This episode is about a man who had a entrepreneurial seizure.

David Heinjus.

What was a one-man-show in agribusiness consulting, now is the Chairperson of a multi-national company called Pinion Advisory. A leading-edge national agribusiness, water and environment consulting firm with tentacles reaching across Australia and into America.It all started in South Australia's Clare Valley.

Before Pinion, Dave Heinjus founded Rural Directions in 1997 in the Clare Valley. One of the first agribusiness consultancies in the state. It started with just him and now he manages over 100 people on his team.
After 23 years, he led the merger integrating Rural Directions with three other Australian companies to form Pinion. In this podcast, you'll hear his journey from his early days working as a contractor with the Department of Ag, branching into self-employment with Rural Directions, the late nights, the ongoing study, balancing all that with a young family to then chairing a global company. But let's start with Dave's early days, growing up on the family farm on the western edge of the Barossa near Freeling, a farm that he still manages today.
Enjoy the journey with Dave Heinjus, a journey he reflects back on and can't believe he is where he is today.
