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: The $200 Conversation You're Turning Into a $50,000 Problem
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Most farming families don’t fall apart because of one bad decision.
They fall apart because of a conversation that kept getting put off.
In this short, straight-shooting mini episode, Ben Law tackles a habit that quietly drains momentum, trust, and future options in family businesses — not through drama, but through delay. The kind that feels sensible at the time. The kind that buys comfort today and creates pain later.
If you’ve ever thought “now’s not the right time”, “we’ll deal with it after this season”, or “things are travelling okay for now” — this episode will stop you in your tracks.
It speaks to parents watching the next generation circle closer to the business… to sons and daughters wondering where they actually fit… and to families who sense a drift forming but can’t quite name it.
This isn’t about scare tactics or worst-case scenarios.
It’s about recognising the small warning signs early — while the fix is still manageable and the future still flexible.
Short. Practical. Uncomfortable in the right way.
One idea. One metaphor you won’t forget. And one quiet question that might change what you choose to address next.
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.
