Podcast Trailer - This Is Who We Are

What if the moment you've quietly dreaded for years is actually the one you've spent your whole life training for? Most farming families treat succession like a storm on the horizon — something to brace for, delay, and hope passes without taking the roof off. Ben Law sees it differently. After two decades sitting at kitchen tables across rural Australia, first as a financial adviser to some of the country's most successful farming families and now as the founder of AgriCoach, he's watched the same quiet pattern play out again and again: families who love each other, want the best for each other, and still end up divided. Not because anyone stopped caring. Because good intentions were never the same thing as a plan. This is the episode that explains what AgriCoach is really about. Ben lays out why the families who navigate succession well didn't get lucky — and what they understood that everyone else missed. He shares the turning point that made him walk away from a thriving advice business, and the uncomfortable realisation about wealth that changed how he works with families entirely. If your farm is running well, the family's still together, and Christmas still happens — is that proof things are fine, or the very thing keeping you from asking a harder question? For proactive farming families, rural entrepreneurs, and anyone building something worth passing on, this is the conversation that reframes succession from an ending into the ultimate test of everything you've built. There's a version of your family five years from now that looks very different depending on one decision you make today. Ben explains what that decision is — and why the best time to make it has almost nothing to do with your balance sheet. Press play, and find out which family you want to be.

He was raised on the land — three generations of farming in his blood — and has spent almost 30 years and more than 40,000 hours alongside farming families, first as their financial adviser and now as their coach. Along the way he learned the truth nobody talks about: what makes or breaks a family legacy isn't the money — it's whether the family can communicate, get aligned, and prepare the next generation before succession arrives. That's what this podcast is about. Each fortnight Ben sits down with farming families, trusted advisers and industry experts to unpack how 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. *Disclaimer: The information contained in this podcast is general in nature and for education purposes only.
