Community Developer. Small Business Owner. Avid Netballer. International Agriculturalist. Local community enthusiast. Sometimes a travelling groupie (for certain bands). 

Liz Brennan is a legend, a very, very interesting person, and someone we've been fortunate to have known over the past few years.
Her life experience is so incredibly fascinating having worked across the length and breadth of Australia (with a large part in her beloved home state of Western Australia), she's worked internationally supporting farmers with increasing their productivity, access to markets with a particular focus on empowering women farmers. 

She's supported start-ups, served on the board of publicly listed companies, championed Women, mentored many [just stopping to draw breath], is an absolute powerhouse and, above all - makes time for a good ol' yarn and has been an incredible friend of HOA!

In today's chat we cover:

  • How Liz has sought Home through people and communities
  • The complexity of Food Security and what is required to deliver more equitable outcomes for all
  • Passion + Cursioty can create incredible opportunities for impactful work in agriculture, leadership and community development
  • Finding like-minded people and organisations to deliver meaningful and sustained change
  • Seeking wisdom and support from others (especially those with different perspectives)
  • The beauty, power and incredibleness of local communities



Podcast sponsor - Boarding Schools Expo
This week’s episode sponsor is the Boarding Schools Expo. Amanda and her team have been helping country kids and their families transition to boarding school life for 20 years. 


They believe in equity of access to choice, options, and opportunities for children’s education. They take a practical approach based on the saying “you don’t know what you don’t know” to help you get across what you need to know.


They have a busy July with a pop-up in Moree on the 25th of July and then a weekend in Tamworth on the 26th and 27th of July. If you or someone you know wants to find out more - tell them to get along!!
