Avoiding the tough conversations? It could be costing you everything.
In this powerful episode, Ben Law is joined by communication specialist Katie Godden to unpack the hidden danger that derails most succession plans, fractures family trust, and stalls high-performing families: the conversations that never happen.
It’s not the paperwork. It’s not the accountant.
It’s the silent tension — the things left unsaid for too long.
Katie shares why most families avoid the conversations that matter, what it costs them over time, and how to break the pattern with confidence. You’ll learn a simple 4-step framework to help you handle emotionally charged moments with clarity and control — whether in the boardroom, the cattle yards, or at the kitchen table.
Whether you’re navigating succession, leadership transitions, or just trying to get on the same page — this episode will challenge you to stop sweeping things under the rug and start building a stronger, more connected future.
Because in high-performing families, silence isn’t golden. It’s expensive.
