Everyone is talking about what could go wrong with Australian property.Falling prices. Policy changes. Higher costs. Weaker confidence. More uncertainty.But what if a softer market isn't just something to survive?What if it's an opportunity to create value that simply isn't available when everyone is fighting to buy?In this episode of The Australian Property Show, Tom Haigh breaks down five practical strategies for making money in a down property market.These aren't theoretical strategies. They're approaches Tom has used himself and strategies the Groundswell team is currently helping clients explore.We look at how to:Create dual-income properties and dramatically increase rental incomeRenovate dated property to manufacture value rather than wait for market growthIdentify adaptive reuse opportunities where a property's current use isn't its highest and best useFind under-rented commercial assets where increasing the income can unlock significant valueTrade up into better residential property while taking advantage of relative price discountsThe bigger lesson is that you don't need to predict the bottom of the market to make a good property decision.You need to understand the fundamentals, identify where the market is mispricing an opportunity, and have the vision and discipline to act.If you're currently sitting on the sidelines because the headlines are telling you property is in trouble, this episode will give you a different way to look at the market.Take Action Today:If you are serious about building wealth through property, but not yet fully clear on your next move, book a complimentary clarity call with our team via the link below.In one conversation, we can help you get clearer on your position, your options, and the path forward — because clarity creates confidence, and confidence helps people act.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Book a complimentary clarity call⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Connect with host of The Australian Property Show - Tom Haigh⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠We'll help analyse your current position, identify your biggest untapped opportunities, and get you moving towards the life you want.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠General Advice Warning! The information (including taxation) contained in this podcast is general in nature and does not consider your individual financial circumstances or needs.

Ellen Francis of the Quy Hall Estate in Cambridgeshire explains why she has put social media at the heart of how the Estate connects with its local community, in the latest episode of the Estate Matters podcast, recorded at Groundswell.Ellen and her husband Henry left careers in law and City finance to take on the diversified Estate between Cambridge and Newmarket, which they have now run for thirteen years. Alongside residential and commercial lets, tenanted and in-hand farmland and a Site of Special Scientific Interest, the couple are transitioning their arable land to regenerative farming.The Estate's Instagram account has become a way of opening Quy Hall up to the people around it. "It's a tool for opening up, a tool for being transparent, and a tool for connecting with the communities around us," Ellen says, describing its value as relational capital rather than sales.She also shares why she stopped keeping herself out of the frame, having realised that people connect with a person and a story far more than with an account "that looks like it could have come from any estate".The episode is a candid, practical listen for any estate wondering whether social media is worth its time, and Ellen's advice to those still hesitating is simple.

Only 4% of Benedikt Bösel's customers scanned the QR code on their meat — even though that code would have shown them the life of the specific cow they were eating, its pasture, its movement, everything. The other 96% either trusted the brand completely, or simply didn't care. That number sits at the centre of this conversation.This episode was recorded live at Groundswell 2026, the UK's largest regenerative agriculture festival. Koen moderated a 55-minute panel on a question that matters as much to investors as to farmers: who actually benefits when data is collected from farms?The four panellists: Ichsani Wheeler, soil scientist at the OpenGeoHub Foundation and satellite data researcher building an open-access soil registry; Benedikt Bösel, farmer of a 3,000-hectare operation in eastern Brandenburg running a digital twin alongside the physical farm; Antony Yousefian, co-founder of The First Thirty, an investment firm building the data infrastructure to turn farms into preventative healthcare systems; and Matthijs Westerwoudt, co-founder of Wilder Land, building what he calls a Strava for biodiversity using AI-powered acoustic monitoring.Video credit @Commonland.In this session:— Why Benedikt says most farm data has been useless — and what is finally changing— Why Antony believes the cost of communicating with plants has collapsed— The NHS values one quality-adjusted life year at £30,000 — and why that number should reframe the entire food system— The 2013 US case where aggregated farm data was used to set surveillance pricing on inputs against the farmers who generated it— Why only 4% of customers scanned the QR code with full cow data — and what that tells us about the real entry point to consumer behaviour change— How Wilder Land is turning bird species counts into a biodiversity score farmers can put on a product label— What Benedikt's wife's iron levels after birth have to do with all of this-------This session is part of the AI 4 Soil Health project which aims to help farmers and policy makers by providing new tools powered by AI to monitor and predict soil health across Europe.

In the final week of our 10 More Days of Groundswell series, I talk to Ben Adams (Farmer, Adams Agriculture) and Mark Palmer (Director and farm advisor, Systems4Food Ltd).Cover crops and no-till have transformed regenerative arable in England. But the easy wins are largely banked, and a more honest conversation is starting: what does soil health really look like once you've ticked the obvious boxes? Farmers funded through Defra's ADOPT programme are running on-farm trials testing cover crops with sensing, multispecies cropping, living mulches in maize, and relay cropping at field scale. The original panel was hosted in The Snug by the ADOPT Support Hub.

In the final week of our 10 More Days of Groundswell series - I talk to Doug Wanstall (Director, Beyond Zero), Joshua Wade (Director SG Wade Ltd), and Lottie Hawkins (Founder, Earthly Biochar).This an impromptu in-the-field conversation.Circular farming is the regenerative idea that everything leaving the farm should come back as something useful. Farmers funded through Defra's ADOPT programme are testing what that actually looks like: Black Soldier Fly larvae replacing soya in poultry feed, biochar produced from forestry and crop waste, and mushroom-and-biochar systems converting agricultural by-products. The original panel was hosted in The Snug by the ADOPT Support Hub.

How can we make the land we have in the UK work best for nature, for people and for producing food? Our final episode recorded in our Podcast Tent at Groundswell this year, focused on a contentious yet hugely important topic: land use. Simply, do we have enough land in this country to do everything? To produce food, to support nature, to generate energy, to store carbon, to build housing, to maintain community spaces – the list goes on. The SFT's Stuart Oates is joined by our CEO and organic dairy farmer, Patrick Holden, journalist and presenter of Countryfile and BBC Radio 4's Rare Earth, Tom Heap, and organic mixed farmer and Nuffield scholar, Dave Oates – they discuss whether or not crop rotations and rotational grazing offers the solution to doing it all, how 'agrihood' initiatives across the world are successfully integrating food growth and productive green spaces into residential areas, and ask how can regulation and government policies better support multifunctional land use?

For twenty years, almost any property purchase has worked. Buy something, hold it, and the market bailed you out.That era is ending.In this episode, Tom Haigh shares a story close to home — a disciplined, decorated family man whose property decision felt right at the time, and cost him a decade of zero return. It's a mistake more common than most investors realise, and it rarely announces itself until years later.Tom breaks down why comfort and confidence are not the same thing, what the Newcastle Knights' extraordinary turnaround can teach property investors about preparation, and the five-step DRIVE framework Groundswell uses to make sure the purchase is the last decision made — not the first.If you're a business owner or investor using property to build long-term wealth, this episode will change how you weigh up your next move.Key takeaways:The market has quietly rewarded guesswork for two decades — that forgiveness is ending, and the cost of an under-researched decision is about to get much higher.Comfort and confidence aren't the same thing. Comfort is a feeling; confidence comes only from proper preparation.Even careful, successful people can make comfortable property decisions instead of precise ones — discipline in one area of life doesn't automatically transfer to property.A "fine at the time" purchase can sit flat for a decade — the real cost isn't just missed growth, it's the opportunity cost of everything that money could have done instead.The Newcastle Knights' turnaround is a useful model: role clarity, a calculated plan and attention to detail turn an average outcome into a genuinely strong one.Groundswell's DRIVE framework — Destination, Reality, Intelligence, Vehicle, Execution — deliberately treats the property purchase as the last decision, not the first.The upfront work that feels slow and unglamorous is actually the highest-leverage move an investor can make — it's the difference between a decision you're comfortable with today and one you're still proud of in ten years.Take Action Today:If you are serious about building wealth through property, but not yet fully clear on your next move, book a complimentary clarity call with our team via the link below.In one conversation, we can help you get clearer on your position, your options, and the path forward — because clarity creates confidence, and confidence helps people act.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Book a complimentary clarity call⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Connect with host of The Australian Property Show - Tom Haigh⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠We'll help analyse your current position, identify your biggest untapped opportunities, and get you moving towards the life you want.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠General Advice Warning! The information (including taxation) contained in this podcast is general in nature and does not consider your individual financial circumstances or needs.

Could the rise of GLP1s such as Ozempic be a catalyst for more sustainable farming? Sounds ridiculous right? But for anyone eating less, the calories you do consume need to really count. As more and more people use anti-obesity medications (the UK is already Europe's largest market for GLP1s and uptake is projected to increase dramatically), the focus on nutrient density is only going one way. The public is waking up to what nutrient density actually means, and crucially, what it means for their health. If nutrient dense food depends upon nutrient dense soil – and the route to nutrient dense soil is agroecological farming – will this create greater demand for sustainable farming practices? Join Stuart Oates and expert panellists Dan Kittredge (founder of the Bionutrient Food Association), Dr Lucy Williamson (author of Soil to Gut and award-winning registered nutritionist), and Tom Pearson (Nuffield farming scholar and medical doctor) to find out what might happen next.    Find more SFT podcasts, featuring some of the biggest names in food and farming, at our main podcast page.

This episode is a companion to the upcoming Thought Leadership Handbook — part of a series where Bill speaks with exemplars featured in the book about how they actually practice thought leadership. There are plenty of books explaining what AI is. This one is about the person who decided to write a book that tells you what to do about it instead — and who's spent 25 years turning disruption into frameworks other people can actually use. Charlene Li joins Bill Sherman to talk about her new book, Winning with AI, co-written with Katia Walsh, and why this one felt different from her five previous titles. It's less an explainer, she says, and more a "doing book" — built for a moment when the case studies go stale before the ink dries. That tension opens into a bigger conversation about how ideas get made and shared. Charlene walks through the origin of Groundswell, the book that made her a New York Times bestseller, written entirely remotely with co-author Josh Bernoff while she was still an in-house analyst at Forrester. She's candid about what co-authorship actually requires — not just complementary skills, but real trust built over years, disagreements included. The conversation also digs into a business model question that shaped her career: when she left Forrester to found Altimeter, she gave research away for free, betting that value would come back around. It did — inbound demand from companies who'd read the free work and wanted the deeper conversation. Bill connects this to economist Elinor Ostrom's work on knowledge commons. Underneath it all is a simple throughline: frameworks outlast the moment they were built for. The "ladder of engagement" from Groundswell is still taught 18 years later — not because the case studies held up, but because the thinking did. If you're building a book, a body of research, or a career on ideas that might get overtaken by the next news cycle, this one's worth your time. Three Key Takeaways: • Co-authorship runs on trust, not just talent. Charlene describes working with multiple co-authors over her career and is clear that the deciding factor was never just complementary skill sets — it was years of built trust, the ability to disagree productively, and knowing when to step away from a deadline argument and come back with a clear head. • Give the idea away first — the business follows. At Altimeter, Charlene made research free when competitors charged for it, building an audience of 100,000+ readers almost overnight. The resulting inbound demand became the foundation of the business, illustrating a "blue ocean" alternative to the traditional pay-for-access analyst model. • Durable frameworks outlive their case studies. Charlene expects Winning with AI to need a new edition once roughly 20% of its examples go stale — but she draws a distinction between outdated examples and outdated thinking, pointing to Groundswell's "ladder of engagement," still taught 18 years after publication. If you enjoyed hearing Charlene Li unpack the thinking behind Winning with AI, go back to her first appearance on the show — episode 113, recorded back when she was preparing to launch The Disruption Mindset. Both conversations trace the same throughline: how Charlene builds frameworks that outlast the moment they were written for, whether she's leaving Forrester to found Altimeter or navigating a fast-moving AI landscape years later. Hearing the two together shows how consistent her approach to thought leadership has been across three very different books and two decades of change. Listen to "Leveraging Thought Leadership With Peter Winick — Episode 113" with Charlene Li.

Ten years of the regenerative farming festival Groundswell - we talk to farmers who were at the first event about how it's changed the way the farm.Chris van Tulleken says farmers and doctors want the same thing, for people to want to buy more real, unprocessed food.Presented by Charlotte Smith and produced by Beatrice Fenton.

We speak to the Environment Secretary about the government's new farming roadmap for England. It's 25 year plan and ministers say it'll give farmers the long-term clarity they need and access to the tools, technology,  skills and supply chains 'to innovate, invest and grow with confidence for generations to come.' We find out what farmers at the regenerative farming event Groundswell think of it, and discuss food security and global volatility. Experts argue that the UK can't have a 'business as usual' approach to growing food and food production should be a priority.All week we're talking about soil. Maize has become a controversial crop in recent years, in part because of its potential to cause soil erosion. In Devon, an on-farm trial is underway to grow maize interspersed with strips of mixed plants known as a 'living mulch', to protect the soil. Presenter = Charlotte Smith Producer = Rebecca Rooney

Calls for more government action to protect water supplies for farming.A series of workshops are taking place across Wales this year to collect hyper-local place names, particularly in rural areas.Later this week we'll be at Groundswell, the regenerative agriculture festival now in its 10th year. Regen ag puts an emphasis on soil, so this week here on Farming Today it's all about earth.Presented by Charlotte Smith and produced by Beatrice Fenton.

It's that time again - it's Groundswell, the key festival of the UK regenerative farming year - an event that's now been running for 10 glorious years. This is our essential guide to the festival's hot tickets.So who's with me? It's only bloomin' Alex Cherry, the Director of Groundswell and of Lannock Farm - and Sally-Ann Spence is here - an entomologist and farmer and Britain's Got Talent winner... We've got the fantastic Annie Landless, the Farm Manager at Ampney Brook Farm - and I'm thrilled to be sharing a screen and a microphone with Thomas Slattery, the ADOPT Programme Lead... ADOPT has very kindly agreed to sponsor not only this programme, but all of Farm Gate's content at Groundswell.

On June 29, a City of Milwaukee committee is slated to consider a small but controversial data center. It would be located at a vacant Walmart near 60th and West Capitol Drive.

Hello, and welcome to Farmerama. Today, we're sharing an episode from our friends in Australia. SOIL: Rewilding the Underground is a 6-part documentary podcast that follows the farmers, scientists, Indigenous custodians and communities who are turning degraded dirt back into living soil. We're sharing episode one, which traces our relationship with soil over millennia, to understand how humanity impacts the living, breathing universe of soil hidden beneath our feet, and the role that we play in their ecosystems. The series is told by Freya Mulvey, a lawyer and environmental enthusiast, so it's a slightly different and wider ranging perspective on soil than we usually cover on Farmerama - we think you'll really enjoy it. If you do, go ahead and listen to the rest of the six-part series, and stay up to date with the amazing work that Jess and Freya are doing by following them on socials, adding your voice to their impact survey, or checking out the resources on their website - links below. As for Farmerama, we recently celebrated our 10th birthday! Thanks to all of you who've tuned in over this time - it's a real privilege that we get to share the voices, knowledge and practical learnings of people on the land and seas and as ever we are so grateful for all of you out there doing the work on the ground to build a more ecological farming future for us all. For those of you in the UK, we will be at Groundswell on the 1st and 2nd of July, and will be hosting evening drinks on July 1st, where we will hear from some Cereal Revisited contributors as well as more celebrating a decade of storytelling with Farmerama listeners. Keep your eyes out for us in the Groundswell Programme! And stay tuned as we release our Summer season of episodes starting next month Enjoy episode one of SOIL: Rewilding the Underground.

Welcome to episode #1041 of Thinking With Mitch Joel (formerly Six Pixels of Separation). At a time when every leadership team is being told that artificial intelligence will change everything, Charlene Li has spent her career helping organizations separate signal from noise. A New York Times bestselling author and trusted advisor to CEOs and boards, Charlene first became widely known for helping leaders understand transformative shifts through books like Groundswell, Open Leadership and The Disruption Mindset. Her latest book, Winning With AI - The 90-Day Blueprint For Success, co-authored with Dr. Katia Walsh, tackles one of the most pressing questions facing business leaders today: not what AI is, but what to do about it. Drawing on research, executive interviews and practical experience, Charlene argues that organizations do not need an AI strategy… they need to rethink how AI serves their existing business strategy. In our conversation, she explores why most organizations are still struggling to move beyond experimentation, why leadership and transformation matter more than technology selection, and why the greatest opportunity may not be efficiency at all, but creating more human-centered organizations. Along the way, Charlene challenges conventional thinking about AI pilots, workforce transformation, organizational design and the future role of leadership in an era where intelligence itself is becoming abundant.

Breaking The Silence with Dr Gregory Williams Leadership, Integrity and Generational Character Guest, Keith Grounsell, a 28-year law enforcement veteran, two-time Chief of Police, former DEA Special Agent, international police advisor, entrepreneur, speaker, and multi-book author This Week's Guest is back by popular demand: Keith Grounsell! Keith is a veteran law enforcement leader with nearly 30 years at the city, county, federal and international levels. A former deep undercover narcotics and officer and 2-time Chief of Police. He is the author of more than 12 books. You can find all of Keith's book at his author page on Amazon: Amazon.com: Keith P. Grounsell: books, biography, latest update In this episode of Breaking the Silence, Dr. Gregory Williams hosts author and former police chief Keith Groundswell to explore the essential pillars of leadership. The discussion moves from the personal influence of mentors and family to the high-stakes realities of international undercover work and global counter-terrorism. Groundswell emphasizes that true leadership is built on a foundation of integrity that must remain consistent across both public and private life. The Foundation of Leadership: Integrity and Accountability Keith Groundswell posits that leadership is a lifelong journey of learning, where the primary responsibility is to mentor others and make them better than oneself. He identifies integrity as the "first brick" of any leadership foundation; without it, even qualities like courage and discipline can be misdirected toward harmful ends. In the modern era, Groundswell notes that the ubiquity of social media and cameras acts as a form of external accountability, ensuring that a leader's public "happy face" matches their private actions. He argues that as one rises in an organization, the responsibility to work harder and act righteously increases rather than diminishes. A critical component of maintaining this integrity is the presence of an "accountability partner" or a tight inner circle. Groundswell highlights that leaders must surround themselves with people—whether a spouse or a professional command staff—who are empowered to tell the "honest truth" and challenge potentially poor decisions. He stresses that a leader must create an environment of trust where respectful disagreement is encouraged, ensuring that once a collective decision is made, the entire team supports it. Mentorship and the Influence of the Father Groundswell attributes his drive and work ethic to his father, a 22-year U.S. Marine who worked three jobs to support the family. This model of sacrifice taught him that a leader's role is to step up and support those around them, regardless of personal cost. He acknowledges that while some have positive models to mimic, others use a negative upbringing as motivation to "not repeat the process." Regardless of the source, Groundswell believes that finding a mentor—someone who "checks" you at critical crossroads—is what keeps a person on the correct path. Global Security and Decisive Action Drawing from his experience commanding a 5,000-man SWAT team in Afghanistan and working in international narcotics, Groundswell offers a stark critique of current global affairs. He discusses the dangers of "narco-terrorism" and the strategic importance of maintaining a U.S. footprint abroad to prevent the growth of terrorist networks. He specifically criticizes the abrupt withdrawal from Afghanistan, which he claims left vital intelligence databases and $90 billion in weapons in the hands of the Taliban, effectively making them one of the most powerful terrorist organizations overnight. He advocates for decisive leadership in the face of regimes like Iran, arguing that diplomatic policing and human rights protection are essential for a safer world. Shaping the Next Generation A significant portion of the conversation focuses on the "diminishment of society" caused by instant gratification and the lack of personal responsibility. Groundswell has authored a children's book series to help parents spark tough conversations about kindness, boundaries, and self-respect. He argues that respect for authority must begin in the home; if children do not respect their parents or caregivers, they will inevitably become a disruption in school and society. His goal is to move youth away from "victim culture" and toward a mindset of accountability and resilience. The dialogue serves as a powerful reminder that leadership is not defined by title or power, but by the consistency of one's character. Whether managing a national SWAT team or raising a child, the principles remain the same: take responsibility, maintain a foundation of integrity, and never be afraid to take a stand for what is right.

Yanara Friedland is a writer, translator, and educator born in Berlin. She is the author of Uncountry: A Mythology (2016) winner of the Noemi Press Fiction Book Award and Groundswell (2021) selected for Essay Press's Book Award and Thanatographies (U Alabama Press, 2026). Her work explores the effects of dislocation on memory and language, engaging with multilingual and transhistorical spaces through archival research and in collaboration with other artists. She teaches creative writing and literature at Fairhaven College of Interdisciplinary Studies and co-runs the reading series Mutter Courage in the Pacific Northwest. Thanatographies is a genre-defying meditation on disappearance, memory, and the porous boundaries between the living and the dead. In poetic prose, Yanara Friedland weaves together dreamscapes, historical fragments, personal recollections, and philosophical inquiry to explore the afterlives of loss and survival. Moving through rooms, cities, forests, and archives, the text becomes a living document of insomnia, exile, and the spectral presence of women across time, including artists, revolutionaries, caretakers, and ghosts. Structured in four sections titled Room, Night, Medusas, and Burials, the book traverses inner and outer landscapes, from Berlin's haunted streets to the intimate terrain of the body. Friedland's voice is both lyrical and incisive, drawing on figures such as Unica Zürn, Rosa Luxemburg, and Else Lasker-Schüler to illuminate the intersections of gender, violence, and historical erasure. The result is a deeply embodied poetics of wakefulness, where hidden life remembers and speaks. Thanatographies is written for readers of experimental literature, feminist theory, and contemporary poetics. The book resonates with artists, scholars, and seekers who are compelled by the aesthetics of mourning, the politics of memory, and the radical potential of language to hold what is otherwise unspeakable.
