In this episode of Beyond Succession, host Leah Tolton sits down with Rob Hannam—CEO of Farm Health Guardian and President of Synthesis Agri-Food Network—to explore how structured strategic planning can help Canada’s family-run farm enterprises move from stuck to scalable.

Drawing on decades of experience supporting more than 50 agri-food organisations through strategy and succession challenges, Rob shares real-world insights into the early warning signs that a family business may be drifting without direction. Together they break down how thoughtful collaborative planning can realign vision, strengthen generational dialogue and unlock long-term value for the next chapter of the farm.

The Supreme Court of Canada has provided important guidance on when Canadian courts can hear claims against multiple foreign defendants.

Robert Staley, Cheryl Woodin, Ciara Mackey, Doug Fenton and Mark Luening break down what this decision means for businesses and litigants navigating international claims.
