Built In The Bush - Dr Kate Burke. From boots to suits and the mind mechanic.

Tell Us Your Thoughts About The EpisodeIn this episode of Built in the Bush, I sit down with Dr Kate Burke — independent farm consultant, PhD agronomist, and author of Succession: Future-proofing your family farm and Crops, People, Money & You.With experience spanning both the paddock and the boardroom — including her time as Commercial Manager for one of Australia’s largest grain producers — Kate brings a rare perspective on what it actually takes to build a profitable, sustainable farm business.But this conversation goes deeper than production and performance.We explore the concept of the “mind mechanic” — and how, over the past decade, this way of thinking has fundamentally shaped how Kate approaches decision-making, leadership, and the complex human dynamics inside farming families and businesses.Because behind every operational challenge… there’s a thinking pattern driving it.And often, that’s where the real work begins.🔗 Learn more about Kate’s work: Kate’s Books - Think Agri 📩 Connect with Kate directly via her website contact pageIf you’re navigating succession, scaling a farm business, or simply want to think more clearly about the decisions in front of you — this is a conversation worth listening to.
