Join us for a chat with a very special friend of ours and co- host on @generation.ag, Kayla Jayde Evans!After what has been a few years since we have caught up this chat with Kayla was an inspiring story on what happens when you set your mind to something.  We discuss her journey and how she got to where she is now and how she made a name for herself in the industry of agriculture and has found herself winning an award for WA Young Achievers!  In an industry that involves so much time and energy we asked Kayla how she manages the work load of her side hustles, full time job and personal life - it was refreshing to hear that if you really do love something it doesn’t feel like work.We often say it is so important to have a good solid foundation of people surrounding you and we are so excited to introduce another lady to you who fits that category for us. We hope you enjoy yet another fun and informative chat!Share the love with Kayla on  @kaylajaydee_

Just because we may be young, does not necessarily mean that our experiences are not worthy to draw advice from. This topic is one that sparks great conversation, grab a coffee and catch up with us!
