#94: From Uncertainty to Unstoppable: How the Conaghan Family Mastered Communication, Collaboration & Succession with Lynise Conaghan - Barmount Feedlot
Most farming families struggle with succession. Some avoid the hard conversations, others get bogged down in conflict, and too many leave it too late. But the Conaghan family? They’ve turned the challenge into an opportunity—and they’re thriving.
In this episode, Lynise Conaghan of Barmount Station joins me to share how her family successfully navigated massive transitions, including transitioning out of a business partnership, bringing the next generation into the operation, and expanding into new ventures—all while keeping their relationships strong.
We dive into:
- The mindset shift that transformed their family’s approach to business and succession.
- Why clear roles, open communication, and structured family meetings have been game-changers.
- How their son Andrew took a side project—feedlot software—and turned it into a thriving national business.
- The one thing that nearly every farming family gets wrong about bringing the next generation in (and how to avoid it).
- What the Conaghan family did to ensure their farm, feedlot, and legacy will stand strong for generations to come.
If you want your family to avoid the three-generation curse and create a High Performing Family, this episode is packed with lessons you can start applying today.
🎧 Listen now—and if you find value in this, share it with another farming family who needs to hear it!
