Today’s conversation is with Lee Mair.

Lee spent over a decade in professional football, playing more than 300 games across Scottish football with clubs including Dundee, Aberdeen, and St Mirren - where he was part of the side that lifted the Scottish League Cup in 2013.

But this conversation isn’t just about football.

Since retiring from the game, Lee has gone through the difficult transition many professional athletes face: figuring out identity, direction, purpose, and what comes next after sport.

After trying multiple career paths including coaching, personal training, and IT sales, Lee eventually found his footing in finance before launching Mair Finance in 2023 - a business that has rapidly grown and now works with companies turning over hundreds of millions of pounds.

We unpack the realities of leaving professional sport, the emotional and practical challenges of starting over, the transferable skills elite athletes carry into business, and why relationships and networking have been the foundation of Lee’s growth.

Expect to learn:

• What Lee’s ambitions were as a young professional at Dundee
• His fondest football memories, including winning the League Cup with St Mirren
• The teammates and managers who shaped him most
• What elite sport teaches you about discipline and resilience
• Why the transition out of football can be so difficult
• How lost many athletes feel after retirement
• Lee’s route through coaching, PT, Herbalife, and IT sales before finance
• Why he launched Mair Finance
• How networking and relationships helped grow the business
• The types of clients Mair Finance now works with
• The biggest challenges of building and delegating within a growing business
• What Lee would tell young footballers preparing for life after sport

This was a really honest conversation about identity, reinvention, business growth, and adapting when the thing you’ve known your whole life suddenly ends.
