What does it actually take to build a successful business in regional Australia? In this episode, we sit down with Peter Lowen, CEO of Wheatbelt Business Network, to uncover the raw and often overlooked reality of entrepreneurship outside the city limits.

We dive deep into the systemic issues threatening our regions: the "hidden" housing crisis where teachers are forced to live in caravans, the paralysing impact of payroll tax on small businesses, and the terrifying question—what happens to our food supply if the trucks stop running?
