He Walked Away From a Top Job - And it Changed Everything
For most people, leaving a secure, pensionable job would be madness.
For Harry Maharaj, it was the smartest move he ever made.
In this episode of Just Getting Started, Nicky Hughes sits down with Harry to unpack the courage it takes to walk away from certainty, and how that leap led him to rediscover purpose, family, and legacy on the banks of the River Nore in Kilkenny.
Harry’s story moves from his Indian/South African roots and his grandfather’s groundbreaking medical career in Ireland, through the early days of building a family business from scratch, to what it really means to redefine success beyond money.
In This Episode:
- How Harry’s grandfather helped shape modern orthopaedics in Ireland
- The bold decision to leave a “perfect” corporate job for something uncertain
- The risks, setbacks, and breakthroughs of starting over
- Why legacy, family, and purpose can outweigh financial security
- The moment Harry realised he was “just getting started”
Most people play it safe. Harry didn’t. He left comfort behind and found something far more valuable - purpose.
