S2 E2 | Resilience after a very public m...

LISA JOHNSON
About this episode

In this episode I sat down with Nick Leeson, the trader known for bringing down the oldest bank in history. Like many I'd watched the film Rogue Trader, based on Nick's autobiographical book and had questions about resilience and how you build a life and a legacy after such a huge public mistake.

I also wanted to speak to Nick about the work he does now – helping people like me who have been the victims of fraud and how he got to be in this position after being arguably, one of the most famous fraudsters himself. The collapse of Barings Bank and Nick Leeson's role in it is one of the most spectacular debacles in financial history, leading to a stay in a Singapore prison for Nick. 

Three decades on, Mr Leeson continues to use his experiences to deliver a cautionary tale on the environment that led to the downfall of the bank, as well as his personal views on the current state of the economy and finance industry, and insights on risk management, company culture and mental well-being. In this episode you'll learn about how to move on, what legacy really means and also some tips on how to spot online frauds today.
