7. Meet Niall Riddell: Startup Founder - Corporate Escapology the Podcast

The Corporate Escapology podcast is here to show you pathways that others have trodden to leave their corporate job and do something more fulfilling, purposeful and rewarding.  Like Niall is doing.

Niall Riddell is founder of Paua, an Electric Vehicle startup that offers a kind of fuel card for EV fleet drives, so they can charge anywhere.

Many people sitting in corporate jobs dream of building their own startup - it couldn't be more different, the autonomy, the agility, the pace...but that can also  make it a hard leap for many corporate people (managing risk, the loneliness, too much freedom). 

Niall is a special kind of founder, employing decades of corporate experience - and particularly self-awareness developed through leadership courses.  He knows himself really well - and although he's learning fast what makes him and his startup successful, he's also building on solid foundations and avoiding the hype trap that befalls many a startup founder.
