Welcome to Being Invested, the podcast where we explore investing from the inside. I’m not talking about insider information, but the personal stories of the people who make the markets. I’ve always been fascinated by how skilled investors have become who they are, how they’ve ridden the roller coasters and what it means to them. I’ll introduce you to innovators and leaders in all types of assets and markets – from blue chip stocks to venture capital, from timber to crypto, from violins to power plants.
I’ve been an investor and worked in the international capital markets for my whole career. I’ve had a front-row view of the women and men who move money to shape our world, and I’ve always been interested in who they are as human beings, the choices they’ve made, the qualities that make them good at what they do, and how they deal with setbacks.
This is not a podcast about where to invest your money. It’s a podcast for people who want to understand and thrive in the financial services industry – for those of you just thinking about entering it, for anyone a bit stuck in one corner and ready for a change , and for those of you, like me, who are just plain curious about who the people are behind the world’s financial markets. You’ll get to hear how investors have built and are building their careers and their businesses, and learn from them to invest for the outcomes you desire. And how to respond when the price tanks.
The mindset of being invested can enrich and elevate your journey, and I’d love to encourage more people into the sector who may not have considered it before.
Please join me for riveting conversations and new insights into the careers, life hacks and hard-won life lessons of investors across the globe.

Welcome back to Being Invested. Thank you for joining me for another fascinating, personal conversation with a skilled investor. I'm so glad you have tuned in. My guest today is Jeremy Biggs. Jerry is the founder and CEO of NCL, a UK investment management firm investing in high growth, pioneering healthcare companies.
But Jerry was not always an investor, and his journey to running a venture capital firm followed a non-traditional route. When he was in primary school, his head teacher presciently noted his ‘playground leadership’ skills. It was evident even then that Jerry had the ability to read situations, communicate well and motivate groups of people. These strengths were tested, expanded and taken to new levels when Jerry joined the British Army out of school, ultimately serving as an infantry officer and seeing active service in the Balkans, Middle East and Northern Ireland. Jerry founded NCL in 2015 with the core belief that the modernisation of healthcare will be one of the greatest growth drivers of the 21st century. In addition to running NCL, Jerry is kept busy with 5 children, and sits on the board of a number of high growth businesses.
In our lively conversation, Jerry talks about reinventing himself after a decade on the front lines, and how his focus on understanding the full value chain of business has paid dividends. We delve into his investment approach, the power and versatility of 'on time and on budget,' and why anyone considering an investing career should take a look at the healthcare sector and cultivate integrity. Jerry has contagious enthusiasm for what he does, combined with clear, systemic thinking, humility and humour. I hope you enjoy our conversation as much as I did!
