TV schedules and programs are like the places where we live. Sometimes they need somebody to come in a do a thorough de-cluttering.

As CBC’s Dragon’s Den heads into a 19th season, who better to join the series as the latest investing entrepreneur than Brian Scudamore? He’s the founder and CEO of 1-800-GOT-JUNK. You know their slogan: “We make junk disapear. All you have to do is point!”

As a pack rat who moved in the past year I know all about clinging to too much stuff. Scudamore tells me on this podcast episode how he came up with the idea of decluttering for others when, as a student, he was stuck in a fast food drive-through lineup. Since 1998, the business has spread to three countries and over 250 franchises. Now this author and podcaster is tackling all the other jobs we don’t want to do with Shack Shine, WOW 1 Day Painting and You Move Me.

Brian isn’t the only new face joining Dragon’s Den this season. The series adds some Marvel muscle with former Kim’s Convenience and Shang-Chi star Simu Liu also joining the other dragons for four episodes.

Look for Scudamore to point and make other people’s business dreams happen this season on Dragon’s Den. The series returns Thursday, Sept. 26 on CBC and CBC Gem.
