The podcast for farming families who want to get succession right. Putting the success in succession.Most farming families spend a lifetime building something remarkable, only to watch it come unstuck when it"s time to hand it over. Not because they didn"t work hard enough, but because nobody ever taught them how to do the handover well. The legal and financial side is the easy part. The hard part, and the part that actually makes or breaks a family legacy, is the people side: communication,

#135: The Business Can't Outperform the Family Behind...

The AgriCoach Podcast by The Financial Bloke ·

2026/10/01

Family conflict doesn’t stay at the kitchen table. It follows you into the boardroom, the paddock and every important decision the business needs to make.A farming family may look productive from the outside while resentment, avoidance or unresolved tension quietly slows decisions and limits what the business could become. The cost is not always a failed deal or a lost property. Often, it is years of lost momentum that never appears on the balance sheet.In Episode 135 of the AgriCoach Wealth &

Most farming families have thought about wills, powers of attorney and succession. Far fewer have answered the more uncomfortable question:If you carked it tomorrow, would your family actually know what to do?Not just who gets what.Who do they call? What did you want to happen? What happens with the business? Did you want the farm kept together? And what are the hundreds of smaller decisions your family will suddenly be forced to make at one of the worst possible times?In Episode 134 of the

2026/09/10

Sometimes the dads doing the most for their family are the ones who feel they’re getting it most wrong. In this Father’s Day Mini Episode, Ben gets personal about a moment with his daughter that landed harder than he expected — and the uncomfortable contradiction a lot of driven dads know well. You work flat out to provide for the people you love. You carry the responsibility. You try to give your kids every opportunity you can. Then some days you walk through the front door with almost nothing

Australia is heading into one of the biggest beef production years in its history — record tonnage leaving the gate. By every rule the market has ever run on, that wall of supply should be dragging the price down. It isn't. So what's quietly holding the floor up, and how long can it hold?That's the puzzle at the centre of Episode 133, recorded live on the ground at the 3R Beef pre-sale dinner at the historic Goonoo Goonoo Station in Tamworth.

What if the moment you've quietly dreaded for years is actually the one you've spent your whole life training for?Most farming families treat succession like a storm on the horizon — something to brace for, delay, and hope passes without taking the roof off. Ben Law sees it differently. After two decades sitting at kitchen tables across rural Australia, first as a financial adviser to some of the country's most successful farming families and now as the founder of AgriCoach, he's

Most farming families aren't avoiding the hard conversations because they don't care. They're avoiding them because there's always something more pressing — a pump to fix, a mob to shift, a season to get through first.But here's what that costs you.In this mini episode, Ben Law draws on one of the oldest lessons in grazing country to reframe something that quietly unravels even the strongest family operations.

There's a particular kind of farmer Paul Omodei can spot from across the kitchen table. Calm, clear-eyed, and somehow sleeping well at night while diesel prices spike and margins tighten. What separates them from the families quietly unravelling isn't luck, and it isn't the size of the balance sheet. It's a single mental shift Paul has watched play out again and again, sitting at the table with some of the country's highest-performing farming businesses.In this episode of

You've built something worth protecting. You've made the sacrifices, reinvested when others spent, and stayed the course when the easier path was right there. That discipline shaped everything. But what if the very thing that made your operation extraordinary is quietly becoming the thing that holds it back?In this mini episode, Ben Law opens with a moment that will feel uncomfortably familiar to anyone sitting on either side of the generational fence — a conversation that started with a

Ask most farming families when succession actually begins and you'll hear a number — fifty-eight, sixty, "once the debt's down." In Episode 129 of The AgriCoach Wealth & Wisdom Podcast, succession facilitator James Hamilton of Cultivate Advisory offers a very different answer, and it reframes almost everything families think they know about handing on the land.James isn't a consultant who parachutes in with theory.

2026/06/18

Most farming families have a good year, watch the money come in — and then quietly wonder, sometime in March, where it all went. Not because anyone was reckless. Not because anyone wasn't working hard. But because profit without a plan doesn't stay put. It gravitates toward whatever's urgent, whatever's default, whatever no one got around to deciding.In this mini episode, Ben Law — The Financial Bloke — puts a name to something that happens quietly on farms across the country:

What separates the farming families who build something that lasts from those who simply survive? If you're honest about it, the answer rarely comes down to rainfall averages or commodity prices. It comes down to the decisions made by the people running the show — and the mindset they bring to every one of them.Tim McGavin grew up off-grid in western Queensland, raised by a semi-literate father who could barely read but understood hard work, thrift, and responsibility better than most MBA
