LISTEN: High Performing Families (Part 2) with Ardie & Kacie Lord

Join us in this compelling episode as we reconnect with Ardie and Kacie Lord, the dynamic duo behind Lord Pastoral in Sutherland, QLD and a prime example of a High Performing Family. This is part 2 of our High Performing Families series, following our previous interview with their son and daughter-in-law, Nikko and Jade Lord. After the flood of questions we received from listeners following our last discussion at Beef24, we’re diving deeper into Ardie and Kacie's journey to share some of the standout moments that have shaped their success.

Ardie reflects on how he began the succession journey way back in the 90s, when their children were still young, setting the stage for what many consider a model of proactive planning. Kacie, the family’s communication guru, opens up about the challenges they’ve faced in maintaining trust and effective communication, sharing how they navigated rocky times and ultimately strengthened their bond.

One of the most common challenges for farming families is balancing fairness between on-farm and off-farm siblings. Ardie and Kacie provide thoughtful advice based on their own experiences, offering practical solutions for maintaining harmony within the family.

As they look ahead, Ardie and Kacie also ponder their roles in the family’s future, sharing a golden nugget of advice for families striving to preserve both their agribusiness and family unity. They emphasise the importance of self-care for the older generation, a crucial aspect often overlooked in succession planning.

Tune in for an inspiring and informative discussion that will leave you motivated and equipped with valuable strategies to help your own family succeed across generations.
