Show Notes

In this episode we learn how adversity can be responsible for dramatic personal growth in ourselves. Adam Williamson, an Australian thoroughbred horse stud farm manager faced adversity in his own family and farming operation. To combat hardships brought on by extreme drought conditions he decided to go back to University to  study for a degree in Precision Agriculture. 

Adam’s story is a great example of the benefits of education not only early on in our lives but throughout our whole life. Going back to University helped him take control of a difficult situation and create opportunities, including a Nuffield Scholarship.
