Success leaves clues and if you’re the type of person who wants to learn what it takes to be successful then this is an episode for you.
This week on The Financial Bloke podcast, I have retired beef exporter Mr Richard Rains. In this episode we’ll be discussing his passion for mentoring the next generation, dig into the secrets of his success, and uncover how he achieved the ‘impossible’ and persuaded McDonald’s to include imported Aussie Beef in their All American Burgers.
We’ve all frequently heard naive politicians suggesting we “tax the rich” – which on the surface seems kind of ok, doesn’t it? But what I want any business owners – which includes farmers and graziers – to understand is that you are the “rich” they’re talking about. That’s because you own land and there is money in land, easy taxing money!
This episode was recorded at the 3R Beef pre-bull sale dinner fireside chat at Goonoo Goonoo Station. I was extremely fortunate to have had three high calibre guests which I interviewed in a panel type format. The panel guests were David Bondfield (former director of Palgrove), Richard Rains (a retired meat exporter who was turning over about $500M annually when he retired) and Angus Street (CEO of Auctions Plus).
Today our guest is Mark Davie. Mark and I are talking about how important it is that Ag avoid being unfairly portrayed as the “villain” and whether we need to take back control of the narrative.
If you are sceptical that this issue is relevant to you, have a look at legislation being passed by ill-informed politicians in Sri Lanka, Ireland, Canada and The Netherlands and in our own energy sector. These should be our canary in the coal mine.
John Moor is a 6th generation dairy farmer, owner of GrowMoor Biological and a highly experienced Succession Planning Facilitator.

We also address how using a highly qualified and experienced facilitator will help you pull off a successful succession plan and at the same time, strengthen family relationships.
In this episode, Part 3 of the 3-Part Kids & Money Series, I will be discussing with Carmen Quade how to prepare teenagers and adult children with the money muscles needed to set them up for success.
In this episode, Part 2 of the 3 part Kids & Money Series, Tim and I will be drawing on our almost 40 years of combined professional experience to discuss how we are educating our kids, who are under 12, about money.
Most parents want their kids to learn how to be good with money. They instinctively know that a failure to learn how to play the game of money will put their kids at a major disadvantage, making their lives so much harder. But, whilst the majority of parents want to help their kids, most just don’t know how the hell to go about it.
Because this this is such a hot topic with most parents, I decided I would try a Three Episode series on Kids and Money which I’ve called Money Muscles.
Today we have Senator Susan McDonald to give us her take on the current Foot and Mouth Disease situation and how the Agricultural Industry can help tackle the problem politically.
