Darren Prince:From Addiction to Representing Legends Like Magic Johnson & Muhammad Ali |Sean Callagy

SPEAKER_1 (0:00)

The man who lost his mom, his dog, his engagement, and his best friend in one year showed up to surf the Atlantic with a blind unicorn founder. What came out of that ocean wasn't just two guys. It was a master class in net giving, sustainable giving, Dolly Parton, and why the greatest legacy isn't fame, it's that nobody complained when the flags came down.

Darren Prince and Sean Callagy, Unblinded. Watch it.

Sean Callagy (0:27)

Why did Magic help you?

Darren Prince (0:29)

He told me a magical word. I'm going to give you two years. You're a good dude. Life is how successful I can make you and everybody else around me because you're going to do the same.

Sean Callagy (0:38)

Do you think it would have been worse to fight Tyson for three rounds or that ocean?

Darren Prince (0:42)

I mean, I got a pretty bad cut on my knee. I got a bruise on this knee, a swollen right toe.

Sean Callagy (0:47)

This is the man, freeze framing. He's up on that surfboard. Did you not do it?

Darren Prince (0:52)

We got up there. It wasn't the long.

Sean Callagy (0:54)

All of a sudden, we're chatting. I'm like, hey, we have this idea about sustainable giving.

Darren Prince (0:59)

I think this all came up out talking about Dolly Parton. Every single person in the world came together.

If that's not legacy, I don't know what is.

Sean Callagy (1:14)

Welcome to the Sean Callagy Unblinded podcast, where we serve you in seeing what you may not be seeing about exponentially rising your money, your time, your magic. We are here with the one and only Darren Prince. Who is this guy? Why in the Sean Callagy Unblinded podcast for the second time? I don't know. Celebrity Whisperer? This is the dude. He reunited Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier. Do you know how crazy that is? What type of yes causing mastery that took, and he did it when he was high.

He was the man that Hulk Hogan looked to for advice, guidance, speaker, agency. Got to rest Hulk Hogan's soul, a dear friend of Darren's.

He once worked with the amazing Pamela Anderson for a long period of time. I mean, the dude works now with Magic Johnson, David Goggins, extraordinary human beings of all sorts and kinds. Charlie Sheen, he brought Ralph Macchio to this podcast before. He is a celebrity whisperer and whatever celebrities I say, there's a whole longer list, but much more importantly, he's from Jersey originally. He's not a Hollywood guy. Yeah, they took him from us, but the guy also is a philanthropist. His book Aiming High International Best Seller was all about his journey through addiction, 18 years of sobriety, that's what this man has, and his story continues with contribution and philanthropy through his Aiming High Foundation. We had a gala coming up, lots to talk about. But first, Darren Prince, welcome, welcome. What are you doing in the great state of New Jersey?

Yes, part two. You're in the great state of New Jersey. Why are you here?

Darren Prince (2:49)

Well, I came to see you, came to see my sister and a couple of friends, and it's just been an incredible weekend with you.

Sean Callagy (2:55)

Awesome. Well, I thank you for that. So what I want to show you right now is what Darren and I were doing a few minutes ago, because I think this is like we're just in like total chill vibe. That's our ocean out there. That's my backyard, by the way. We're coming from Long Beach Island, New Jersey, the heart and soul of my life, my family, and Darren and I, a few minutes ago, we're about to do this.

So that's Darren and I getting ready to hit the surf, and I surf a couple of waves, and then it was Darren's turn to go with a blind guy. If you don't know, I am actually blind. I'm making eye contact with Darren and the camera, but yes, this crazy man, crazier than anything ever did with substances way back in the day, is going into the rough, violent Atlantic Ocean with a blind man. And here, as you can see it, couple punches from Apollo Creed meets Mike Tyson. He's also done a lot of great things with Mr. Mike Tyson. Darren's getting bumped and battered, but you know what? Darren kept getting up. So Darren, what was the surfing like? What was that piece of the puzzle? We have so much to talk about today. Stay with us, because we're going to talk about how you get to meet somebody like Darren, how you create amazing things in the world, and how you rise your identity, because he started with super humble beginnings. It's a crazy story. We're going to highlight it very quickly, talk about where he is and where we're going from here, with sustainable giving, philanthropy, taking this podcast to the moon, integrously in charitable contribution. But Darren, surfing, ocean, what's up?
