In Part 1, Heidi Olson sits down with Dr. Bruce Pedersen to explore multi-generation legacy through the lens of family, farming, and vocation. They reflect on what it means to inherit more than assets — values, identity, and responsibility — and how deeply place, work, and purpose shape the way families think about legacy. This episode sets the foundation for understanding why succession planning starts long before documents are signed.

Aging, retirement, and caregiving are some of the most difficult conversations farm families face — not because of paperwork, but because of identity, fear, and unspoken responsibility. In this episode, Heidi Olson breaks down why these conversations are so often avoided, how informal caregiving quietly begins, and how unspoken roles can create resentment and stress inside both the family and the operation.

Heidi shares a practical, compassionate framework for starting these discussions early — without blame, pressure, or forcing decisions. This episode is about replacing crisis-driven choices with calm, intentional planning that protects parents, successors, and the farm itself.
