About the Founder: Chris Warrick

Chris’ entrepreneurial journey began early – registering for an ABN at just 15 to trade sheep and grow crops on his family farm near Horsham, Victoria. After completing his Bachelor of Business at Marcus Oldham College, Chris diversified his industry experience through employment in Toowoomba, Wagga Wagga and Geelong, before returning to his hometown to build a business with his wife, Brooke.

Today, Chris travels across Australia, helping people make informed decisions through expert facilitation, training, and research, development, and extension (RD&E). With over 250 workshops and events delivered to more than 7,600 participants, he brings a wealth of experience in delivering information in engaging and impactful ways.
