This week, three founders walk into a wild camp at dusk.

Boots off. Cup of tea in hand. Looking back down the ridge we've climbed - and up at the summit still ahead.

Our guest this week is Gerwyn Tumelty - CEO of Coron Projects, ex-Royal Navy, chartered engineer, and a man who has genuinely climbed a few mountains to get here.

Gerwyn built Coron Projects from the ground up in 2022, after years of contracting, a serious health challenge, and a crisis point that forced him to finally ask the question his friend put to him early on:

"Why do you actually want to do this? Because if it's just to grow something - go to B&Q and buy a plant."

He talks about:
- Building a fractional project leadership team that now numbers nine people
- The moment health forced him to stop hiding and start asking for help
- His BBC Wales feature on trigeminal neuralgia and men's mental health
- Writing a chapter for the newly launched book "Untold and Retold" on World Book Day 2026
- His two services - Ascent (contract and consultancy) and Basecamp (training and coaching for engineering SMEs)
- Why connection isn't just a nice word - it's the thing that keeps your battery charged

His C-Word? CONNECTION.
And it lands.
