In this series, Going Deep, we do bite-sized explorations into the most interesting industries, businesses, and economic trends… in Australia and around the world. 

For today's episode, we're looking at one of the fastest-growing corners of global finance that most Australians have never heard of - prediction markets.

This isn’t a bet on an AFL game.. Or a punt on the Melbourne Cup. This is placing real money to bet on world events like whether the RBA cuts rates… or whether a recession hits before Christmas? 

In this episode, Brett and Justin explore how prediction markets went from a university experiment in Iowa to Robinhood's fastest growing product and whether this is the future of finance or just the world's most sophisticated casino.

Today we're kicking off our new 'In Conversation' series where we'll be bringing you insights from some of Australia's best and brightest leaders.

In our very first episode, we'll be chatting with Grant Hackett OAM, CEO of Generation Development Group and 3 x Olympic Gold Medallist. You may know Grant Hackett for being unbeaten in the 1500 metre race from 1996 to 2007. What you might not know is that while he was doing all that, he was trading shares, studying commerce & law and quietly planning his second act.

That second act? He's now Group CEO of Generation Development Group (ASX: GDG), which he's helped grow from $694 million to $40 billion in funds under management.

We sat down with Grant for our latest In Conversation episode. He shared his childhood heroes, strange superstitions, public setbacks and the mindset that carried him from the pool to the boardroom.
