What if the government’s proposed superannuation tax changes weren’t just targeting the ultra-wealthy, but could one day hit everyday farming families?

In this episode, Ben Law — The Financial Bloke — is joined again by leading agribusiness lawyer Kylie Wilson to cut through the political spin and lay out what these changes really mean for families on the land.

From the extra 15% tax on balances over $3 million, to the lack of indexation, and the controversial tax on unrealised gains — this conversation gets to the heart of how the rules could reshape retirement planning, succession, and the future of family farms.

You’ll hear why “don’t panic, but get advice” is the message for now, why off-farm assets are still the ultimate superpower in succession, and how failing to plan early could force families into selling the farm when it matters most.

If you’ve ever wondered how these changes could affect your super, your succession, or your kids’ ability to take over the farm, this episode is one you can’t afford to miss.

What if the biggest risk you’ll ever take isn’t failing — but hesitating?

In this short, sharp mini episode, Ben Law unpacks the single piece of advice he’s heard most from the wisest minds he’s interviewed: back yourself.

Drawing on years of conversations and his own journey, Ben reveals why waiting until you “feel ready” is a trap, why action beats hesitation every time, and how regret creeps in when you let opportunities pass by.

Whether you’re leading a family farm, growing a business, or trying to make bolder moves in life, this episode will challenge you to stop waiting for permission and start acting now — before it’s too late.

What keeps a fifth-generation family business alive for more than a century? In this episode, Ben Law sits down with Tom Morrissey of Morrissey & Co, the Darling Downs family behind Australia’s most trusted calf cradles and cattle equipment.

From humble blacksmith beginnings in 1910 to pioneering world-first solar-powered hydraulic crushes, the Morrisseys have always balanced tradition with innovation. Tom shares how his family works side by side — parents, siblings, and now the next generation — and the systems they’ve put in place to avoid the traps that sink most family businesses.

You’ll hear the secrets behind their longevity: putting customers first, making products that outlast decades of use, and doing the hard work of family alignment. Tom talks candidly about the breakthrough moments when the Morrisseys stopped bottling things up and learned to sit down, face the tough conversations, and back each other in.

This is more than a story about cattle gear. It’s about legacy, leadership, and the mindset required to carry a business — and a family name — across generations.

If you’re part of a family business, thinking about succession, or just curious about what it really takes to last 115 years in ag, this conversation is packed with lessons you won’t forget.
