When the stakes are high – what can investors learn from an Olympian?

Back to podcasts

By Hayley Boneham Podcast | The Purposeful Investor

What does it really take to perform at a high level when life doesn’t go to plan?

In the latest episode of The Purposeful Investor, David Andrew and Aden Wilkins sit down with former Hockeyroo and Olympian Fiona Ryan to explore the mindset behind high performance.

Fiona’s story extends far beyond elite sport. From representing Australia on the world stage, to navigating a serious cancer diagnosis, building a career in law, becoming a mother, and launching her own business, she shares the lessons she’s learned about resilience, discipline and making decisions under pressure.

It’s a conversation about more than success. It’s about how we respond when things get difficult, how we stay focused on what matters most, and what high performance looks like in different seasons of life.

For investors, many of the themes will feel familiar. The ability to remain calm during uncertainty, stay committed to a long-term plan, and make thoughtful decisions when emotions are running high.

A powerful discussion on mindset, resilience and the habits that help us perform when it matters most.
