Celebrating 10 years of the DC Podcast

About this episode

This episode celebrates the 10-year anniversary of the Dietitian Connection podcast, reflecting on the growth and changes in the dietitian community over the past decade.

Ten years ago, the Dietitian Connection (DC) podcast started with a simple idea and a big belief in the power of dietitians. This month we're celebrating 10 years of the DC Podcast with a very special reflective episode. Back in January 2016, DC was a community of just over 4,000 members, supported by a small group of passionate volunteers. Today, it's a global network of 57,000 dietitians, backed by a dedicated team across Australia and the US. In this anniversary episode, Maree Ferguson is joined by Kate Agnew (one of DC's early contributors), to reflect on what's changed over the past decade. From the evolution of dietetics and technology (including the rise of AI), to leadership lessons, personal growth, and building connection in a virtual world. It's a conversation about courage, community, and what's possible when you're willing to start before you have all the answers. Hosted by Maree Ferguson Click here for the shownotes.
