Ep 50 PT 1 | Adam Gibson

/in /by

Charlie’s guest for this episode is business development guru Adam Gibson. Adam Gibson grew up on a small bush block in SE Qld, and over the next 35 years owned a gym, competed in body building competitions, mentored natural health business and ‘went to the edge’ before finding himself back on the land and knee deep in bringing together the vital components of farmers, skills, land and capital investment.

Episode Takeaways:

Adam grew up on small bush block in SE Qld | First foray into entrepreneurship was selling chicken manure from a local poultry shed | Adam bought a gym with his father when he left school. It was a passion project more than a sound financial plan | He was Natural Junior Mr Australia in 1992 | Adam is a strong believer in the essential alignment of one’s work with their passion and ‘genius’ | Attending a Landmark forum course changed his life. It made him understand that he had a choice to change his life or continue on his current path | Adam started a Natural Health business coaching and mentoring program to help practitioners develop entrepreneurial skills in their businesses | He found them to be passionate but not business minded and he helped them focus on value not volume | Diet is an essential component in health, and no matter what health modality practitioner he helped, the first step is to focus on the patients diet | One of Adams focus’s now is to be able to provide fresh nutritious food to his kids | When Adam found his way into the regenerative agriculture world he was interested to find that there was little cohesion and coordination of all the moving parts, and decided to use his business coaching skills to help pull together some of the threads to connect farms, farmers, skills and investors | He has worked with Cultivate Farms to achieve this.

Episode Takeaways:

Gabrielle never thought she would  live on a farm having grown up in suburban Sydney | She had bushland behind their house so did have contact and connection to ‘the bush’ | Gabrielle has a self diagnosed lifelong case of ‘Opposition Defiance Disorder’! | Curiosity drives her to want to question and understand concepts, which lead her to her first job in media as a ‘copy girl’ at News Limited, then at the Australian and Telegraph newspapers | She worked in New York at the Canadian consulate before working as the Press Secretary for politician Peter Collin, then finding her way back into journalism and the media industry | She published ‘Rusted Off – Why Country Australia is Fed Up’  (2018)  in which she tells the story of Australia as it is today, as she looks to her own rural community’s main street for answers to the big questions driving voters. Why are we so fed up with politics?  | She believes food buying decisions impact our health directly and the farm environmental health indirectly | We can’t separate the farm story and practices from the food quality | Transparency is essential to make decisions for both human and environ health |  We have to adapt to changes in economic, environ, social, demand etc. | Carbon accounting is a relatively new and significant opportunity for farmers to be remunerated for the ecological value they generate Politics designs legislation and regulation, farmers need to engage in that process to influence the outcomes | The Social Contract that farmers have ‘signed’ has changed from a production focus to environmental focus | Governments are now looking closer at subsidies etc. that focus on environmental services and less about production | Gabrielle is irate about farmers and indigenous land managers no being involved in climate debate | Her billboard quote would be ‘it’s the food stupid’ on one side and ‘it’s the land stupid’ on the other.
