Tim and Cree are big believers in learning on-the-job. When the couple purchased a 40-hectare property with no idea about farm life, YouTube helped them learn everything from building the chicken coop, to growing crops, to rearing animals. Only a few years later, they launched their own paddock-to-plate learning experience, One Table Farm. The regenerative farm is now a hub of sustainable agriculture education and practical skill development for locals and tourists. But they’re still students too, using YouTube tutorials to build their business and learn new skills every day.
Initially it was a very steep learning curve. YouTube is a wonderful thing… You can learn a lot on anything you want actually; how to fence, how to build anything.
After realising food creates and inspires shared experiences across cultures, English teacher Emma Jakobi started filming videos of herself cooking or eating out. She hoped to create relatable, entertaining experiences for her classroom students in Vietnam, helping them to learn English by connecting through food. After seeing the rapid development of her students’ English language skills, Emma continued to grow her YouTube channel, mmmEnglish. Through her channel, she inspires confidence by teaching everyday English skills and is having an impact on lives around the world. The success of mmmEnglish was also the launchpad for her own business “Hey Lady!”, an online community for women to meet, become confident and build fluency in English.
