In this episode, we get straight to the heart of what truly drives profit in family agribusinesses, with insights from Kate Burke of Think Agri. As a seasoned farm consultant with a PhD in agronomy and a background in managing one of Australia's largest grain producers, Kate knows a thing or two about making farms profitable. She joins us to share her expertise and challenge some common misconceptions.
Kate kicks off by sharing a bit about her impressive background, setting the stage for a discussion that will have you rethinking what you know about agricultural profitability. When we first discussed this podcast, Kate made a bold claim: factors like rainfall, farm size, and commodity prices are not the biggest determinants of agribusiness success. With the recent tough times—drought, falling livestock prices, rising input costs, and interest rates—many might find this hard to believe. So, what are the real profit drivers? Kate reveals the key factors that can make or break a farm business.
Furthermore, she highlights the significant range in farm profit performance across the industry and suggests that many families have the potential to double their returns. What are most families missing in their recipe for success? Tune in to find out the crucial elements that can transform your agribusiness and ensure long-term prosperity for future generations.

Kacie, the family’s communication guru, opens up about the challenges they’ve faced in maintaining trust and effective communication, sharing how they navigated rocky times and ultimately strengthened their bond.

In the first instalment of this High Performing Families series, we chat with Nikko and Jade Lord, the younger generation of the Lord Family, who embody the traits that set successful families apart.

Jade provides insight into how they are already preparing their young children to be valuable members of the family and business, ensuring the legacy of prosperity continues. Lastly, we offer advice to young individuals in less prosperous family businesses on how to foster communication and drive their own success.

Hayley identifies common signs of a negative money mindset and offers strategies to develop a healthier relationship with money, emphasising gratitude, curiosity, and education.
We also dive into the issue of wealth guilt and how to resolve it by aligning beliefs with the positive impact of wealth. Join us as we explore the powerful connection between mindset and financial success and learn how to transform your financial reality.-----------------------

On today’s Wealth & Wisdom podcast, we’re unravelling the complexities of economics and finance. With esteemed economist, Saul Eslake, we pull back the curtain on the world of inflation and interest rates. With over four decades of experience in Australian financial markets, Saul's insights are invaluable.
Saul gives us the lowdown on what’s really happening within the Aussie economy compared to global standards. And with the majority of us feeling the pinch from rising costs, Saul breaks inflation down into simple terms, explaining why we're so far from 'normal' and shedding light on the alarming concept of a ‘per capita recession’.
We also put interest rates under the microscope. As such a crucial factor, especially rural producers with their sensitivity to rate changes, Saul offers his expert opinion on where we stand in the cycle and whether we can expect any relief soon.
Tune in with Ben and Saul for a stimulating discussion about the current economic landscape.-----------------------

Notice anything different?....
The Financial Bloke Podcast has had a small facelift and is now called The AgriCoach Podcast! Everything else remains the same, the new name is just more aligned to what we do 🤩
And so, back to business...
In this episode of the Wealth & Wisdom podcast, we embark on a journey into the realm of animal biotechnology, a field poised to revolutionise livestock production as we know it. Picture this: bulls siring calves with no genetic resemblance to themselves. Sounds like science fiction, right? But it’s happening, and it's just the tip of the iceberg.
I had the pleasure of sitting down with Professor Alison Van Eenennaam, a leading figure in animal genomics and biotechnology. From discussing the essence of animal biotechnology to unravelling mind-boggling projects like "switching an animal’s balls", our conversation is nothing short of eye-opening.
So, what exactly is animal biotechnology, and what does it entail? Alison breaks it down for us, shedding light on the groundbreaking work researchers like herself are undertaking. But it doesn't stop there. We delve into the most captivating projects on Alison's radar, from male calves in the dairy industry to the removal of the horned gene, and the potential ethical and regulatory implications.
This episode is a testament to the boundless possibilities of biotechnology and the individuals driving its transformative power. So, buckle up and prepare to journey into the future of livestock production like never before.
