Fear and Greed
About this episode

Fred Schebesta is the co-founder of Finder - the comparison website that aims to help people make better decisions. 

Fred started it with a friend back in 2006. It’s now used by millions of people here and around the world - but there’s a fascinating story behind it. 

A story about creativity, passion and drive, success and wealth - and moments where it nearly all came undone.


Michael Thompson sits down with Fred Schebesta for a very candid conversation about success, the risk of failure, and Fred's run-ins with Google and ASIC.
