Let’s Talk Battling through the Dark Days to Build a Business with Toby Lawrence

What does it take to push through seven brutal years of self-doubt, regulatory hurdles, and near-daily urges to quit? In this episode of Let’s Talk Small Business, Mitchell Wilson sits down with Toby Lawrence—founder and CEO of Arrow Health Private Hospital and a serial entrepreneur. Toby opens up about turning personal family tragedy into an evidence-based addiction treatment facility, navigating the complex world of healthcare governance, and learning hard lessons about HR along the way. Plus, he reveals how delegating and relocating his life to Bali helped him escape 80-hour work weeks, scale up new ventures like Soda King, and finally hit that elusive work-life balance. It’s an honest, no-bullshit look at resilience, radical pivots, and why the best business ideas often strike in the shower.
