Hello, world.

Welcome to discover your talent, do what you love.

I'm your host, Don Hutchison.

Every Tuesday, I interview someone from around the world who's discovered their talents to do work they love to create a life of success, satisfaction, and freedom.

On Fridays, I interview an individual with many years of experience from one of the most popular or interesting occupations or professions who shares an insider's look at what it's really like to do what they do.

I'm delighted to bring you our featured guest, Darren Rankie. Welcome, Darren. Great to be here,

Don. It is our pleasure. Darren, are you using your talents doing work that you love? Absolutely.

All righty. Well, we want to hear the whole story.

Darren Rankie founded Group 60, an executive coaching and training company based in San Diego, to bring his purpose to life and to transform leaders, their teams, and their organizations.

Group 60 works with leaders and teams at Fortune 500 companies, mid-market companies, fast-growing

startups, visionary non-profits, and transitioning military special forces. He fundamentally believes

there is greatness within each one of us. His mission is to unleash the inner line within leaders

so they can lead more authentic and joyful lives

while creating stronger and more resilient teams, organizations, and communities.

Amazing work, Darren, and we look forward to hearing the whole story. But before we get into the

story, tell us what you're engaged in right now that has you excited and motivated, please.

Yeah, something that's really exciting for me and forced me to challenge myself as I

published my first book in January.

The book's titled The Savage Leader.

And it's about leadership principles or 13 principles that I believe are really important.

And the book takes a little bit of a different perspective on leadership that really parallels my life and my work experience.

And it's about the inner journey that we go on as leaders to become great.
