Hello again, thanks for tuning in to Destination Boarding. Today, I sat down with Angie Nisbet from Married to the Land podcast. Let me tell you, this episode is a ripper. I’ve just returned from our final boarding schools expo in Mount Isa, where we were overwhelmed with the number of families that came through the door. It’s only our second event in Mount Isa and our experience shows us that it takes time to build a following.
Wow. Mount Isa, Cloncurry and families of the Northwest region of Queensland. You were awesome. What a great event to finish the year on. On the day, we hosted a live Q&A panel, which was facilitated by Angie and she really is a gifted interviewer with such a warmth and authenticity about her that people are instantly comfortable in her presence. Angie and I have been connected for just over 12 months now, but this was actually the first time we’d met in person and gosh, I love spending some time with her, short as it was.
Look, the fact that she said, hell yes, when I came up with the last minute idea to host a panel discussion, only cemented my regard for her. I love a hell yes woman, and Angie is certainly one of those. Though, not without consideration of whether our values and direction align, and that they do.
Angie headed over from her home just south of Hughenden and met a few of the panellists the night before. then straight into it at our event the following morning. It’s not an easy gig dealing with other people’s nerves and ensuring your interviewee feels at ease, that your questions are relevant to the listener, and then engaging a live audience. Honestly, Angie was a star. The sharing of information from the panellists to those families that came along was generous and heartfelt.
I wish I’d heard it. But as these events go, I was flat chat welcoming people through the door. So here we are, a great wrap up conversation with Angie herself about the conversations and about our guest panellists.
This conversation, this podcast will really appeal to families currently on their road through boarding school years and those that are about to begin, all looking towards their decisions. Enjoy.
