Description

What if $12/hour, no college degree, and zero industry experience could still land you six-figure deals or a thriving business?

In this episode, hosts Chris Jaeger and Adam Stoczynski sit down with sales expert and LinkedIn thought leader Darren McKee—founder of Darren McKee Co.—to unpack how authenticity, personal branding, and social selling changed his life.

From flipping pizzas and running mailrooms to building a massive LinkedIn presence and launching his own business, Darren’s journey is a real-world sales masterclass in persistence, preparation, and showing up differently.

He shares how video DMs break through inbox noise, how most reps fail by skipping the basics, and why sales success today is all about doing what others won’t.

Whether you're in B2B sales, SaaS, talent development, or just looking to stand out in a crowded market, this conversation delivers raw, tactical insight from one of the most trusted voices in modern business.
