"Careers are over now. I don't want to have a career. I want to have

some kind of life. I want to be alive while working." 

- Darren Smith

La bienvenida a gente guapa! Welcome beautiful people to episode #11 of

#DOUGIT with Darren Smith. Truth be told, this is actually the first

episode of the podcast. Darren was kind enough to sit down for a chat with

me over a cup of tea and toast at the start of the year as a trial

run/chat. Recorded this bad/interesting boy on the iphone off the cuff

after a yoga sesh with the man himself. 

D-Money, aka Darren, is a very smart dude of a dude and his story parallels

mine quite closely. We grew up together going to the same primary,

intermediate, and high school and spent much time battling on the chess

board and cricket field. And ended up both transitioning to teaching Yoga

at the same time after much time apart and corporate careers...
