Dylan Davey is making serious moves behind the scenes of the A list world, but it hasn’t always been VIP parties and champagne campaigns.

In this episode, we hear from a natural born entrepreneur who carved out a name for himself by doing what most people are too afraid to do, backing himself completely. From his early years growing up neurodivergent and missing large chunks of education due to meningitis, Dylan learned to figure things out fast. He shares the highs and lows of building his business from scratch, starting out on £40 a week phone deals and going on to broker multimillion pound brand partnership deals with some of the world’s biggest names.

We talk mental resilience, imposter syndrome, and the behind the scenes reality of working in an industry that often feels like a parallel universe, the pressure, the performance, the access, and the madness that comes with it.

This one’s got range. Hilarious one minute, deeply personal the next, and filled with practical insight throughout. Dylan doesn’t hold back, and it’s this raw honesty that makes him such a powerful guest.

Key moments include:

✔ Overcoming adversity and missing four years of school.

✔ Struggles with identity, neurodivergence, and imposter syndrome.

✔ Behind the velvet rope, what it’s really like working with celebrities.

✔ How personal brand helped him scale fast.

✔ Why confidence and character still win in business.

An inspiring story from someone who’s just getting started but already playing in the big leagues.
