In this episode, I interview Stuart Clout - Founder of thedocyard. Starting his career as a lawyer, Stuart bootstrapped his company before going through a merger, IPO and ultimately securing a $250 million private-equity exit. Today, he channels his expertise as the founder of GTM Garage and co-founder of Mulga Defense Corporation.

Throughout the episode, Stuart discusses the important decisions behind leaving his job in law and starting a company. He talks about his achievements, including optimising internal operations and M&A. Stuart also highlights navigating the post-exit transition, particularly the challenge of autonomy in your business.
