Episode 45 | Army Engineering to Entrepreneurship - The Ledi Water-Makers Story with Dael Liddicoat

From Army Engineer to Founder. In this episode, I sit down with Dael Liddicoat, former Australian Regular Army Engineering Officer and the man behind Ledi Water-Makers. Dael shares his journey through military service, the realities of transitioning out of Defence, and how that experience led him to design and build his own water purification systems—entirely under his own steam. We cover: - Life as an Engineering Officer in the ARA - The challenges of leaving Defence and finding direction - Turning a capability gap into a real product - Building a company as a solo founder - Why water security and self-sufficiency are critical skills, not luxuries This conversation is about competence, accountability, and creating something tangible after service—no hype, no shortcuts. 👇 Subscribe for more conversations on service, transition and leadership.
