#104: Regenerating the land is only half the battle—Don’t forget to regenerate your family with Charlie Arnott - The Regenerative Journey

When the paddocks are thriving but the family’s falling apart, what’s really being regenerated?

In this episode of The Agricoach Wealth & Wisdom Podcast, Ben Law sits down with eighth-generation farmer and regenerative ag pioneer Charlie Arnott. Charlie shares the raw, unfiltered story of what led him to overhaul his approach to farming—and, just as importantly, to life. From burnout during the millennium drought to discovering the power of values-led living, Charlie’s journey goes far beyond soil health. Together, Ben and Charlie explore how curiosity, communication, and conscious planning are the real generational assets—both in the paddock and around the dinner table.

If you’re a forward-thinking farming family that’s built a successful operation but knows there’s more to legacy than land and livestock, this episode will challenge and inspire. You’ll walk away with practical ideas—from the power of a 12-month family calendar to simple daily rituals—that could be the key to regenerating not just your farm, but your family’s future.

One thing I’ve noticed after working with successful families for over 20 years?

They find a way to surround themselves with other driven, switched-on families.
 They don’t leave it to chance — especially when it comes to their kids.

Because deep down, they know this:
You become who you mix with.
And so do your children.

That’s why I created the High Performing Families Accelerator —
 A private mastermind group for families who are still growing

You’ve built a serious business — scaled, profitable, and something to be proud of.
 But here’s the question: what happens next?

If your kids are now in their 20s and you’re 5 to 10 years from stepping back, this is the moment to get everyone on the same page — before decisions get forced on you.

That’s exactly what we’ll help you do at the High Performing Families Roadmap Workshop — back this October by demand.

In two days off-farm, you’ll create a clear 10-year fam
