Edwina Robertson
Today's guest is Aussie Country girl Edwina Robertson.
On her About Page, she starts off with.. "
HI, I’M EDDY. YOU CAN CALL ME EDWINA, IF YOU MUST. BUT BY THE TIME YOUR WEDDING COMES, WE’LL BE LIKE SISTERS… OR AT LEAST GOOD FRIENDS."
Eddy is a country girl who was born and bred on a property in northern New South Wales. She was raised on fresh air, horses, homemade biscuits and good country values.
Since then she ventured into the working world, she says, never fearing failure, just excited about new opportunities.
A few years ago, Eddy decided to share one of her wedding photos on her Facebook page with a promise to donate $3 for every share the post received.
The post took on a life of it's own.
And by the deadline she set, the post had received 4,974 shares.
She had to come up with $15,000.
Now, she has cooked up brand new scheme or project. I'm looking forward to talking all about that plus what she's been doing in the past.
Eddy, Welcome to the Podcast..
