The AgriCoach Podcast by The Financial Bloke
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, 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.

MINI: What Strong Leaders Do Differently When Things Get Tough
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
There’s a quiet habit that separates families who stay sharp across generations from those who slowly lose their edge… and it has nothing to do with markets, rainfall, or land values.
In this straight-shooting mini episode, Ben Law shares a lesson handed to him decades ago by a highly successful operator — a lesson that sounded almost too simple to matter, yet has shaped how he works with some of Australia’s most driven farming families today. It challenges the way we handle pressure, the conversations we tolerate around the kitchen table, and the standards we quietly accept in ourselves.
What happens when complaining feels justified… but comes at a hidden cost? Why do some families face the same setbacks as everyone else yet keep moving forward with clarity and direction? And how does the voice in your own head influence the way you lead your family, business, and future?
This episode is a sharp reminder that long-term success isn’t just built on strategy, scale, or hard work. It’s built on standards — especially the ones nobody sees. If you’re serious about building a family enterprise that holds strong through tough seasons, this conversation will challenge how you show up when things don’t go to plan.
If this podcast has ever added value to your farming business, we'd love for you to leave us a rating and review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.
