This week we bring you another evokeAG x Humans of Agriculture collaboration podcast, with Oli Le Lievre. Oli catches up with waste warrior and insect farming pioneer, Olympia Yarger, the CEO and Founder of Goterra, an agritech startup using robotics and black soldier flies to turn food waste into a protein source, used as animal feed and a nutrient-dense fertiliser.Earlier this month, Olympia was announced as the 2023 ACT Australian of the Year for her contributions in dealing with climate change. Goterra's food management system has processed more than 35,000 tonnes of waste and saved more than 66,000 tonnes of carbon emissions. The modular biowaste converters have been a huge success for Sydney's Barangaroo precinct in managing high-volume commercial and retail food waste. The Woolworths Group has also incorporated Goterra's solution into their business model to help achieve zero food waste going to landfill by 2025.Here Olympia shares her story with Oli about how personal tragedy led to her traveling overseas and how those experiences helped shape who she is today and ultimately led to the creation of Goterra.

Sean Aylmer speaks to Paul Monnington, Managing Director of WPay - the payments division of Woolworths - about being the fifth largest processor of payments behind the big four banks, and the role of the business within the broader Woolworths Group.

The F. W. Woolworth Company (often referred to as Woolworth's or Woolworth) was a retail company and one of the original pioneers of the five-and-dime store. It was among the most successful American and international five-and-dime businesses, setting trends and creating the modern retail model that stores follow worldwide today. The first Woolworth store was opened by Frank Winfield Woolworth on February 22, 1879, as "Woolworth's Great Five Cent Store" in Utica, New York. Though it initially appeared to be successful, the store soon failed. When Woolworth searched for a new location, a friend suggested Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Using the sign from the Utica store, Woolworth opened his first successful "Woolworth's Great Five Cent Store" on July 18, 1879, in Lancaster. He brought his brother, Charles Sumner Woolworth, into the business. The two Woolworth brothers pioneered and developed merchandising, direct purchasing, sales, and customer service practices commonly used today. Despite its growing to be one of the largest retail chains in the world through most of the 20th century, increased competition led to its decline beginning in the 1980s, while it's sporting goods division grew. The chain went out of business in July 1997, when the company decided to focus primarily on sporting goods and renamed itself Venator Group. By 2001, the company focused exclusively on the sporting goods market, changing its name to the current Foot Locker, Inc., changing its ticker symbol from its familiar Z in 2003 to its present ticker (NYSE: FL). Retail chains using the Woolworth name survived in Austria, Germany, Mexico and the United Kingdom as of early 2009. The similarly named Woolworths supermarkets in Australia and New Zealand are operated by Australia's largest retail company, Woolworths Group, a separate company with no historical links to the F. W. Woolworth Company or Foot Locker, Inc. However, Woolworths Limited did take their name from the original company, as it had not been registered or trademarked in Australia at the time. Similarly, in South Africa, Woolworths Holdings Limited operates a Marks & Spencer-like store and uses the Woolworth name, but has never had any connection with the American company. The property development company Woolworth Group in Cyprus began life as an offshoot of the British Woolworth's company, originally operating Woolworth's department stores in Cyprus. In 2003, these stores were rebranded Debenhams, but the commercial property arm of the business retained the Woolworth's name. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/dwight-allen/message

You might have heard the whispers in the Equity Mates community... Woolworths have merged their drinks businesses - Dans, BWS - with their hospitality business - ALH - to form Endeavour Group. This was completed in February 2020 and Woolworths' intention was to pursue a separation of Endeavour Group from Woolworths Group. The resulting demerger will create two independent ASX-listed companies with Endeavour Group likely to be a top ASX50 company - with a valuation ranging anywhere between $9.3 billion and $12.5 billion. In this episode, Alec and Bryce talk everything demerger - just what does that mean, how does it work in practice, what does this mean for existing shareholders, and what does this mean for new shareholders?

WE DIVE INTO something a little different. I was interviewed for a great podcast show called the LGBTQ+ Let’s Get Behind the Questions PODCAST . I GO DEEP with hosts Nic Hennessy and Nick Christian and I’m sharing this episode with you. So who are Nick and Nic? They are the dynamic duo who host Woolworths Group's first LGBTQ+ Podcast Let's Get Behind the Questions. This podcast is released weekly and it aims to educate Allies, and gives LGBTQ+ Team Members a voice by sharing their stories and experiences.They have created a platform where they share the stories of the people at Woolworths Group - sharing their stories and experiences in order to educate, and inspire allyship.Nick Christian is a Communications Professional and Co-chair of Proud at Woolworths Group. Nick identifies as a cisgender gay man who can’t say no to a matching outfit with his dog Princey. Nic Hennessy is a Culture, Change and Talent Professional and Co-chair of Proud at Woolworths Group. Nic identifies as a cisgender bisexual woman who could probably talk under water, so naturally co-hosting a podcast is right up her ally. She was recently recognised with the 2021 Pride in Diversity AWEI Sapphire Inspire Award for LGBTQ+ Women for their contribution to workplace inclusion, visibility and support of other LGBTQ+ Women. She received this award on behalf of other queer women who have ever doubted their ability to create change & impact. Although they have very different 9-5 roles with Woolworths, what they both have in common is a passion for uplifting marginalised voices and creating a sense of connection and community with LGBTQ+ people and Allies. I was interviewed for episode 40 of their Let’s Get Behind the Questions podcast and thought I’d share it with you. Nick and Nic asked me a few questions, and I open up about : What is IVF? We discuss the history of IVF; City and Rainbow Fertility. How might twoLGBTQ+ people who can’t conceive naturally go about having a baby? Where do they even begin!? What is IUI and how is it different to IVF? In Australia, what are the options available for 2 people who identify as men in a relationship wanting to have a family, can they use IVF and if so, how does that work? What about for 2 people who identify as women in a relationship? What services are available at Rainbow Fertility to support Transgender people? Through the Houses of Hogwarts I also give advice on how to cope through fertility treatment. It really is an important and informative podcast and hope you like it as much as I do.
