He Built 12 Failed Businesses. Then Created 1,000 Inbound Leads a Month Using AI. | Deepak Shukla

About this episode

Deepak Shukla shares his journey from building failed businesses to generating 1,000 inbound leads a month using AI.

Deepak Shukla, founder of Pearl Lemon Group, runs 132 people across 6 continents and generates over 1,000 inbound sales-qualified leads every month through Google, ChatGPT, and other large language models. In this episode, Robin and Deepak dig into the real mechanics of building an inbound machine, where AI genuinely replaces human sales workflows and where it completely falls flat, and how Deepak is now shipping SaaS tools monthly through LemStudio using vibe coding with no formal development background. A raw, honest conversation about entrepreneurship, failure, and building systems that sell while you sleep.
