Events Extraordinaire, Mountaineer, Plane Crash Survivor and all-round Incredible Human - This is Esther Price

Humans of Agriculture

We won't be able to give Esther Price justice in these show notes, but if you have ever been in the room with her then you know just how ExtraOrdinary she is. The influence she has on people around her is incredible, particularly when she is on stage, she really is absolutely captivating.

Esther calls Western Australia (WA) home and always has. She is about to become a Grandmother and is more physically fit than ever.

"I've had the privilege of work and a love for adventure taking me all over the place, but always return home to WA."

Esther started her career in livestock journalism before she was even 18 years old, at a time well before social media where people really wanted to have a journalist in their life, because it was their only way of getting their voice heard if they needed to.

"I would take down my P Plates down as I drove into work because I didn't want people to know how young I was."

The connections Esther made in this role that gave her the kick-start into soon managing National agricultural conferences and starting her own business. She had the tenacity, people skills, foresight and brains to know there was as a huge gap in the industry at the time for events, marketing and PR, and so she capitalised on it.

Fast forward to now, and Esther is still a powerhouse in the industry, but she has also developed a love for hiking, adventuring and mountaineering. She has tackled some of the greatest climbs in the world and there's not much that deters her - not even a crash in a 12-seater plane the day before embarking up a mountain in Uganda.

This is the incredible Esther Price.
