  • Finding peace

    My teacher Davidji recommended I connect with Donny Starkins. I’m a retired professional athlete with a high DI profile (DISC) and my brain code is ENTP. I get bored and angry easily when I’m not aligned with my path. Donny’s voice of reason, easiness and sharing of his story of triumph and pain is a God send for me. I believe we need stories and people to sit with us as we adjust, reset and regain our clarity. Thank you Donny and Darrin. This podcast is GOLD for so many of us!

  • Inspiring and hopeful

    Came across this podcast randomly through ig, and I’m so happy it found me! Have been on a hope campaign to change my algorithm from one of just the daily atrocities happening in the world and finding this was a gem. I’m on a hunt for more content like this, because in a time like now. When hope seems impossible, it’s time to create some!

  • Waller Monotone

    I was surprised to find that Waller is so dry. I expected a dynamic personality, but it turns out that he brings nothing to a microphone.

  • Changed my perspective

    I am a fellow AA member since 2019 I was in rehab and have a similar story to that of Darren. I am beyond blessed to have found recovering athletes such as these two. These podcast shows have re-sparked in me a greater focus on my addiction recovery.

    I was clean for 2 years since 2019 and relapsed in 2021 but after hearing these podcast I was able to regain focus and clarity on what is it that I want to do in my life these two and all those interviewed have just been a blessing in my life God... more
