About The RebelRebel Podcast
The RebelRebel Podcast is a regular dive into the hearts and minds of creative rebels and entrepreneurs from around the globe, and enjoys a passionate audience in more than 60 countries.
Past guests include the founder of Reebok, the woman who invented beeswax food wrap, the guy who dropped Hans Gruber off of the Nakatomi Tower in Die Hard, the dude who designed Predator, a cool cat who built DOOM, an award-winning director of Rick & Morty, a couple who runs one of the top motorcycle schools in Canada, the guy who started iStockPhoto, a best selling author or two, and dozens and dozens and dozens of other wild and crazy people who are out there doing it.
The RebelRebel Podcast celebrates creative rebels and entrepreneurs from around the world who are getting it done. They’re doing it. What is this “it” we’re talking about? It’s that thing that most people don’t do. You know. It. Yeah, that.
What makes these rebels do what they do?
We talk about life, the universe, and what makes us get up every morning with a bounce in our step … or how we claw our way across the kitchen floor to get that first cup of coffee. Sometimes, it’s about deadlines and exploring limitations, but mostly, it’s about challenging ourselves to make a difference and not play small.
Hosted by Michael Dean Dargie.

Calling all rebels!
Are you a creative rebel or entrepreneur itching to tell your story? Well, we love a great story and have a weak spot for those who say “fuckit” to the status quo.
If you are one of those rare breeds of humans who are out there “doing it” instead of just talking about it, we want to talk to you.
