Darren Burn is the founder of Out of Office, a specialist LGBT travel company, and owner of Travelgay.com - the world’s biggest LGBT travel website.

Before he became a travel business owner he was a journalist for ITN for ten years and we dig into how the lessons and skills he learned in his first career have helped pave the way for success in his travel exploits.

We also delve into the challenges of building a team and the benefits of diversity within it, how to navigate the world of investment and investors, and also how interviewing Janet Jackson remains his go to reference point whenever he comes up against a new challenge.

Darren’s got a really unique perspective on how he’s built the business and there are lots of fantastic takeaways in this conversation that any business owner will find useful.

Enjoy!
