• What's a club? I could be many things, but how I would describe this club is as a place for those who are lifetime learners. For the people whose brains are never idle, those who are always looking for ways to improve, and who like learning from each other. And we have plenty of good operators to learn from. To sign up, you get 30 days free, and I can guarantee that you will work out whether you like it or not in the first week. Subscribe to see what's on the other side.

• What a formidable lady. We have gun Shearer Nikki Lyon as our latest podcast guest, which is live on the paid version of the newsletter. We will have a preview out by Monday. She recently set a record for doing 502 unmulesed Merino Lambs in a 9-hour period. These gun Shearers are next level, and you will be blown away by the preparation and the detail that goes into it. This is well worth the entry fee alone. Subscribe and you will be inspired.

• Could there be Shearing at the Brisbane Olympics? Nikki has an interesting answer to this question.

• Tassie is an Agriculture state that is punching well above its weight, and that' why respected organisations like Riordans are willing to invest down there. They just bought XLD commodities to expand their footprint there. We write about the virtues of investing in Tassie Ag in a story today.

• It's like being in Ag - The creator world is going nuts in the US. People are starting their own newsletter or podcast on mass, and it's having an effect on traditional media. That wave has yet to hit Australia. If you are interested in starting your own newsletter or podcast, get stuck into it as a side hustle, and when the wave hits in a few years' time, you will be established. This new creator world, where you get to be your own boss, is like being in Ag; it's one of those things that grows slowly over time, incrementally. You have to put in the hard yards. All I can say is if you are interested in this sort of stuff, don't hold back. And you don't even have to be good - Look at me….

• Have a great Saturday and start every day with a laugh, and be fully informed.
