Rowena Leslie’s great-grandfather was a gold prospector. Mining, she says, is in her blood.

It makes sense, then, that she and her sister founded successful mining business, Kai Rho Contracting.

This week Rowena speaks to Next Generation Innovators @aliciasteviestephenson about its advent, and how they keep it “local, Aboriginal and experienced”.

New episodes will be in your feed on Thursdays - subscribe now so you never miss one.
