Stephen shares the wild story of Indigo’s accidental pivot into global event tech—including an ambitious project in the UAE that involved Formula One hospitality setups and open-air networking at scale. But the real gold lies in the quiet wisdom he’s gained over 23 years in business:

  • Why year two of a startup is the hardest (and what to expect)
  • The moment he decided to leap from employee to entrepreneur
  • How values shape team culture and client loyalty
  • Why “fixing problems” beats “selling solutions”
  • His personal philosophy for switching off from work and showing up fully at home

 

This is a grounded, thoughtful, and inspiring conversation with a founder who proves you don’t need a flashy brand to build an exceptional business.
