Western Australia built its prosperity on what lies beneath the ground; the next chapter will be built on what lies within its people. This member-led conversation asks what it takes to build that human resource deliberately: how families grow agency and capacity in the next generation, so that wealth arrives as possibility rather than weight. It explores why belonging and purpose turn inheritors into authors, and how a rising generation given real agency early becomes Western Australia's surest investment in its own future.
Jeremy Walker is a former broadacre farmer and emerging advisor with a passion for family enterprise and legacy.
With over 18 years in Australian agriculture, including more than a decade leading a 6,000-acre mixed farming enterprise in Western Australia, Jeremy made the difficult decision to step away from the business. That experience reshaped his understanding of success, legacy and what it truly means to prepare the next generation—not simply to inherit wealth, but to develop the agency, purpose and capacity to steward it well.
Today, Jeremy is studying counselling and psychotherapy while investing in and supporting purpose-driven ventures. His work explores the intersection of family enterprise, leadership, legacy and human flourishing, drawing on both lived experience and ongoing study.
Jeremy believes the greatest inheritance we can leave is not simply wealth or assets, but people with the agency, character and capacity to steward them well.
