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, where we explore the personal stories of the people who make the markets. Today’s episode with my brilliant guest Robin Hindle Fisher packs a punch: it’s a story about the power of self-belief and tenacity, bold lifelong learning and reinvention, and how great investment firms need leaders who know how to invest, and how to lead. I have known Robin since he became the Non-Executive Chair of Big Society Capital last year. He brings to his leadership the lived experience of social inequality, having been born with disabilities caused by the drug Thalidomide. Our conversation is wide ranging across personal and professional terrain. We hear how being told not to bother applying for a top City job simply whet Robin’s steely determination and competitive edge, and why he thinks the best place to be in asset management now is in impact investment. I enjoyed it immensely and I hope you do, too.
Robin's career has spanned executive and non-executive roles in the investment management industry. He has been a charity sector trustee for over 20 years, and has practiced as a business coach to Exco level corporate executives for the last 14 years. Along with chairing BSC, he is a Governor at the Motability Foundation, a non-exec director at Oldfield Partners and a founding partner at the business coaching firm Hay Hill Partners. Robin received a Masters in Management, Leadership and Strategy from LBS, has an MA in Coaching Psychology and an MSc in Executive Coaching. He was awarded an OBE in December 2018.
Thank you for listening. Please stay tuned for future episodes and spread the word!
