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 and author of The Savage Leader: 13 Principles to Become a Better Leader from the Inside Out.
