Darren has also authored 8 books, including How I Build a $37Million Insurance Agency, The Icon Effect, The Takeo Effect, and Checkmate, just to mention a few.
I discovered Darren when I got into the insurance industry while reading his book. He’s a very open and easy to communicate with person. Darren joins us to share some key writings in his recent book, as well as his inspirations and lessons he’s learned throughout his life journey.

Notable Quotes
● A lot of the stories I use in my fictional writing are very autobiographically inspired. Art has imitated a lot of my life.
● We want people to think of our personal and business lives as being so shiny, perfect, and void of any flaws. And that’s just not the reality.
● There’s nothing more empowering than seeing a very successful person admit that life has not been so perfect.
● The fear for men is that if we admit that we’re unraveling inside, we fear that we’ll be judged. We fear that nobody would want to do business with us.
● Sometimes the hard time is what reconnects you with what’s important.
● There’s a difference between trusting that God is going to make all your dreams come true and truly submitting to God’s will and being okay with that.
