R2Kast 372 β David Tennant on the Royal Highland Show, leadership, and shaping the future of farming
Description
Today we welcome David Tennant onto the R2Kast! ποΈ David is the Head of the Royal Highland Show, and his journey is a brilliant example of how someone not from a farming background can come to lead one of the most iconic events in agriculture. π¦πͺ
We hear how David first encountered the Highland Show and the impact it had on him, before stepping into the role where he now oversees everything from livestock lines to innovation halls. He talks openly about the challenges of delivering a world-class event and how the Show continues to balance its proud traditions with the demands of a modern audience. ππ
David speaks with me about the international influence of the Highland, welcoming visitors from across the globe, and why it is far more than just four days in June. For him it is about Scottish identity, connection, and showcasing farming and food at their very best. ππ¬
We also dive into his vision for the future β embracing sustainability, technology, and ensuring the next generation of young people see the Show as their stage to shine. His reflections on leadership, community, and the responsibility of carrying an event with more than two centuries of history are inspiring and full of honesty. β¨
A fascinating insight into the man leading Scotlandβs greatest agricultural celebration.
Enjoy! π
