You’re smart about tax. You’ve got a good accountant. You’ve structured things well.
But what if there’s one tax you’re still paying — and it’s not even on the spreadsheet?

In this sharp and confronting MINI EPISODE, Ben Law — The Financial Bloke — exposes the silent killer most farming families never see coming: The Ignorance Tax.

It’s the cost of not knowing what you don’t know — and it’s draining your time, money, and momentum without you realising.

You’ll discover:

• What the Ignorance Tax looks like in a high-performing family (real-world red flags)
• How it compounds quietly over time — damaging relationships, slowing decisions, and fuelling resentment
• The one simple habit that slashes this tax and puts you back in control

If you want to build a family and business that thrives across generations, this episode is your call to stay curious, think strategically, and stop paying for what you could fix.

What happens when your home, business, and family are all wrapped into one — and you never get to clock off? In this episode, Ben sits down with Katja Williams — Dubbo-based farmer, mum of four, and host of The Ultimate Farm Wife podcast — to tackle one of the most overlooked but essential ingredients for success in family farming: boundaries.

This is not a fluffy chat about “work/life balance.” It’s a raw, practical conversation about the invisible load carried by farming families — especially women — and how small changes in expectations, communication, and structure can transform both relationships and results. Katja shares insights from 90+ interviews with rural women, hard-won lessons from her own 11,000-acre enterprise, and actionable strategies for drawing the line before the blow-ups happen.

Whether you’re raising steers or raising kids — if you've ever felt like the farm is taking over your life, this episode is your permission to pause, reset, and lead your family better.

At what cost?

In this punchy MINI EPISODE, Ben Law — The Financial Bloke — delivers a much-needed gut check for ambitious rural families and business owners chasing growth at full tilt.

You’ll learn:

• Why some of the most “successful” families feel the most fractured
• How fear, control, and tunnel vision sabotage long-term success
• The shifts High Performing Families make to stay united, grounded, and fulfilled

This is a must-listen for anyone building a life and legacy — not just a balance sheet.
