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: That's Not The Point, Ben
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
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 Landcruiser and a bull bar, and ended somewhere most farming families never quite manage to go.
Ben unpacks why the transition from one generation to the next so often stalls not because of money, not because of succession plans, and not because of bad intentions — but because of something far more human and far more fixable. He speaks directly and plainly to both generations: the one holding the keys and the one waiting for them.
What does it actually look like when a family gets this right? What happens in the room when the person with the most power chooses curiosity over certainty? And what is the one thing each generation can do this week — not next year, not at the next family meeting — to start shifting the dynamic right now?
This episode won't take long to listen to. But it might be the conversation your family has been circling for years.
