R2Kast 361 β Mairi Gougeon on politics, purpose, and rural powerhouses
Description
Today we welcome Mairi Gougeon to the R2Kast! ποΈ
From local politics in Brechin to becoming Cabinet Secretary for Rural Affairs, Land Reform and Islands, Mairiβs journey has been anything but typical! Starting out straight from uni into council work (accidentally elected! π), her political roots go deep β her first campaign stint was at just 14 years old! πͺ
We chat about that surreal moment of walking into Holyrood, why representation matters, and how her belief in independence and community empowerment drives her work. Mairi brings honesty, humour, and a real human touch to a world thatβs often seen as distant and complex. π©ββοΈπΎ
Politicsβ¦ but with coffee, cake and craic on a sunny day in Arran. You canβt say fairer than that! βοΈβ
Enjoy! π
