On the Record — Deal Tape & Press

On the Record · Deal Tape & Press

Proof that survives checking.

No borrowed praise, no invented quotes, no “as featured in” logos we can’t verify — ever. Everything on this page is real, sourced, and labeled: third-party where it exists, self-reported where the firm’s own site is the source.

Yes, that name. No — not the Goodfellas guy. I’m the living one.

Host Gresham Harkless Jr. put Billy’s origin on tape for the I AM CEO Podcast — eight years welding Northern Canada pipe, the 2015 crash with a daughter on the way, and the rebuild into M&A. Episode IAM1103, told in Billy’s own voice, on somebody else’s platform.

A method with a name on it.

Buying Beast — the branded deal-sourcing system Billy co-created with Andrew Baldwin, launched out of Alberta in 2023 via a self-published release. Built to find businesses to buy at will, before they ever reach a marketplace — the system the book documents.

The house rule: if it can’t be checked, it doesn’t go on this page. Earlier claims of features in national outlets could not be independently verified — so they’re not here. Named seller testimonials join this section only after the people behind them sign off.

For Media

Put Billy on your record.

Writing about digital M&A, business flipping, or the strange economics of owning a famous dead man’s name? Billy talks in receipts, not platitudes. He can speak first-hand to:

Buying and flipping digital businesses — what actually sells, at what structures, and what kills deals in diligence. AI-driven deal sourcing — finding willing sellers before the marketplaces do. The blue-collar pivot — from 100-man oilfield crews to LOIs. And the name collision itself — what it takes to out-rank a Scorsese character for your own name.
