Over recent months there has been plenty of talk about the role AI can play in helping analyse information, so we thought we’d put it to the test with this weeks podcast episode and ask for the three key points and some supporting quotes.

We’ll share our take on it at the bottom.

Sallie Jones, founder of Gippsland Jersey, a dairy company based in Gippsland, Australia, has been through a lot of life-altering experiences. Her father's suicide was one of the most significant moments of her life, and it inspired her to create something positive, which led to the founding of Gippsland Jersey.

In an interview with Oli Le Lievre, Jones shared her journey, how she dealt with the grief, and what drove her to create a successful business.

The first key theme of Jones's story is how she dealt with the grief of her father's suicide. She talked about how it affected her and her community, at a time where multiple factors resulted in other people to take their lives.

She also mentioned how talking about it helped her move on and that there is no shame in her father's death.

She felt released when a pastor told her that her father's death was an illness and not something to be ashamed of.

Jones believes that creating Gippsland Jersey and focusing on something positive has been healing for her and has saved her thousands of dollars in therapy.

The second key theme is the impact her father had on her life and how his legacy inspired her to create Gippsland Jersey. Jones's father was a pioneer in the dairy industry, and he decided to value add to the milk he was producing on their dairy farm in Lakes Entrance.

This decision had a ripple effect on Jones's life and inspired her to create change within the dairy industry. Her passion for creating change comes from her father's desire to be paid a fair price for his milk.

The third key theme is the power of creating something positive out of tragedy. Jones knew that there had to be some good that came out of her father's death and that not talking about it would be like ignoring the elephant in the room. She focused on her "why" and created a successful dairy company that has had a positive impact on the dairy industry and her community.

Key Quotes:

1. "Not talking about something sometimes is like the elephant in the room."

2. "There's no shame in my dad's death."

3. "Dad was such a pioneer in the dairy industry."

4. "I'm grateful for the experiences of going through that process."

5. "My passion and my desire in terms of wanting to create change within dairy probably comes from my dad."

6. "Creating Gippsland Jersey and funneling that energy into creating something positive has been so healing for me."

In conclusion, Sallie Jones's story is one of resilience, inspiration, and hope. She turned a tragic event into something positive and has created a successful business that has had a positive impact on her community and the dairy industry.

Her journey teaches us that it is possible to overcome grief and that creating something positive out of tragedy is a powerful way to heal. Sallie’s story reminds us that there is always hope, even in the darkest of times.

*We used Chat GPT to support us in creating this summary of this weeks podcast episode.

Oli: Can ChatGPT replicate storytelling?

GPT: As an AI language model, I can generate text that resembles storytelling, but it's important to note that my storytelling may not have the same emotional depth or creative insight as a human storyteller. While I can generate language that follows a particular structure or narrative arc, I do not have the same level of creativity or empathy as a human storyteller, nor can I generate unique and original stories on my own without being prompted by specific inputs or prompts. However, I can be a helpful tool for generating ideas and providing inspiration for human storytellers.

Our Takeaway

There is definitely a role that AI can play in helping to decipher information, however as we read this article it looks like old style journalism and doesn’t allow us to convey the type or tone of voice that we feel comes naturally to us….

Maybe that’s because we write like we talk, (just with a few less umms), but we did find it super useful in quickly analysing the info from the podcast.

So what’s next - we think it has a role but

Human Connection & voice - and those real conversations is why we’re here.
