Carl Mullan is laughing all the way to the bank as income at his private firm, Higher Power Productions Limited, has more than doubled over the past year.
It's no secret that the RTÉ star has his finger in more than a few pies as he continues his successful radio career at the same time as podcasting, working on brand deals and social media influencing.
In March, Extra.ie reported that his juggling act has started to pay off as profits at Higher Power Limited soared from €16,537 in 2023 to €42,528 in 2024.
Radio
Carl has worked for RTÉ 2FM for over a decade, having originally joined as a media content coordinator in 2013.
He got his 'big break', if you will, in 2019 when he and Aifric O'Connell joined forces to co-host 2FM's Weekend Breakfast.
Two years later, he and former rugby player Donncha O'Callaghan joined Doireann Garrihy on the new 2FM breakfast show after Eoghan McDermott's departure.
A mass exodus at the station led to a shake-up, and now Carl co-hosts 2FM's breakfast show with Roz Purcell and Aisling Bonner.
In line with RTÉ’s external activities policy, Carl received permission for his external work. The €42,528 recorded as income at Higher Power Productions Limited does not include his RTÉ salary.
Brand deals
Carl is a brand ambassador for Skoda Ireland. Aside from his other social media ads, he regularly shares clips of him showing off and gushing over his €60,000 sponsored electric car from a Skoda motor dealership.
As aforementioned, the dad-of-three has been given permission by RTÉ to promote his top-of-the-range sponsored Skoda vehicle.
Podcasting
Following in the footsteps of his former 2FM Breakfast co-hosts Doireann Garrihy and Donncha O'Callaghan, Carl launched his very own podcast, Phone Truths, in October 2024.
Phone Truths, which boasts an impressive guest roster from Pippa O'Connor and Rosie Connolly to Arthur Gourounlian and Baz Ashmawy, is sponsored by Sky Mobile.
On Thursday, Carl announced his latest venture: a podcast co-hosted by his beloved wife Aisling. The new podcast, titled How are ya, lovie?, drops on Monday, July 21.
No official sponsor has yet to be announced, but it's only a matter of time!
Social media
Carl has built himself impressive platforms on social media, with over 421,000 followers on Instagram and a further 129,000 on TikTok.
Here, he shares unique and gas ads for brands such as Aer Lingus, Ariel, Pampers, Irish Life Health, and Lidl, to name but a few.
