011: All In - An Entrepreneurs Journey with Tim Walmsley
WARNING
We do talk about suicide in this episode, which I know can be distressing. So if you need resources then please seek those out in your location.
If in Australia go to beyondblue.org or you for 24 hour free counselling in Australia, the number for Lifeline is 13 11 14, please look after yourself.
Starting a business is no easy task and takes hard work, dedication, and plenty of grit to succeed. For those who are willing to put in the effort and go all in, the payoff can be immense.
In this episode of Frontline to Boardroom, I chat with Tim Walmsley, a former member of the Australian Army for 13 years and now the owner and founder of BenchOn, a tech platform that automatically matches government and enterprise’s demand for talent, products and services to the businesses that have the right capability and capacity to support.
Tim shares his leadership insights and challenges while serving in the Army on operations and leading his troops through difficult times. He also discusses how his experience in the Army helped him to transition into his own business and has some advice for those thinking of starting their own.
In our conversation, Tim shares how he started his business, BenchOn, going literally all in. He takes us through the challenges of entrepreneurship and starting a business and how he dealt with them. Indeed, his determination and dedication to making BenchOn a success are evident in everything he does.
If you’re thinking of starting your own business or are already on the entrepreneurial journey, this is the episode for you!

ABOUT TIM WALMSLEY
Tim Walmsley, an Australian Army veteran with 13 years of service, joined the Army rather later in life.
Tim led an air defense and surveillance team that provided early warning and drone capacity throughout his combat deployment in Iraq and Afghanistan.
He left the Army in 2015 as a Major and transitioned into the defense industry, concentrating on strategy and business development for a company that specializes in aerospace engineering.
Tim sold his home and put everything on the line to launch BenchOn. In a nutshell, BenchOn is a software platform that automatically connects enterprises with the necessary capability and capacity to fulfill government and corporate demand for people, goods, and services. They currently assist some of the greatest names in local government, defense, and more, in addition to over 3000 defense enterprises.
