Breaking down barriers with the Unbreakable Farmer, Warren Davies
Episode description
Meet Warren Davies.
His family chose farming in Kyabram after a life of owning milk bars, butchers and post offices in Melbourne - and Warren couldn't have been happier to live life in the country as a 15 year old. But even though he escaped the problems he was facing in the city, he quickly realised that the vision he had for farm life was slipping away from him.
This week we hear the stories of the Unbreakable Farmer - what were the moments that brought him to his tipping point? How did he push through to become the motivational speaker he is today? It's been a journey to find his voice, but by working through his challenges and expressing them to others he hopes to create an environment where mental health is discussed openly.

- Growing up in Melbourne
- Moving to Kyabram at 15 years old
- Owning his own farm at the age of 22
- His different career paths in the agriculture space
- Deciding to walk away from his farm and the mental repercussions
