Lachlan Smale is the Strategy and Investments Manager at Kismet. He is also, according to his colleagues, a mythical creature. 

Lachie has been quietly one of the most interesting people in the building since he arrived, and this episode finally gets him in the room. 

He talks about almost (my take, not his) making it as a professional soccer player, investment banking in London and the app idea that became The Brick before The Brick existed.

He also shares three quotes he thinks about all the time.

Plus: the vest incident in full, critical vitamin D levels, pickleball, padel courts he tried to invest in (the capex killed it), and a shout-out to Dr Lionel Lubitz of the Royal Children's Hospital. 

In this episode they cover:

•  Commerce, master's degree, consulting, Canberra and investment banking: the generalist path

•  Soccer scouts

•  Is finance complexity by design? 

•  How to stand out when every resume looks the same

•  Helping founders sell the businesses they spent their whole lives building

•  Why five is his favourite number 

•  The vest incident: how Lachie became a Kismet mythical creature

•  Pickleball, padel courts and why the investment did not happen
