The Permanent Wealth Podcast 07: Steve Davies
Today’s episode is with Steve Davies – performance coach and former fund manager of the Jupiter UK Growth fund.
Steve’s story is fascinating. In this deeply personal interview Steve goes through his the ups and downs of his career as a fund manager – warts and all – and discusses where things worked for him and where they didn’t.
Steve is very honest in terms of the personal impact the markets had on him and what drove his career change into being a performance coach.
We also discuss:
- The change in market conditions during the last few years which he found most difficult to deal with as a fund manager
- How profit figures can be totally misleading and what they key metric was they focused on.
- The major health scare that prompted a change in career.
- The simple changes that drive the biggest impact on personal and professional health.
For any professional looking to be at the peak of their game, this really is an important discussion that I’m sure you will find valuable.
I hope you enjoy my discussion with Steve Davies.
