In this episode I had the pleasure of sitting down with Keith D, also known as Keith Smith. Our conversation was a deep dive into the misconceptions holding people back from financial confidence, the transformative potential of decentralized finance, and the lessons Keith has learned from his own financial journey.

In this episode I chat with Michael Kemp, author of three investment books—Creating Real Wealth, Uncommon Sense, and The Ulysses Contract. Our conversation was inspired by Michael’s presentation at the 2025 Australian Shareholders Association conference, diving deeply into the quirks of human psychology and how they shape our investing decisions. Our brains are wired for survival in a prehistoric world, often leading us astray in modern financial markets. Michael pointed out that our ancestors needed to make snap judgments to avoid becoming a predator’s lunch. This instinct to form quick beliefs based on minimal evidence was life-saving back then but can be disastrous for investors today.

This is a fun conversation with Tobias Bucks, Portfolio Manager of Global Small Caps at Ausbil, that turned out to be one of the most fascinating conversations I’ve ever had. Tobias has a unique background in social anthropology, bringing a perspective to investing that was as refreshing as it was profound. What started as a discussion about global small cap companies evolved into a deep dive into human behaviour, cultural constructs, and the art of asking the right questions.
