Life, Luck and Lessons Learned is a poignant and humorous tale starting against the backdrop of rural New Zealand, where familial rivalries and cultural dynamics shape destinies. When a determined father buys a farm in the heart of Northland, little does he know where that will lead.

In time the son becomes disillusioned with life on the farm and in 1965 he leaves the family farm to gain experience in international meat trading. He goes to work first in Liverpool, and then in London. In 1970 he emigrates to Montreal, Canada, where he becomes familiar with the intricacies of the North American meat trade. Those experiences lead to the establishment of his own meat trading company in Sydney in 1971. Eventually his company becomes one of the largest meat exporters in Australia.
