#744 - Farm Succession Starts With Better Communication

Vance's Links:WebsiteYouTubeApple PodcastsRecorded at the Ag View Executive Business Conference, we sit down with Vance Crowe (Legacy Interviews, The Vance Crowe Podcast) to talk about the hardest part of any farm transition, family communication. Vance shares practical ways to help people actually think out loud, ask better “how” questions without triggering defensiveness, and create real trust by giving someone your full attention. We also dig into how to make space for the quiet person in the room (and why drawing the idea can change everything), plus Vance’s “switching the observer” concept for staying self-aware when emotions run hot. We close with Vance’s Peter Thiel paradox question, and a conversation-starter take on Bitcoin, land, and inflation.
