What does it take to transform from top sales gun to exceptional sales leader? Darren Mitchell knows firsthand – and he’s on a mission to prove sales leadership isn’t about ego or spreadsheets. 

Voted one of Australia’s top 20 sales influencers, Darren shares how he ditched engineering dreams, fell into sales during Australia’s recession, and never looked back. He reveals why the best salespeople often make the worst leaders, why servant leadership trumps bravado, and how preparation – years of it – beats credentials every time.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
