00:00 What brought you back to Ballarat?

00:11 Well, ultimately what my wife did.

00:15 But in reality, it's connection.

00:18 When you're travelling everywhere you can't find a place, you can't find your community.

00:25 So to come back and regroup with not just family but with friends and the community

00:32 and clubs and organisations, it feels a bit more like belonging.

00:38 We talked a little bit about Rotary Young Ambition.

00:42 Why is it important to you to be a part of that community?

00:46 That's funny because those kind of people, and one of them now work for me, they become

00:50 your closest friends and it's not people that you still have contact with every day,

00:56 but it's meaningful long-term connections that will last the rest of my life.

01:04 And I think they're the most important ones.

01:06 If you look to the future of Ballarat in 10 years, what are your hopes for our city?

01:11 I'm hoping, well I know there's a lot of young leaders that are taking big steps and big

01:17 risks here, so I'm hoping that with the new leadership generation that has taken form

01:23 here that a lot of younger people will stay here because they're being led by great young

01:30 people.

01:31 And, you know, they'll take over a lot of these businesses in the next 10 years and

01:35 they'll be the next generation of leaders.

01:36 Thank you.
