What would make someone walk away from a secure, prestigious career path and risk everything to build something from scratch? In this episode of Industry Ignited , Lindsay Gorrill shares the pivotal moment that changed the course of his life. On track to become a partner at KPMG, he made a decision most people wouldn’t: he chose uncertainty over security. What followed was a journey filled with failure, high-stakes risk, global expansion, and ultimately, massive success. From losing nearly all his initial investment to building operations across India, North America, and Europe, Lindsay opens up about what entrepreneurship really looks like behind the scenes. This isn’t a polished success story; it’s a raw look at the setbacks, pressure, and relentless decision-making that define true leadership. If you’ve ever questioned whether you should take a risk, start something of your own, or step away from the “safe path,” this conversation will give you a grounded, honest perspective on what it really takes.
