## Resource

In this episode, I sit down with Luke McCluskey, Founder and CEO of Circle Recruitment, to unpack how he built a £100K weekly GP contract business from just £2,000 in the bank, a toddler at home, and maintenance to pay. We cover the full journey across eight years and four distinct chapters of growth, the frameworks Luke uses to run a high-performance contract sales floor, and the strategic moves he's making now to get from £100K to £180K weekly GP.
