Growing up in a small town in northern Canada, Xavier Majic had one dream: to make it to the NHL. In this episode of the FEG Insight Bridge, Xavier walks Greg through his unusual journey from aspirations of professional hockey to playing in Canada’s national hockey league and the NHL, to becoming an investor. They also discuss how Xavier’s conditioning as an athlete has influenced his approach to finance and why he decided to found his firm Maple Rock in Toronto, Canada, rather than New York or San Francisco. Xavier shares his investment philosophy, some of his biggest mottos, and how his relationship with his father helped shape him into the leader he is today. Whether you’re a relative hockey novice or a Slapshot enthusiast, you won’t want to miss this enthralling episode.
“You have to do the stuff that you don't get credit for. And if a whole team does that--this is the thing about hockey that's great is, you do something unselfish and it creates a success somewhere else. And you don't get credit for that. It's not measurable. But I tell you, if everyone's doing that little bit, if everyone's doing that little bit that is for the team, everyone becomes successful.”
