In this nugget we have Nathan Richardson, at the time of recording the interview he was in the middle of building TradeIT, a company he's since had a successful exit from. He was burnt out, so he went to Libya to help rebuild the infrastructure, such as schools, fresh water and supported women who faced gender based violence. Helping people in such need gave him the strength to come back and build again.
