Overcoming Resistance in Farm Transition Planning #farming #farmlife #farmsuccession #farmtransitionplanning  Transitioning the family farm is one of the most emotional and complex challenges farm families face. It's not just about numbers or paperwork — it's about people, relationships, and navigating the tough conversations that come with change.

Drawing on his extensive experience working with farm families across Canada, Trevor unpacks the emotional resistance, family tensions, and questions of fairness that often arise during transition and shares practical strategies for building understanding, trust, and forward momentum. Whether you're at the start of your transition journey or already in the thick of it, this conversation offers grounded insights to help your family approach farm transition with more clarity and confidence.

What if the real reason family conflict keeps repeating isn't about money, land, or even succession — but the unseen stories we've been carrying for generations?In this powerful conversation, Ben Law sits down with Lael Stone — educator, counsellor, author, and co-founder of Woodline Primary School — to unpack how unexamined imprints from our past quietly shape how we parent, lead, and communicate.From unspoken family expectations to generational beliefs about work, money, and self-worth, Lael shows how we can rewrite the stories that keep us stuck — so we don't hand them down to our kids.They dive into what “owning your story” really means, why forgiveness and grace are essential to healing old wounds, and how emotionally intelligent families break free from the patterns that sabotage trust and unity.If you've ever thought, “I sound just like my parents,” or wondered why the same family issues keep resurfacing, this is an episode you'll want every generation to hear.KEY THEMESThe invisible imprints we inherit from our family of originWhy awareness, not blame, is the key to breaking patternsHow to deal with conflict constructively — without blowing up or shutting downThe role of grace and forgiveness in family healingHow your personal growth impacts the next generation-----------------------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.

In this week's episode, Tracy speaks with Darin Nooren about one of the most challenging and emotional topics facing farm families — how to achieve fair and equal in farm transition planning. Darin shares his expertise on strategies to balance the needs of farming and non-farming children. Darin explains how life insurance is one solution that can satisfy everyone's needs — providing retirement income for farm founders, ensuring the farming child or children can continue operating a whole and intact farm, and offering financial fairness for off-farm siblings. Most importantly, it can help keep the family farm in the family for generations to come. And let's be honest — insurance ranks right up there with “let's not talk about it” subjects like wills, death, and transition planning at large. But this is an important episode that shines a light on one powerful tool that can help farm families finally achieve fair and equal while keeping the farm intact.

Coming from a non-traditional ag background, Sarah shares how her Los Angeles roots and 15+ years in marketing have shaped her approach to agricultural storytelling, branding, and leadership. Together, Mark and Sarah unpack what it means to lead and market with clarity, care, and urgency — and why intentionality matters just as much in business strategy as it does in communication.Key Takeaways:Clarity is the Catalyst for ImpactSarah's “slider” model — balancing clarity, care, and urgency — shows how great leadership and marketing both depend on clear thinking and focused direction. Without clarity, even the best ideas lose momentum.Humanity in Leadership and MessagingBeing a “deeply flawed, intentional human” is one of Sarah's key leadership beliefs. Bringing empathy and authenticity into leadership and branding builds connection, trust, and sustainable growth.Bridging the Gaps in AgricultureAs an outsider turned advocate for the ag industry, Sarah reveals how misunderstood agriculture is by the average consumer. Her work at Noble West focuses on connecting the value chain — from farmers to consumers — through better storytelling and education.The Power of the ‘Why'Most companies know what they do and how they do it — but few can clearly articulate why they do it. Sarah explains how defining your “why” becomes your competitive edge and the key to meaningful differentiation in both B2C and B2B markets.Intentional Communication and Repetition MatterLike leaders who repeat their vision until it sticks, brands must communicate consistently. Clarity isn't a one-time exercise — it's the result of repetition, alignment, and doing the reps until everyone on the team can clearly articulate the same message.Notable Quotes:“Intentionality is nothing if it's not having impact or getting it done.” – Sarah Tjoa“Leaders can't clarify enough — clarity is one of our greatest responsibilities.” – Sarah Tjoa“Most brands know what they do, but few know why they do it — and the margins are always in the why.” – Sarah Tjoa“As leaders, we have to be deeply flawed, intentional humans.” – Sarah Tjoa“When you build clarity and repeat it until everyone owns it, that's when organizations move with purpose.” – Mark JewellAction Steps:Audit your team's clarity: Does everyone know your company's why and where you're headed?Revisit your messaging: Can you describe what you do — and why it matters — in 20 seconds or less?Reflect on your own “slider”: Where do you need to dial up clarity, care, or urgency this week?Read Radical Candor by Kim Scott — Sarah's top book recommendation for every leader seeking to communicate with both honesty and empathy.Listen If You Are:A leader or marketer navigating change in agriculture or ag techSomeone seeking to clarify your brand's message or company missionA professional balancing creativity, leadership, and communicationPassionate about bridging the gap between farm, food, and consumer
