About your host: Drew Deraney is the proud father of three, and for most of his life he was concerned with what people thought of him and how he was supposed to act.

In a 9-month span a few years ago, he endured four faith-shaking life events that caused him to question his existence.

Drew was determined to find a better way to live. Through intense self-reflection and awareness, he realized that in order to be happy, he must adhere to his standards of honesty, integrity and truth and needed to break free from the belief system that was anchored in him for close to 50 years.

Now a Self-Discovery Coach, his men’s group and coaching provide a safe space for men to learn to tap into their natural power through self-discovery to lead their life, write their story and live the life they want to live. Drew is the podcast host of “From Caving in to Crushing It” and the author of the #1 International Best Selling book I’ll Have What She’s Having – Memoir of a Reformed People-Pleaser.
