125) Darren Lee - Career Fulfilment, Podcasting, & Reversing Hairloss

Today’s conversation is with Darren Lee, host of the Kick Off Sessions Podcast and Operations Manager in Wealth and Trading at Revolut. Darren’s made significant career moves within the corporate world after struggling to find fulfilment in one of his first roles after graduating. I ask about the process behind this and how it led to Darren starting his podcast Kick Off Sessions, which is now the largest Careers podcast in Ireland. Darren’s show offers expert advice to young professionals to help them gain more from their career. Expect to learn about Darren’s own career journey and the stand out lessons about career development from over 80 episodes on Kick Off Sessions. There is lots to this conversation including fulfilment, mindset, self development sources, and career mentoring. Given Darren juggles his full time career and creating content as well as a passion for bodybuilding, I ask about time management but more importantly energy management to prevent burnout. This was really interesting for us both to talk about using our mental bandwidth. Lastly, Darren shares his experience with hair loss and the actions he taken to reverse this. This includes things he has stopped doing as well as started. Today’s podcast is supported and sponsored by The Physio Clinic Glasgow. The Physio Clinic Glasgow was established by Arran and Robb, who have previously appeared on episode 72 to do some myth busting in the Physio world, as well as share practical approaches to managing and preventing injuries. Arran and Robb wanted to create a service that brought a proactive and evidence based approach to dealing with injuries and pain. They provide a bespoke assessment and treatment process which allows you address your issue whilst keeping physically active - no more 'just rest it and wait!'. They ensure their clients keep doing what they love - lifting, running or playing their sport. They are based in Glasgow out of a fully stocked rehab facility but for listeners outwith the locality can still access their service with consultations via video call.
