Hello and welcome.

I'm Patrick Curtis, your host and Chief Monkey, and this is the Wall Street Oasis podcast.

Join me as I talk to some of the community's most successful and inspirational members

to gain valuable insight into different career paths and life in general.

Let's get to it.

In this episode, member Rex Banner shares his unique path as an anthropology major to venture

capitalist. We learned that initially he wanted to be a lawyer, when he figured out that

was not a great idea, the struggles he went through from a

non-target for uni and how eventually he pivoted to management consulting out of the London

School of Economics. Enjoy.

Rex Banner, thanks so much for joining the Wall Street Oasis podcast.

No worries. Happy to be here. So it would be great if you for joining the Wall Street Oasis podcast. No worries.

Happy to be here.

So it would be great if you could give the listeners a short summary bio.

Sure.

So I grew up just south of London in a place called Sari, spent my first 18 years there.

It was a straight B student at school.

I had no idea what finance or any of this stuff was,

but had a brief indicated I wanted to be a lawyer.

To become a lawyer, yes.

This was based purely on what I've seen on TV,

which was completely inaccurate.
