Episode #229 of The High Flyers Podcast features Jack Zhang, Co-Founder and CEO of Airwallex, one of the world’s fastest-growing fintech companies valued at over $5 billion. Born in rural Shandong, China, Jack moved to Melbourne at 15, juggling multiple jobs while studying computer science before launching Airwallex in 2015. A former engineer and trader turned global founder, he’s known for his relentless drive, humility, and vision — building a company that powers payments for businesses in over 190 countries.

Note: This is a replay of Episode 157, originally released in February 2024 — one of our most loved classics.

In this conversation, Jack reflects on his humble upbringing in China, moving to Australia as a teenager with little English, and the years of bartending, coding, and side hustles that shaped his discipline. He shares the early failures and pivots that defined Airwallex’s journey, what it took to convince banks and investors to believe in a startup from Melbourne, and how he rebuilt the business three times before global success.

We go deep into founder psychology, hiring intuition, and leadership under pressure, as Jack opens up about stress, sacrifice, and resilience — from anxiety attacks to moments of clarity that shaped his philosophy that “wealth is fluid, but time is not.”

Episode #228 of The High Flyers Podcast features Sam Wong, General Partner at Blackbird Ventures, one of the leading Venture Capital firms and the first investor in Canva. Born in Perth to Malaysian-Chinese and British-Indian parents, Sam went from packing Sound Blaster boxes to building Blackbird’s New Zealand fund while five months pregnant. A former lawyer turned founder turned investor, she’s known for her humility, conviction, and sharp judgment backing bold founders across Australia and New Zealand.

Note - This is a replay of episode 129 that originally released in May 2023. Since so many of you loved that episode over two years ago, we're re-releasing it today since it's a classic.

In this conversation, Sam Wong reflects on her multicultural childhood in Perth, growing up in an entrepreneurial family where dinner-table talk was all business, and how feeling like an outsider shaped her worldview. She shares her journey from law to startups to venture capital, and the pivotal lessons that helped her transition into investing — including the “2 out of 10” feedback from Blackbird co-founder Niki Scevak that changed her career.

We go deep into building Blackbird’s New Zealand fund while five months pregnant, the early challenges of launching a firm from scratch in a new country, and how she defines courage, success, and integrity in venture. Sam also opens up about identity, bias, and belonging, the balance of being a partner, parent, and leader, and the philosophies that guide her — from her annual “fire yourself and reapply” reflection to Barack Obama’s timeless quote, “Keep it about the work.”

We go deep into how he built Honey Insurance in Australia post-divorce and during COVID with no local network—raising $130M, signing national partners, and scaling to $50M ARR—plus the mental toll, the near-death moments, and his biggest lessons on building teams, co-founder dynamics, emotional plasticity, and founder psychology. He also shares what he’s now searching for after stepping back as CEO.
