b'Deepak Shukla Started An Digital Agency Team On Almost No Money. He Shows You How In Todays Entrepreneur Podcast Todays guest joining us on Join Up Dots is a man who i suppose its fair to say has had three lives leading him to this point. Starting his life in a rough school, where nobody expected him to do well and gain entry to University (although it was quite obvious that he was gifted) he achieved his aim. And this to me really places huge credit to a man, who when someone says he cant do something seems to want to prove to the world that they are wrong (not least to those inner demons that hold us all in our place). Stints followed travelling the world, ironman competitions, Tedx talks, making documentaries about the homeless and the list goes on But of course a career needs focus and and as he says " After\\xa0Uni, I went on to work at MEC \\u2013 1 of the\\xa0world\\u2019s leading marketing agencies. I was fortunate enough to be\\xa01 of only 6\\xa0hires out of 500+ graduates! I then went on to work at\\xa0Deloitte as a tax consultant, but decided to leave during the height of the recession to pursue my own business ventures, and dedicate more time to producing music. 150 rap songs later, having left my 2 studios and \\u2018movement\\u2019 that was known as \\u2018Deep Impakt Recordings\\u2019 behind.

Pearl Lemon is made up of an amazing\\xa0team of SEO experts,social people and writers \\u2013 together, they GROW their client\\u2019s businesses and have\\xa0fun\\xa0whilst doing so.\\xa0 And as he says "When I\\u2019m not working, I\\u2019m typically training or watching an action or horror movie lol." Sounds like a pretty good life to have for sure. So is Pearl Lemon the thing that he has been looking for, or just another step towards where he wants to be? And can you do these things on your own, or does it really need a team to start cooking on gas?
