Most farming families don't fail because they can't run a business.They fail because the family part was never properly prepared.Not long ago, the idea of having a coach in agriculture sounded odd — even unnecessary. Today, some of the most switched-on, asset-rich families in the country are quietly asking a different question: who's actually helping us stay aligned as a family while everything else gets bigger, faster, and more complex?This mini episode challenges the assumption that coaching is about productivity hacks or running harder each day. If you've ever wondered whether things are truly aligned beneath the surface — or what the cost might be of leaving the hardest conversations untouched — this short episode will make you pause, reflect, and possibly start a conversation your family has been postponing for years.-----------------------Ben spent over 20 years working with successful business owners and farming families which allowed him to unearth the timeless principles on how to successfully grow, protect and maintain wealth.If you want to learn the principles of how to grow your family's wealth throughout the generations, then you might consider joining The AgriCoach Podcast each fortnight for more Wealth & Wisdom.Disclaimer: The information contained in this podcast is general in nature and for education purposes only.

As the global pharmaceutical industry enters a period of profound transition, this episode of Corner Office Conversation examines what lies ahead. Hosts Vikas Dandekar and Teena Thacker talk to Stefan Oelrich, Head of the Pharmaceuticals Division at Bayer AG, about the forces reshaping drug discovery and access from trade tensions and shifting innovation hubs to the promise and uncertainty of cell and gene therapies. Oelrich reflects on Europe’s struggle to stay competitive as capital and talent flow increasingly toward the US and China, and argues that meaningful reform will require faster regulation, leaner bureaucracy, and quicker patient access. He also addresses the looming loss of exclusivity for blockbuster drugs and outlines how Bayer plans to offset revenue impact with a packed pipeline of new launches. India emerges as both an opportunity and a test case, offering scale and growth while raising tough questions on affordability and access. At its core, the conversation asks whether breakthrough science can move fast enough to serve patients without losing public trust.You can follow Vikas Dandekar on his social media: X and Linkedin and read his Newspaper Articles.You can follow Teena Thacker on his social media: X and Linkedin and read her Newspaper Articles.Listen to Corner Office Conversation: Corner Office Conversation with Knight Frank’s William Beardmore-Gray and Shishir Baijal, Corner Office Conversation with Sridhar Vembu, CEO, of Zoho Corporation, Corner Office Conversation with Gunjan Soni, Country Managing Director, Youtube India, Corner Office Conversation with Elizabeth Reid, Head of Search, Google and much more.

Most families wait until something breaks to start succession conversations. High-performing families don't.In this powerful conversation, Ben sits down with succession planner Tim Lane of Proagtive to unpack a truth most farming families quietly suspect: the ones who thrive across generations aren't the biggest or wealthiest — they're simply the ones who start early and keep talking.Tim lifts the curtain on what he's seen after decades around kitchen tables across Australia — the families who glide through transition, the ones who hit turbulence, and the tiny mindset shifts that separate the two. You'll hear how “success planning” (not “succession planning”) helps families think long-term, lower pressure, and build clarity bit by bit, years before any assets change hands.Ben and Tim get real about the fears parents carry, the untapped drive of the next generation, the dangers of assumptions, and how early conversations create confidence, creativity and unity. You'll also discover why starting 5–15 years ahead isn't “too early” — it's the single greatest advantage a family can give itself.If you're a parent wanting to prepare well, or a next-gen ag leader wondering how to step up without stepping on toes, this episode offers the roadmap — practical, calm, grounded and completely aligned with what high-performing farming families do differently.--------------------------------------------------------If you're the kind of family that leads from the front, not waits for a crisis, the 2026 Roadmap Workshops are for you.
