“I think a really important thing, something I learned later in life is you know, probably having tough conversations before you get married. You can have a tough conversation maybe even before you get serious.” “Make sure you surround yourself with the right people. So that you can absorb the right ideas. You know, because like you’re gonna interact with so many different people and so many people are gonna have an opinion about what you’re good at and what you should do and who should hang out with and what we should eat and watch and all this stuff. Some of that is great information. Some of it’s well-intentioned, but it’s crappy information.” Mark and I talk about relationships, children, challenges and. Of course, Fatherhood.

Drew challenges them to reach deep inside and make a lasting impact.
In a 9-month span, Drew experienced a grueling divorce, job loss, his son’s suicidal ideations, and his father’s death which devastated Drew emotionally, mentally, physically, and spiritually.

With more clarity of purpose than ever, he began asking for help. Drew Deraney’s mission is to help especially men, release their inner greatness by showing vulnerability, keeping in integrity of their power, and making a great impact on the people in their lives both personally and professionally.
