What would you do if you won a bus? With Tim Gentle

What would you do if you want a bus? 
Well, in 25 words or less, that is something our next guest had to answer. 

And to be honest, as he starts to talk about and open up in this chat, it really did change his life. I first came across Tim Gentle when I was studying down at Marcus Oldham. 

He turned up with these virtual reality headsets, what he was trying to do was really take people on farm from wherever they were, it was pretty new technology, and it was bloody mind blowing what he'd done. 

Over the years I got to know Tim, I knew what he was doing in the education space, however, I knew nothing about his story.

Behind the scenes and grew up in Melbourne, had a dad as a dairy farmer, had spent a bit of time on a cattle station in Oodnadatta, and had a love of technology building his first websites which is where he had his first busneess.

In this chat Tim talks about:

• The ride of the first business
• His bankruptcy due to a business deal that had gone wrong
• With zero dollars in his account, his family home needed to be sold and it was the end of his first marriage.
• As Tim says, the bus literally changed his life. Today alongside his wife and CEO, Kat, they really are shaping a narrative and helping educate people right across Australia as to what actually happens inside the farm gate and right through the supply chain.
