In this episode, Matt Raad sits down with Lucy Wood, a former lawyer who walked away from an 8-year legal career and $60K in student debt to build a completely different future through business ownership. Lucy shares the moment she realised the traditional path no longer made sense, why leaving corporate felt emotionally harder than financially risky, and how finding the right entrepreneurial community completely changed her trajectory. Matt also reflects on his own experience leaving a traditional career path 30 years ago to buy a failing manufacturing business, and why surrounding yourself with people who’ve already done what you want to do can accelerate your growth faster than almost anything else.
