Chad Slater is the co-founder of Morphic Asset Management, a high-profile Sydney-based investment company which invests with more than one purpose. He runs a hedge fund which also excludes (or short-sells) companies which his team believes are unethical.

Chad is one of the brightest and passionate investors I've come across. But what makes this episode so incredible is how candid, transparent and honest he is about his journey through his youth, early career and investing.

Chad received top grades at school, spent time at some of the world's best investment firms and now co-leads a team of motivated professionals. But Chad's story isn't all roses.

Having grown up in PNG, Chad vividly recounts his father's decision to uproot the family, take risks and start a small business in the country which stood in contrast to Australia in economic and social terms.

This is an episode I'll be listening to again and again through time because it includes so many profound ideas about money and investing.
