181 Dr Bob Gomersall, EdTech Founder and CEO: Worthwhile Wealth and the Courage to Redefine Success from an Edtech Pioneer

About this episode

Dr Bob Gomersall discusses his journey in educational technology and challenges conventional measures of success.

Recorded live at Climb25 - The UK’s Festival of Business Growth & Innovation, this episode of The Unlock Moment features Dr Bob Gomersall: physicist, teacher, accidental entrepreneur and pioneer of global educational technology. Bob traces his journey from teaching physics in the late 1970s to building a business delivering assessment platforms now used around the world, supporting awarding bodies, professional organisations and educational institutions to deliver over 45 million exams across 140 countries. Along the way, we explore the Unlock Moments that shaped his path … the decisions that didn’t come from having a perfect plan, but from gaining clarity about how to choose when the stakes were high and the future uncertain. Drawing on the ideas behind his new book, Worthwhile Wealth, Bob challenges conventional measures of success and invites us to rethink what achievement really means. Rather than chasing scale or status, he reflects on usefulness, impact, and the satisfaction that comes from doing work that genuinely matters - to you and to others. A thoughtful conversation about innovation, clarity, and building a business and a life that feels worthwhile.
