About this episode

Luke Trickett discusses applying an athlete's focus to business and the challenges of transitioning from swimming to stockbroking.

What happens when you take the "blinkered" focus of an elite swimmer and apply it to the high-stakes world of stockbroking, fintech and entrepreneurship? The success of Luke  Trickett , ex-competitive swimmer and founder of  Marmalade and Blue Stamp Company , is the answer. Luke reveals why "satisfaction" is a foreign concept to him, the reality of transitioning from the pool to stockbroking during the GFC, what watching his world-champion wife Libby's own transition out of the pool taught him, and what it’s really like to build a business with 100% conviction while raising five children.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
