Marketing, AI, & The Systems Behind an 8-Figure Entrepreneur | Raoul Plickat

Episode 1

Thursday, May 21, 2026 • Duration 58:41

Raoul Plickat built Creator Group after realising marketing is the most transferable skill in business, and this conversation reveals why timing matters more than execution, how he scaled from clothing brands to payment processing, and what AI is actually changing in the creator economy right now.

Tune in to our debut episode of Deal Junky as we cover why the creator economy shifted dramatically in the last year, making high-ticket courses harder to sell, how proper strategy beats endless split testing, and why people consistently underestimate the speed of exponential technological progress.

Sales, Shark Tank & How To Build A Global Agency | Sabri Suby

Episode 2

Thursday, June 4, 2026 • Duration 50:42

Sabri Suby's first lesson selling ink cartridges from a shipping container: nobody cares about your company, they care about themselves. He flipped his pitch from saving the planet to asking prospects for a model number and offering money, and instantly became the top salesman. This insight led him to King Kong, where he saw the gold rush: most agencies have no idea what they're doing.

On Shark Tank, he's ruthless about three things: founders must pitch clearly without excuses, prove they've survived real hardship, and know their numbers.

The biggest mistake founders make is copying what successful people did after they won, not what got them there.

He Sold 3 Companies For £50M+: Here's The Exact Playbook He'd Follow Today | Timothy Armoo

Thursday, July 23, 2026 • Duration 01:14:48

Timothy Armoo sold his first company at 17 from a council estate in Peckham, £110K for an online magazine he'd built in eleven months. By 27, he'd sold Fanbytes in the biggest deal the influencer marketing industry had ever seen.

The through-line across every deal: Timo never built to build. From day one, Fanbytes was designed for the consolidation wave he saw coming in influencer marketing, the same way it happened in radio, TV and PR. His job, as he tells it, was simple. Don't die.

What he's doing now is the opposite of what made him famous. Forget building audiences for brands. He's buying them, hyper-niche media businesses where people are irrationally passionate, because that's where the margins are and that's where the next wave of consolidation is heading.

M&A Expert: How to Build a Network That Gets You Six-Figure Deals (No Company Needed) | Callum Laing

Thursday, July 16, 2026 • Duration 43:50

Callum Laing, good friend and long-time business partner, arrived in Bangkok at 29, knowing nobody, stood outside his first networking event for ten minutes and went home. That failure forced him to figure out how networks actually work, and led to a framework now behind 100+ public acquisitions.He's ruthless about three things: connections only matter if you're the one running the room, not attending it. Authority comes before opportunity, a board seat opens doors no pitch deck ever will. And equity is the only thing that creates real wealth, even if you didn't found the company.Join Harbour Club now : https://bit.ly/4xzLfrCJoin the Free 21-Day Email Course : https://bit.ly/3QxvlgG00:00 Introduction01:10 Callum Laing and expat experiences06:19 Building a network from scratch in Bangkok09:21 Developing the CARES framework for success13:01 Importance of clear branding and authority18:02 Progressive partnerships and leveraging opportunities22:14 Building authority through board membership27:23 Creating value as a board member32:06 Equity for connections and business growth37:28 Guild community and relationship-driven capital raising39:02 Service-oriented approach in entrepreneurship41:08 Recommended resources and Callum's books43:52 Closing thoughts on joint ventures and inside access→ Follow JeremyLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeremyharbour/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/harbour.jeremy/Website: https://www.jeremyharbour.com/→ Follow Deal JunkyInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/dealjunkyjeremyharbour/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@dealjunkyjeremyharbour→ Follow CallumLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/callumlaing/Website: https://callumlaing.com/

He's Taught Over 1,000+ Startups, Here's What Actually Works | John Mullins

Episode 4

Thursday, July 2, 2026 • Duration 01:02:04

John Mullins sold pasta from a borrowed kitchen before opening a single store, then built a TED Talk watched by 4.5M people on why entrepreneurs win by breaking the rules big companies live by.

He's ruthless about three things: solve one narrow, painful problem, not a broad market. Get customers to fund you before investors. Borrow the assets you need instead of buying them.

The biggest mistake founders make: copying what successful companies do after they've already won, not what actually got them there.

Why I Buy Businesses Instead of Building Them | Ben Kelly

Episode 3

Thursday, June 18, 2026 • Duration 01:00:58

Ben Kelly's pivot came from JP Morgan's private wealth desk. Every $30M+ client got there the same way: built a business and sold it.

He ran his first acquisition as a side hustle, taking a gym CRM from $12K to $100K MRR while still employed and matching his JP Morgan salary without quitting. His fourth deal taught him due diligence the hard way: $800K in accounts receivable with no deposits attached. He closed it down and hasn't cut corners since. His current accounting firm rollup buys at 2.5x EBITDA and exits at 10-12x.

You don't get paid until the end. That's the whole strategy.

03:00 Transition from military to acquisition entrepreneurship
06:45 Experience at JP Morgan and private wealth management
12:15 First deal experience using networking and LinkedIn
