Meet Karen Penfold, a driving force behind one of Australia's most dynamic family agribusinesses. In this candid conversation, Karen shares the highs and challenges of managing succession in a multi-generational farming family. Hear how she and her husband Dan transitioned out of their family business, raised four incredibly driven daughters, and are now proactively setting the stage for the next generation.
Learn how their family prioritises communication, clarity, and collaboration to build a thriving business while maintaining strong family bonds. Karen’s practical insights—shaped in part by our Agricoach coaching sessions over the past 12 months—are invaluable for anyone looking to future-proof their farm, grow wealth, and avoid the dreaded three-generation curse.
This episode is a masterclass in aligning family and business for long-term success. Whether you're in the thick of succession planning or just starting to think about the future, Karen’s story will inspire and motivate you to take action.
Plus, we share how you can dive deeper into this topic at our upcoming High Performing Families Roadmap Workshop™. Don’t miss it!
