What if your best marketing asset isn’t your funnel or ad spend — but your values?

Darren Magarro, founder and president of The DSM Group, joins me to unpack how he built one of New Jersey’s top marketing agencies from scratch — starting with just his gut instincts, a deep belief in community, and zero cold calls.

Darren’s story is raw, real, and refreshingly grounded. From walking away from Wall Street to scaling a multi-million-dollar agency in an industry obsessed with flash, Darren shares the mindset shifts, hiring mistakes, and personal breakthroughs that helped him build something sustainable, profitable, and purpose-driven.

📌 Topics Covered:

• Why DSM has never made a cold call — and still wins 6–7 figure clients
• The marketing industry’s biggest lies (and what clients actually want)
• How Darren built a resilient team culture rooted in trust and transparency
• What he’s learned about leadership, fatherhood, and legacy as DSM turns 17
