The High Flyers Podcast with Vidit Agarwal

The High Flyers Podcast is a long-form interview show about achievement with the scaffolding left visible. Vidit Agarwal speaks with founders, executives, investors, operators, and sports leaders about the path before the title became obvious. The conversations are researched, but they do not feel like résumé readings. They look for the moments that bent a career: illness, hard moves, support casts, capital constraints, family support, and decisions made before the outcome looked inevitable. Recent episodes show the range clearly. Andrew Fraser talks through uranium mines, malaria, New Zealand, McKinsey, and becoming president at Halter. Ethan Choi reflects on investing style, risk appetite, and the difference between more process-driven growth work and founder-centered technology investing. Rob Giglio’s conversation circles Canva, customer leadership, staying relevant, and why impact can matter more than a bigger title. David Haber’s episode moves through small business lending, APIs, Goldman Sachs acquisition context, and building compounding advantage. David Neal brings the show into values, trust, alignment, and decision-making inside large investment organizations. Live from EvokeAG, Ruth Leary and Andy Lucas discuss alternative capital, impact investing, hemp, gender, and the gap between innovation and adoption. The show also reaches beyond boardrooms, including Craig Tiley on Tennis Australia and the Australian Open. Agarwal’s style is direct but generous. He asks guests to examine the people around them, not just the milestones attached to their names. Many episodes return to the same useful question: what actually helped this person make better decisions under pressure? The answer is rarely one thing. It might be a spouse, a difficult market, a funding raise, or a room where the loudest voice had to learn restraint. The High Flyers Podcast works best for listeners who like ambition studied carefully, with the personal and professional threads kept together.
