected by childhood cancer, why education systems need to better support medically affected kids, and how AI could help create more personalised learning for children who have fallen behind through no fault of their own. We also discuss AI governance, data safety, human-in-the-loop decision-making, not-for-profit innovation, and how smaller organisations can use AI responsibly to reduce admin load and increase impact. This is a conversation about childhood cancer, education, recovery, technology, and making sure no child is left behind after treatment. --------------------------------- Disclaimer: This video is created for educational and informational purposes only.
