About this episode

Yogesh Patel discusses his transition from practitioner to business owner, focusing on the strategic and cultural changes involved.

In this episode, Yogesh Patel talks to host Carl Reader of the dt group about his journey from practitioner to owner of Telic and the emotional, strategic, and cultural shifts that came with it. Taking over a business you once worked in is no small transition. Yogesh reflects on stepping out from being the bottleneck, putting his own stamp on the brand, and redefining the firm’s identity around quality, purpose, and impact. From pursuing B Corp status to introducing structured learning and development through Lunch & Learns, Yogesh is building a boutique firm known for excellence and integrity. This conversation explores leadership, resilience, culture, and the realities of scaling without compromising standards. Want to watch the vodcast instead?
