High Performance In and Out of the Pool

From Olympic gold to the ASX 200, Generation Development CEO Grant Hackett joins Steve Johnson for a special episode of Stocks Neat.

They discuss Grant’s journey from elite sport to business leadership, the importance of purpose beyond success, and how lessons from swimming translate into building a $3 billion company.

As Grant shares: “You’re retired to something, not from something.”

The conversation also dives into Generation Development’s core businesses, from investment bonds and annuities to Lonsec and the rise of managed accounts, and how the company is navigating growth, regulation, and leadership under pressure.
