The AgriCoach Podcast by The Financial Bloke

Executed well, financially assisting your family can be an amazing gift but done poorly can become a financial disaster and cause irreparable damage to family relationships. 

Ben and our guest Tim Rivett have over 35 years of combined professional advice experience. In this episode, Ben and Tim explore some of the pros and pitfalls of financially assisting family members and some of the ways you can minimise the financial and relationship downside risks. 

If you have kids or grandkids and you have helped them out, or you think you might want to help them out in the future, then this podcast will be right up your alley. 

As someone once said, “The road to hell is paved with good intentions”. So before you gift money, go guarantor, pay for school fees etc, listening to this podcast might be the best investment you have made for your family. 

Tim Rivett is the managing director of Robert Harris Rivett. He was originally trained at a large commercial law firm in Brisbane and has brought his significant experience and training back to his Law firm based in Central Queensland. 

Tim is a wealth of knowledge, and exceptional lawyer and an even better communicator. You can get in contact with Tim at https://robert-harris-rivett-lawyers.leapwp.com.au/people/tim-rivett/.

Ben Law is a coach to some of Australia's most successful farming families. 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.
