Episode 1: Capital and Character
In Episode 1 of the Maximus Corporation: Negotium Negotii podcast, we focus on the intersection of capital and character. It's all about partnerships, trust and the deliberate choice to back people, not just assets. The Finance Ghost sits down with co-founder Jan van Niekerk to get the story behind this distinctive investment holding company. From humble beginnings in Pofadder to running a JSE-listed company and eventually co-founding Maximus Corporation, Jan candidly shares the journey that shaped his investment DNA.

In Episode 2, The Finance Ghost and Jan van Niekerk dig into leadership and culture: why culture is set from the top (not written on a wall), how to spot and fill your own blind spots as a leader, what to look for when making executive appointments, and how a bad management team can break even a great business.
