Jared’s Bio: Jared Fracker
Jared Fracker is a skilled Sales and Leadership Coach with a passion for entrepreneurship and a proven track record of building successful businesses, starting with his first business built while attending Cleveland State University. Jared’s entrepreneurial spirit and hard work paid off, as he launched the business with no start-up capital through door-to-door marketing on Lake Erie’s shore in February to acquire his first 100 customers. The business continued to grow rapidly from there.
A few of Jared’s accomplishments include:
Business grew to seven figures annually in less than five years.
Business was recognized nationally by Vault as #1 for “Leadership Development.”
Took top producers on trips annually to Cancun, Las Vegas, California, and Canada.
Through his experience as a business owner, Jared developed a love for building teams and hiring top producers who fit the culture of the business. He understands the importance of company culture and believes that it’s the foundation for success. Jared’s expertise in sales, hiring, and team building has helped him build successful sales teams and develop strong leaders throughout his career.
Now, as a Sales and Leadership Coach, Jared is committed to helping his clients achieve their goals and develop the skills they need to succeed.

Jared’s coaching philosophy is grounded in the belief that hard work, dedication, and a growth mindset paired with an impactful mentor are the keys to success.
When Jared isn’t working, he’s often taking on life with his significant other Cassidy, playing his guitar, listening to audiobooks, or challenging himself with a tough video game. One of Jared’s most treasured hobbies, however, is taking his dog Lily on long walks and adventures. He’ll often spend his weekends with Lily and Cassidy, exploring new trails and parks, taking in the sights and sounds of the great outdoors. Jared believes that these moments of relaxation and rejuvenation are just as important as his work, and he strives to bring a sense of balance and joy to every aspect of his life.
He’s also passionate about serving the community, attending church on Sunday, connecting with friends and loved ones, and he believes that strong relationships are essential to a fulfilling life. Whether it’s business, hobbies, or relationships, Jared brings the same level of passion and dedication that he brings to his coaching practice.
About your host: I’m Drew Deraney, the proud father of three children. For most of my life I’ve been concerned with what people thought of me and how I was supposed to act. I learned not to be my authentic self and instead became a people pleaser, a man wearing a mask.
In a 9-month span a few years ago, I endured four faith-shaking life events that caused me to question my existence.
I became determined to find a better way to live. Through intense self-reflection and awareness, I realized that in order to be happy, I must adhere to my standards of honesty, integrity and truth and needed to break free from the belief system that was anchored in me for close to 50 years.
I found my purpose and my mission in life. I’ve now become the man I know I am meant to be. My mission is empowering men ready to make a change to do the same.
My men’s group and one-on-one coaching provide a safe space for men to share, without judgement, and transform. My male clients learn to release their inner greatness and stop self-sabotage, the #1 roadblock keeping them from reaching their goals.
