Tell Us Your Thoughts About The EpisodeS2, E3 — James Hamilton | Cultivate AdvisoryIn this episode of Built in the Bush, Tanya sits down with James Hamilton, a farmer from Narromine in central New South Wales and the founder of Cultivate Advisory.James wears two important hats: he operates a farming enterprise with his wife, Amanda, and he travels across Australia helping farming families and family businesses navigate succession planning. His approach is deeply grounded in people, relationships, communication, and long-term family outcomes — not just structures, numbers, or transactions.Throughout the episode, James shares how his own family experience shaped his understanding of succession, why he believes successful succession must protect both opportunity and relationships, and why families need a safe environment where everyone can be heard and understood. His perspective is clear: succession is not about one person “winning”; it is about helping the family reach an in-principle agreement that feels fair, workable, and future-focused.James also reflects on systems thinking, rural leadership, the value of strong relationships, the mentors who shaped his work, and why regional Australia needs a broader national conversation about succession and the future of family farms.If your family or business is feeling stuck around succession, this conversation is a grounded and practical starting point.Contact James Hamilton — Cultivate AdvisoryWebsite: https://www.cultivateadvisory.com.auPhone: 0428 890 151Email: [email protected]
