Academia to Founder with Tom McNamara

This is our nineteenth episode. Today, I've got two guests, Ian Brookes and Tom McNamara of FreeUP, to elaborate on Tom's fascinating journey from 'Academia to Founder.' He explains how FreeUP started up and developed; what made Tom want to leave academia and venture into the world of entrepreneurship; and why taking such a bold step ended up being the best decision he had ever made.
