    Your Company is Not a Family: Bootstrapping Lessons with the Founder of TESTA

    In this episode of the iGaming Leader Podcast, Leo sits down with Kyle Wiltshire, the founder and CEO of TESTA. Kyle takes us on a journey from the high-octane "Wild West" days of Bodog in Manila to building a global, bootstrapped testing powerhouse from his base in Taipei. Kyle shares the "brutal" reality of scaling an operation from 50 to 1,200 people in a flash, the hard-learned lessons of dealing with technical partners who try to "hold products hostage," and why he believes the common corporate trope of "we are a family" is actually toxic for performance. He opens up about his philosophy of "making yourself non-essential" and why the most successful leaders are generalists who know exactly when to hand off the ball. GUEST BIO Kyle WiltshireFounder & CEO, TESTA Kyle Wiltshire is a technical-leader-turned-entrepreneur who specialised in DevOps and backend innovation long before they were buzzwords. After years of driving massive scalability for Asia-facing operators, he founded TESTA in 2023 to solve a persistent industry pain point: real-world, crowdsourced QA for the global iGaming sector. Based in Taipei, Kyle is a self-proclaimed "generalist" with an MBA who believes in building lean, profitable businesses in uncontested markets. Key topics discussed 00:00 – Why a company is a sports team, not a family.02:00 – Moving to Manila: The "brutal" 12-hour time difference and the project that never ended.04:00 – The Bodog Days: Scaling from 50 to 1,200 people and the chaos of "two of everything."09:00 – The Partner Betrayal: How a startup partner tried to hold code hostage for equity.14:00 – The Ethics of Equity: Why Kyle is now "freewheeling" no more with cap tables.16:00 – The Bootstrap Constraint: Why saying "no" to VC money made TESTA a more scientific business.23:00 – Finding the "Blue Ocean": Why Kyle chose crowdsourced testing over the "Red Ocean" of slot studios.26:00 – The Squeaky Wheel: Why coaching low performers is a drain on the high performers.31:00 – Parroting vs. Execution: The challenge of "yes-men" in diverse global cultures.36:00 – The Art of the Handoff: How to get over yourself and let the team run the booth.43:00 – The Vince McMahon Lesson: Railroaded ambition and disrupting regional territories. Key takeaways The Sports Team vs. Family Model: A family is unconditional; a company is mission-based. Viewing your team as a high-performance sports unit allows for the "ruthless" but necessary decisions required to protect the organisation's goals. Make Yourself Non-Essential: The ultimate goal of a founder is to be "off the critical path." If a business requires you to be the subject matter expert in every room, you haven't built a company—you've built a job. The "Mom Test" for Software: You can have all the data in the world, but you will always learn more by watching a real person use your product in their own environment. Data tells you what is happening; stories tell you why. Bootstrap for Clarity: Outside capital often forces a "race to the top" that ignores product-market fit. Spending "money that would have been in your pocket" forces a more disciplined, scientific approach to growth. Stop Fixing People: In leadership, you cannot solve people like a technical challenge. Spending excessive time coaching a low performer isn't just a waste of your time—it’s an insult to your high performers who are actually carrying the weight. Memorable quotes "A company is not a family. Let's be honest, we're trying to accomplish this thing... It’s not, we're all just here to hug each other and sing Kumbaya." "How would you ever get promoted if they absolutely need you to do the thing that you do? The goal is to make yourself not essential." "If you are clever enough to build another slot company in 2026, good on you... I like the uncontested space." "You have to learn to fire people when it’s not working because it’s actually this weird superpower that brings the whole group together."

  2. The "Bait and Switch" of the C-Suite: Dealing with the gap between the job description and the reality of a company in trouble.

    6 FEB

    In this episode of the iGaming Leader Podcast, Leo sits down with Ian Freeman, a commercial powerhouse who has navigated the high-stakes world of Kambi, IGT, and Inspired Entertainment.  Ian pulls back the curtain on the "Bait and Switch" of executive leadership, the moments when the glossy job description meets the grim reality of a business in crisis. Ian reflects on the formative trauma of losing his father at 20 and how carrying a family legacy forged a "survive and thrive" mentality that defined his career.  He shares the brutal honesty of walking into his first board meeting at a new firm only to realise the company was on the verge of insolvency, and how he learned, through painful trial and error, that coming in "too hot" can sometimes fuel the fire rather than put it out.

GUEST BIO Ian Freeman, former CCO & CRO (Kambi, IGT, Inspired Entertainment), is a veteran commercial leader with over 20 years of experience across Europe, North America, and LatAm. From driving Kambi’s landmark IPO to navigating the complex regulatory waters of Brazil for Inspired, Ian has seen the industry from every angle. Beyond the boardroom, Ian is a devoted father in a blended family and a passionate fly fisherman who finds his clarity in the silence of nature.

Elen shares the brutal reality of her first weeks as CMO: facing a £100 million fine, Swedish re-regulation, plummeting share price, and multiple rounds of restructuring that forced her to make impossible decisions about people she'd worked alongside for years. She reveals how she kept 550 people motivated while simultaneously having to cut headcount, and why the loneliness at the top hit harder than she expected. About Elen Barber Elen Barber has been working in the gaming industry for over 20 years and has witnessed its evolution from the wild west days to today's highly regulated landscape.

You can't rely completely on your manager to get you through your career." "And it is scary for the leader to understand and accept that suddenly you know significantly less than people within your team." "I've been working all my life, and I didn't know how to relax, I missed that mental stimulation.

    The Entrepreneurial Journey: 30 Years of Leadership Lessons from David McDowell

    In this episode of the iGaming Leader Podcast, Leo sits down with veteran executive David McDowell, co-founder of FSB Technology and an early pioneer in the B2B platform space, to unpack the brutal reality of the 30-year entrepreneurial journey. David shares the truth about leadership burnout (it's the weight of the decisions, not the hours), the biggest mistake CEOs make when scaling (waiting too long to remove a talented but toxic employee), and the devastating cost of losing your vision. He offers a raw, cathartic reflection on the final chapters of FSB: being named Platform of the Year, only to have the momentum killed by a lack of capital investment demanded by a board focused on short-term liquidity. This is a crucial lesson in battling the "noise to the vision" and the indispensable wisdom only gained by staying in the game long enough to get the wins. About David McDowell David started his career as an engineer in Michigan and moved to London to do an MBA in 1993. He launched his first business, a two-sided marketplace using college students to teach adults how to use the internet, in 1995. He has since spent 25 years in the gambling industry. He co-founded GameAccount (now GAN), an early skill games provider that pivoted to B2B casino games and platform provider before its IPO in 2013.He co-founded and was CEO for 15 years of FSB Technology, a B2B sports betting platform that was sold to PE in 2019 and on to EveryMatrix in 2024. He currently works as an independent consultant with various gambling-related businesses and serves as an Entrepreneur Mentor in Residence at London Business School. Key Topics Discussed 00:00 - The entrepreneurial philosophy04:00 - Building the first venture (SOS) in 199506:15 - Transitioning to CEO: becoming the external face of the organisation07:45 - It often feels like everything that you do is a mistake10:00 - Managing burnout: the importance of compartmentalising and health16:30 - Careful who your investors are19:20 - The fundraising Goldilocks problem: minimising dilution while maximising runway24:30 - Why customer-led features are often an absolute waste of time31:00 - Knowing in your gut someone is wrong for the organisation37:00 - Communicating your vision clearly39:00 - Isolation in leadership47:00 - What would I do differently going back Memorable Quotes "The entrepreneurial journey is just staying in the game long enough so that you can get the wins.""All of those are almost noise to the vision. You still have to kind of make sure that you're building your own vision...""My biggest mistake is waiting too long [to remove a cultural mismatch] because I thought we need... we can't afford the disruption right now."

Daniel shares how a thoughtful, mentor-first approach lets him scale two companies at once, trust strong operators, and stay composed when cashflow shocks or client pull-outs hit.  He explains how journalling, walking meetings, and “breathing through” crises turn panic into analytical problem-solving and innovation.
