I Built a Multi-Million Pound Business… Then Walked Away at 35

At 18 years old, I started Clownfish Events from my bedroom. DJ equipment lived in a B&Q shed, it was carted around in the family car and it became the only job I’ve ever had. Sixteen and a half years later, Clownfish had grown into a multi-million pound events business, trusted by companies like Apple, Google and Netflix - and was named #1 Best Place to Work by The Sunday Times. And then… in August 2025, I walked away. I’m Matt Turner, founder of Clownfish Events - and in my first interview since stepping down, I sit down with Sara Booth to talk openly about the reality of that journey. Including: • growing up feeling like I didn’t belong anywhere • the hidden cost of building a business • my (complicated) relationship with my dad • why success didn’t fix the things I thought it would • the moment I realised it was time to step down • what I’m hoping to do next This video marks the start of a new chapter where I share what I’ve learned about work, leadership, culture and building teams that actually help people flourish. If you're a 👇 • founder • team leader • ambitious employee • or someone trying to find meaning in their work …this channel is for you. Because work takes up a huge portion of our lives. And when it’s done right, it can change everything. 👉 Subscribe to follow this new venture. 00:00 Trailer: Why I Walked Away at 35 01:16 Introducing Matt Turner 03:30 Why I started this YouTube channel 06:00 Who this channel is for (employees & employers) 11:57 Childhood: feeling like I didn’t belong 16:30 Starting a business at 18 19:00 The mindset that drove me 23:37 My relationship with my dad 31:50 The scrappy years of building a business 34:55 Early failures and being sued 38:00 The loneliness of building a business 41:07 The moments I'm most proud of 47:45 Leadership mistakes I regret 49:55 How I manage my mind today 53:05 When running a business stopped being fun 57:30 Why I decided to leave Clownfish 01:03:00 Life after stepping down 01:06:00 Losing purpose after leaving 01:08:07 My mission for the future 01:11:55 Why I didn’t sell the company 01:16:14 Can great culture really work in larger businesses? 01:24:00 Early days Clownfish culture 01:30:39 Advice for founders 01:33:00 Advice for people starting their careers 01:37:27 Interview advice 01:45:00 Best and worst advice I’ve received 01:46:53 My favourite quote 01:49:07 If I got the life I wanted for me, I wouldn't have become the man I'm proud to be Get in touch in the comments below or head to 👇 LinkedIn:   / matt-turner-b5754330   Instagram:   / mattclownfish   New conversations and mentoring content coming soon 👀 #leadership #workplaceculture #careeradvice #entrepreneurship #founderstory #futureofwork #careergrowth
