The AgriCoach Podcast by The Financial Bloke
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, alignment, and getting the next generation ready.
That's what this podcast is about.
Your host, Ben Law, coaches some of Australia's most successful farming families. Raised on the land with three generations of farming in his blood, Ben has spent almost 30 years and more than 40,000 hours alongside farming families — first as their financial adviser, now as their coach. Along the way he learned the truth nobody talks about: lasting success isn't about the money. It's about whether the family stays strong while the business keeps growing.
Each fortnight, Ben sits down with farming families, trusted advisers and industry experts to unpack what it really takes to build a family that thrives across generations — strong in business, strong in relationships, and set up to hand over the farm without losing each other.
If you're a farming family who wants to get ahead of succession — keeping the business winning and the family together — this is your podcast.
Subscribe and join Ben each fortnight. Because a great succession isn't luck. It's preparation.
