In this episode I talk to Ben Bolger, a first time tech founder who made the switch from financial and wealth planning to build a startup focused on children's financial literacy.
We talk about the big changes he made going from semi-independence as part of a big organisation to now running the show with his business partner.
He shares a story of visiting Silicon Valley and how he's now reframed failure as learning, and we discuss the importance of building a team of people who align with the mission and the vision.
Ben also walks me through his thinking around the conversations with friends and family when you want to go down a new path and 3 tips for anyone wanting to break free of the 9-5 and start their own thing.
