Love gang. Welcome to The Greatness Machine. I'm your host Darius from Shazday. I'm so pumped to have you here with me.

Now listen, the greatness machine were about two things. Number one, people were living their passions. And number two, those who are creating greatness in the world and doing both of these things despite the odds against them. Each episode, we're going to feature interviews with game changers, business leaders, telling us their origin stories. What made them tick?

What got them to where they are now?

Why?

So can help you step into your greatness

within your life, your business, and your career. Occasionally, you might hear a few solo episodes

for myself, as I say, as I leverage my 20 years of entrepreneurship as a CEO and founder

to help you grow and level up in your journey to scale your life and your business. So, come be a fly on the wall, enjoy the conversation, and I'm stoked to have you here with me.
