Made In Chaos with Ryan Curtis

How Do You Build 1 Million Followers, a Boxing Career & a Music Brand From Scratch? Ben Williams Tells All.
Ben Williams has done what most people only talk about, built a massive social media following, signed to Warner Music, fought on Misfits Boxing, and launched multiple businesses, all before most people have figured out what they want to do with their lives.
In this episode, Ryan sits down with Ben to get into the real story behind the highlights, the scooter injury that started everything, the year of zero traction on TikTok before going viral overnight, the fight week mental breakdown he nearly didn't come back from, and the book that flipped everything.

Why he got scammed out of his first clothing brand and what he did next
The exact TikTok strategy that took him from zero to 1 million followers
The fight week in Leeds where his head nearly cost him everything — and how he turned it around
Why visualisation and The Secret work, and how to actually apply them
How to build a personal brand that outlasts any business
The Muay Thai camp in Thailand, the new clothing brand, and what's next

Paul Harkin built one of the biggest online prize competition platforms in the UK and Ireland from a bedroom in Liverpool, with no business plan, no investors, and a Shark hoover as his first major prize. Six years later, he's made 11 millionaires, given away over £200 million in prizes, and signed deals with the UFC, Matchroom Boxing, and PFL.
In this episode, Paul opens up about the sacrifices behind the success: the sleepless nights, the £300,000 losses, and the moment he realized "no amount of money will make you happy." He shares what every single millionaire winner had in common, why he hires his mates, and how he's now prioritizing family over scaling further.
What we cover:
How The Prize Guy started with tiny giveaways and scaled to million-pound prizes
The emotional reality of watching someone's life change in real time
Why Paul walked away from deals that didn't align with his values
Lessons from being in rooms with Eddie Hearn and top-tier business operators
The balance between ambition and being present for family
