You're in Charge

Learn to Say Yes, Then Learn to Say No

The family farm couldn't continue, and Casey Treloar knew there was a story to tell. Her dad wasn't ready to share it, so she asked if she could, filmed a live video in the paddock, and woke up to hundreds of thousands of views. Casey on vulnerability, advocacy, and what it gave her dad. Full episode of You're In Charge out now.

When the Family Farm Couldn't Continue

The most expensive opportunity is the one you never took.

That's how Casey Treloar thinks about risk, and it has shaped her whole career. Casey reports for Seven News Adelaide, runs a livestock business on the side, and says cows literally created her career in media.

When her family's dairy farm couldn't continue, Casey asked her parents if she could tell their story. Then she filmed a live video in the paddock, surrounded by the cows. By the next morning it had hundreds of thousands of views. Her lesson: we can never be afraid of vulnerability, because that's what people connect to, and that's what makes them listen.

She's honest that there's a lot of hardship in agriculture. She's just as clear that there's a lot of beauty in it too, even in the moments that can be gruesome.

So she's learned to say yes. Learning to become a yes man, and to accept the opportunities that come along the way, means you never settle for second best.

In the final episode of Season 2, Casey sits down with Sav Perera to share the full story, from the farm to the newsroom.

The Most Expensive Opportunity Is the One You Never Took

Casey Treloar reports for Seven News Adelaide by day, and breeds and shows dairy cattle in her spare time. In this final episode of Season 2, she sits down with Sav Perera to talk about how cows created her media career.

Casey shares how a quirky Celebrity Milk Off at the Royal Adelaide Show led to work experience, then a job, at Channel 7. She explains why she believes we only put up our own barriers, and how she's pushed through in two male dominated industries.

She also opens up about the moment her family's farm couldn't continue, the live video she filmed in the paddock, and what it taught her about vulnerability. From handling online negativity to finding beauty in the hard moments of farming, Casey is honest about all of it.

Sav and Casey dig into risk, saying yes to opportunity, and the lesson of learning to say no. Casey also shares what she wants to master this year, including how to tell the story of a red cow named Ruffles.
