What does it truly take to perform at the highest level - and sustain it?
In this episode of The Accountant That Builds, Shannon Smit sits down with Olympic champion turned business leader Grant
Hackett to explore what it takes to perform at the highest level and sustain it over time. From breaking world records in the pool to
leading an ASX-listed financial services company, Grant shares the mindset, discipline and leadership lessons that have shaped his
journey from elite athlete to CEO.
Grant reflects on his transition from sport to business, why he now finds greater fulfillment in leadership, and how the habits built
through elite training became the foundation for his approach in the corporate world. He also shares a defining career moment where he
was given the chance to prove himself, delivering strong results and setting the foundation for long-term business growth.
The conversation dives into what separates high performers from the rest, highlighting the importance of consistency, clear goals, and
disciplined routines. Grant also shares a powerful lesson from the Olympic stage about blind spots and awareness, and how that experience
continues to shape his decision-making in business today.
