The Savage Leader Podcast

Learn how to become a better leader from the inside out. This isn't your traditional leadership podcast as I believe that leadership lessons come from conventional sources such as entrepreneurs and successful business executives as well as from unexpected places; Navy SEALs, professional athletes, sports coaches, musicians, entertainers and more. On each episode, I interview leaders from all walks of life so that you walk away with tips to apply to your life and career. I'm your host Darren Reinke, founder of Group Sixty ( https://www.groupsixty.com/ ) and author of The Savage Leader: 13 Principles to Become a Better Leader from the Inside Out ( https://www.groupsixty.com/book ).
