“You’re only as good as your last deal”

That’s how my very first podcast guest Daryn Mason describes the fast-paced, high-pressure world of software sales, which he’s now left behind in favour of counselling and psychotherapy.

After he left school with no meaningful qualifications, Daryn taught himself to programme and worked his way up to executive level in one of the world’s largest software and cloud computing companies. In 2022, he published his long awaited book, “Deal Crash”.

After a successful corporate career, Daryn is on the brink of embarking on his new career following a three-year Masters course at the University of Abertay in Dundee, Scotland.
