#252: Darren Lee - International Podcasting; Coaching $50 Billion a year Companies; Rescuing dogs

In this episode, I had a conversation  with Darren Lee. He's an international entrepreneur, a world traveler and he is one of the best podcasts hosts in the world right now, especially when it comes to business and entrepreneurship. He's generated over 50 million views, over 30 shows, and he's the founder of Voice.  We also discussed topics such as, of course, podcasting, the trials and tribulations of entrepreneurship, his background as an athlete, as well as rescuing dogs, one of the most interesting things I've ever had on a podcast.
