Nicholas Moore is a former CEO of Macquarie Group. He retired in 2018 after 32 years at Macquarie, including 10 years as CEO. Nicholas tells us how one of the first things that he did at the depths of the GFC was to ensure the Macquarie Foundation was well funded. Nicholas talks about the Banking Royal Commission, his role in regulating the regulators and the unique role he played in helping to manage the Commonwealth’s risk relating to the Virgin Australia insolvency and eventual sale. But there is a lot more to Nicholas Moore than his achievements at Macquarie and his financial markets involvement. He talks about his role as Chair of the Smith Family, his thoughts on education for young people, his love of history and the influence of his parents on his career.

Nicholas Moore: Priorities, risk management, education, helping Treasury, helping young people and more…

In this fascinating and wide-ranging discussion with branding and advertising guru, President and Regional CEO of TBWA, Paul Bradbury, we discuss recent developments in advertising markets and consumer trends. We use company examples such as Gatorade and Telstra to bring the branding process alive. Paul makes one of the biggest calls in the history of the Good Investing Podcast by saying social media has peaked and he explains why he thinks this is the case. He speaks of how people's media consumption patterns and behaviour have changed including the emergence of the "you only live once" mentality which is possibly contributing to stronger than expected discretionary consumption. We discuss two campaigns that are making a real change to the social landscape, signifying the potential social power of advertising, before we move into the ranking of the Greatest Five Ads in the history of Australian advertising. Will your ranking be the same as Paul's?

Ep #32: Paul Bradbury of TBWA on branding/advertising markets; the peak of social media and campaigns that make a social difference

What has Shane Watson learnt on the cricket field that is applicable to business? A lot... and it is all in his new book, The Winner’s Mindset, released in January 2024. Yes there is some cricket talk on Ep#31 of the Good Investing Podcast, but the real focus is on what Shane has learnt over his career about how the mind works, the mistakes he has made and how to motivate and help people to perform at their best as often as possible. We read an earlier edition over summer and what struck us was Shane’s honesty and openness but also the applicability of a lot of what he wrote to the business world.

Shane talks about the difference between Mindset and Skillset, how the conscious mind works vs the unconscious mind and the fact that confidence cannot be about results. Very true in sport, life and investing. Yes, we all strive for good results but we can’t control whether we achieve them. He talks about his performance equation, mental toughness – again equally applicable to the sporting field as the Boardroom and his ACT model. We even have for the very first time a Good Investing Podcast competition where listeners can win the book, personally signed by Shane. The first five people that correctly answer the question, “Who is the best slip fielder Shane has ever seen?” receive a signed copy of his new book. Entries are to be emailed to support@ethicalpartners.com.au. How good!
