Matthew Kidman is a wonderful interviewer, head and shoulders above anyone else I have heard, in my opinion at least. He treats his guests with respect, does a great job of drawing out who they are and what their personal qualities are. He is not concentrating on the figures produced by their companies; there are plenty of other sources for those details, but you get a rare and valuable insight into people running public companies or funds that we may or may not be investing in.
Love the interviews. Great mix of established stars of the business world and unknown gems. Each person seems to have a unique background but managed to enjoy remarkable success
These are good interviews but the interviewer Matthew has some grating obsessions - what private school you attended, what sport you were competitive at when at school (preferably AFL it seems), and what boys club inner circle you’re part of.
First time I’ve ever left a review for a podcast but just had to do it for this. This is the best finance/investing podcast I have come across for a long time. Top class guests and a great interviewer! Listened to all the episodes too quickly. Great work Matthew! Loved the insight from yourself and your guests.
