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

"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 masterclass 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 Caligy, unblinded. Watch it. Why did magic help you? He told me magical word, "I'm going to give you two years.

You're a good dude. Life is has success, so I can make you, and everybody else around me, because you're going to do the same." "Do you think it would have been worse to fight Tyson

for three rounds or that ocean?" "I mean, I got a pretty back cut of my knee. I got a bruise on this knee, a swollen right toe." "This is the man, freeze-frameant. He's up on that surfboard.

Did you not do it?" "We got out there. Wasn't belong." And all of a sudden, we're chatting, like, hey, we have this idea about assistant, we're giving.

“"I think this all came about, so I cannot tell you, Bart.”

"Every single person in the world came together." And if that's not like a sea, I don't know what it is. Welcome to the Sean Caligy, 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 Caligy unblinded podcast?

For the second time. I don't know, celebrity whisperer. This is the dude. He reunited. reunite Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier.

Do you 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 arrest, Hulk Hogan soul, a dear friend of Darren's.

He once worked with the amazing panel Anderson for a long period of time.

I mean, the dude works now with magic Johnson, David Goggins. It's extraordinary human beings of all sorts and kinds. Charlie Sheen, he brought Ralph Machio to our 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 bestseller 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 got a galicomet blocks to talk about. But first, Darren, friends, welcome. Welcome. What are you doing in a great state of New Jersey? Yes, part two.

You're in the great state of New Jersey. Why you here? Well, I came to see you. I came to see my sister and a couple of friends.

And it's just an incredible weekend with you.

Awesome. Well, I thank you for that. And 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”

done like total like 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, I a few minutes ago, we're about to do this. So that's Darren, I get 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 the making eye contact with Darren and the camera. But yes, this crazy man crazier than anything ever did with substance is way back in the day. It's going into the rough violence Atlantic ocean with a blind man. And here, as you can see it,

a couple of punches from like a pile of creed meets Mike Tyson. He's also been 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? The pause 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.

What's sustainable giving philanthropy, taking this podcast to the moon, integrity and charitable contribution. But Darren surfing ocean, what's up? That the surfing was amazing. I mean, we tried to rerounds.

I think it was. We tried to 12 attempts. Do you think it would have been worse to fight Tyson for three rounds or that ocean? I mean, I got a pretty bad cut on my knee.

I got a bruise on this knee, a swollen right toe. I'm a little battered, but I mean, if the waves run, it's a strong probability of going on another, you know, round or dip. Yeah.

And here's Darren Prince. He's standing up. Look at this. This is the man. Freeze framing.

He's up on that surfboard. Did you not do it? We got we got up there. Wasn't the long and done. Eventually we got up.

“And I think if you can maybe give it a shot in the morning.”

Oh, yeah. A better look. So Mr. David Goggins, if you watch this, you may run ultra marathons.

You're an amazing human being.

But this brother battle said that edition. He's like a Navy seal out there. A Navy seal and training. So with everybody out there. We're super grateful.

And I want you to just get to bring present for a second.

“Like, what is it for you in the world that brings you here today?”

Are you just looking to skate for a minute? Like, all right, let's check something out here. Or is there something that's a more that you're seeking? Is it more financial abundance? Maybe it's more scaling leverage duplication.

Time freedom. You're burning the midnight oil, putting the time in. Or maybe it's more magic. It impact you want to create. What's it for you?

Just like bring that present quick visual of it. For Darren and myself. Or in the magic journey. And we'll talk about that in a second. The impact, the philanthropy.

But what is it for you?

“That brings you here because I believe you like turn your listening on.”

Like dial in at that level for this conversation and the more you're seeking. We're going to talk about us a little bit. But we're irrelevant. You're the star of this whole thing. Your outcomes.

Your needs. That's what this is all about. So thank you. So Darren, you've been through a lot in the past year. Since last week's book, you've lost your mom.

You've lost your beloved amazing dog.

And you just had a transition in your life from an amazing extraordinary woman as you say all the time. And please, brother, what's it like for you? Because people out there, they got challenges too. What's going on? And the whole thing on the 24th.

Yeah. And people's celebrity name drop. I know for a fact because I've had the privilege of speaking to a number of these incredible humans and putting some magic Johnson. These aren't names, they're in drops. He doesn't just make a little bit of money with them and do a service.

These are people that are near and dear to his heart and he's near and dear to theirs. And so I've met a lot of folks who name drop this man. And I've had the privilege of being like inside that circle. These people love him and he loves them. So please, the loss of Hulk Hogan as well.

Forgive me for not mentioning that, please. So, you know, I feel that I've filmed life in somebody that's a healer and that they're working on elevating myself each day to get closer to God and be more of service. And, you know, healings that I'm going journey for all of us. And, you know, I could have chose to, you know, focus on, you know, the bad of losing my mom and Hulk. And, my beloved Rodney, my dog from his 14 years.

And, you know, the heartache of a broken engagement with Nuts. But, because of the personal development work I've done. You got introduced to one of the key four memories of my Mount Rushmore of personal development launch last night. What's up, launch? You know, I do a lot of breath work, a lot of meditating, grounding.

I've got my 12-step recovery, spiritual meetings right at the top. It's my evening high, foundation and serving others that are needed substance abuse. Every day people is both veterans that we fly in. I just think that my buddy Brian, you spoke to Marty this morning. Another good friend of for that frequency work.

I just think this world sometimes we just get wrapped up from the neck up and what's going on in life.

“And I think we all have these tools for sure to change our perspective and perception.”

And look at every situation different and we're positive light of what we had. And not what we're losing or what we have and not what we're not getting. Amen. Now, for anybody like that you're a red alert or Spidey sensors or tingling, mine, tingle too.

I am always super concerned about authenticity and integrity.

We're not talking about Darren, but when I start hearing mindset work, breath work, frequency, imagery, visualization, shaman. I start to go like, like freak out, not because I don't believe in the power of mindset. The power of our neural connections, the possibility of creating these visions that come to reality. I do believe in that, but I also believe because it's a very subjective area

that there are so many people that are really not in progress. And even those that are leaning well are very unmasterful. So when Darren starts talking about that stuff and we hadn't kind of made that step forward, I know it's real with him because I know that not only does he get his mindset squared away and I'm blind to be called there are self mastery, but his influence mastery is at the highest level in the world.

With the most complex and challenging humans who have people coming at them from every single conceivable direction and his process mastery is extraordinary as well. Because he's also thinking about which yeses do I call as Darren's not out there talking to everybody. He's incredibly loving and remarkably intentional and boundary-filled. So when Darren starts talking about this stuff, I'm like curious, what does all that mean to him?

We've done a lot of beautiful things together whenever I go out to California...

We have breakfast with Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse with my daughter Selena and our last trip out to California.

“He's become a real friend and I use the word friend very cautiously.”

And I had a wonderful time at my friend and now you're friend Jay Shetty's house. Thank you. Yeah. But the Jay Shetty and you had the podcast and I thank you for that brother as well. And Darren came to our event for all these incredible speakers last October.

It was nine speakers. It was just a breakthrough event so it's helped us get this podcast. The number one and Apple business podcast. So, but... And I got into Rob.

Please. Do you know which sugar I Leonard? Yes. And we didn't expect this. This son of a bee, like mother effort, right?

Bring sugar I Leonard to dinner, a hero of mine. I'm out of my mind. I'm sitting next to sugar I Leonard pepper corn's restaurant. It would click like New Jersey. This, like, tiny little cool bar grill restaurant.

And, like, sugar-raised, like bumping into me and bumping into me. Like, we're, like, 12-year-old kids having fun. I've tears coming down my face thanking him for it. That's what this man's all about.

But we've never stayed over in the same place together.

So, when I heard about the breakup and my heart goes out to you and New Jersey. Right? The transition out of an engagement, whatever language is the you would use. And New Jersey is an incredible star and a hyper-talented person. So, it's Darren. You know, I was like, "Brother, you know, not in a way of like,

"Oh, like, let's go, like, roar like dudes and, you know, put women down and say, "Why, like, Darren's so right or anything. "Cause it's not like that for him." I said, like, I love you. Like, "Come to the Long Beach Island anytime you want to."

And very few people take you up on it. And Darren did. He's like, "I can't come this weekend. "But I'm up for next weekend." I'm like, "Yes." But he's actually going to come. So, Darren came down and I don't know. We're like, "Two dudes down here by ourselves."

And I'm like, "What are we going to do?" Right? Go out and like, you know, drink and drug. "Oh, we don't do those things." So, we decided to go out and have dinner and he's like, "You know, I got this great mindset work that I do."

I'm like, "Yeah, I hear you talk about it a lot like tell me." He's like, "Well, this guy's like a shaman." I'm like, "Oh, shaman." Okay. I'm like, "Oh, tell me more, brother. I love you." And I'm definitely not going to be rude or disrespectful.

He's like, "Let me call him." I'm like, "Oh, my God." He's going to call a shaman. I'm going to, like, this is the stuff I make fun of, not all the work. But if how much, like, wackiness is in these spaces,

I'm like, "Okay." And the guy's like, "Flessing's brother. I am launch." And I'm only slightly exaggerating. I'm like, "Oh, my God."

And then, like, three hours later, I feel like I had a new, amazing friend in launch. And launch took me through one of his sessions, and I've done a lot of work, my entire life.

Like, if you, I've never done plant medicine.

I've never done a drug. But I've done incredibly diverse mindset work. I'm all with back to my peak performance, baseball career in high school. It took me from not starting for a city

as a sophomore in high school, to a hundred offers from division one school by the end of my junior year. So I believe in imagery, visualization, the power of mindset,

but I also believe it's got to be connected to how to, I just talked to Sky. And like, this son of a bee again, just like what Sugar Ray Leonard, I'm here to serve him, and he delivers an amazing human to my life,

and an amazing experience. It always, in full transparency, what did I work on? I worked there on my pleasing. You know, I like to make people happy.

I like to say yes to people. And maybe just maybe I was pleasing Darren a little bit, and saying, "Yes, again, this life coach, Shama, due to the phone." And it was like, "Okay, I did it,

but I worked on that pattern." And it was a remarkable outcome, so I want to thank you, brother. And if you would mind sharing, I know some of this may sound like a step out there,

especially for the lawyers that are here, or talents that are here, financial service providers that are here, some of my more corporate types, maybe less for some of the coaches and trainers

that are out there listening. But I really stand in the space of Darren's commitment to his self-mastery,

“my language that hits, he'll give his language, right?”

Self-mastery, he'll be building master self,

and he's gotten incredible

instead of habits and routines and PS. Whenever people in the park are like, "Oh, tell me about your morning routine. I don't like that." Like, we need to be better than that,

and more than that. But Darren's authentically that a tremendous approach to beginning and ending his day, and I'm witnessing it now, and I'm not just hearing about it,

but I've witnessed it as we hang out in my homes down here. So Darren, what's that like for you, and anything you want to comment on, especially since I thought launch

might be a whack-a-do fraud, and he was anything-- And we're getting killed in tonight with him again. And we're going to go get back on with him. I'm getting like, "Holody, yes, everywhere."

But Darren, please. So, you know, I think consistency is a word that's not often used enough in life. And I don't believe in discipline.

“I think a lot of people can be discipline”

without consistency. So, you know, from me having 18 plus years

Or several years ago,

I wanted to do the deep in our work,

“and so now, like, my day start with 45 minutes”

of no contact. In fact, my day is at Jake Shettys. House, Jake told me he does 90 minutes. And I feel that when we can wake up-- In 90 minutes of no contact,

just please for these five or six minutes. So, Jake does 90 minutes. What is no contact? Basically, no contact to the phone whatsoever. Nothing to the outside world, no social media,

no emails, no phone calls, no taxes. So, he sits still up himself in the self-guided meditation. So, I, fortunately, have a launch. I want some month-ill. Make a brand new audio for me.

That one goes about 25 minutes. I do breath work. I launch a grounding metal to 500 lips on the jump rope. I'll read from, I'll read from my 12-step literature, recovery literature, which puts a strong emphasis on God

and serving others. I know it's working through character deep ass, because none of those are perfect. But it's also a limited-livenist, just unbelievable, authentic frequency of just, I am who I am.

And I don't regret anything. I don't regret.

“I really do better my book being arrested four times.”

In my 20-- when I was 21, for possession charge. So, my job is very successful. I was in possession to distribute a possession to give to friends.

You know, I just wanted to be back up with money, party, and whatever it might have been, just to get everybody together. And-- and then, by the way, started in the card, baseball or baseball card business.

As a 15 year old? 14. 14. And then, by the time, there's like 20-21, he's making how much money we're making.

I haven't been million a year.

I haven't been million bucks a year. He's crushing life. And he's developed problems with substance. Yeah. So, please, babe.

Yes. So, you know, I look back at all these moments in my life and then when I transitioned at a baseball card, I started booking autograph signings from a homin, Ali Magic Johnson, Chevy Chase, Pamela Anderson,

and gotten a lot of trouble during an FBI investigation. Very open about it. Got a felony charge for, I guess, in my own life, I thought the source I was dealing with on these autographs was legit,

and he was in, and I kind of gave them a story about the guy protecting him. Sort of blew up on my face, and was one of those transitional periods in life where Magic came to my rescue.

And Magic, meaning Magic Johnson superstar the Los Angeles Lakers, but I'm so grateful to Marin, has been on the unblinded podcast,

and we had an incredible time together.

Magic and I, he said some really beautiful things about me,

“and this place, that's what this man does.”

And remember, could you imagine, like, you're talking to Magic Johnson, who's a superstar in the world, Darren has a felony charge. Big challenges in the world.

Why didn't Magic help you? Do you think at that time? You know, we have this beautiful conversation, and my dad pushed me. My dad resting piece to speak to him.

And he's like, I thought being an agent, I had to go to law school for eight years, and my dad told me the power of influence, and said, "Life is bad who you know, and I'll let you know.

You have Magic and Joe Montana, and Ollie and Fraser goes, "Magic's the one that really, not that they all instantly am I, but he really stood by one and she talked about your vision."

And I was with him a few weeks later, and I told him I'm going to start my agency and he told me magical words that were when exactly like this, that I'm going to get you two years,

you're a good dude, and you may not mistake in the public eye, and I know all about making mistakes. Monus was a few years after his HIV announcement, and he goes,

"But if you don't use being those two years "springing all the celebrities you can "to really expand upon your agency, "you're not going to make it with the two years "because life is has success,

"so I can make you, "and everybody else around me "because you're going to do the same." And I'm going to be a success in the role of sports and entertainment.

They've never seen before fast forward.

You know, it's a multiple dollar empire, so I understood then. - There's no magic chance of valiant both eye billionaire. - Yes, so now I understood then. First off,

there's no judgment in Darren Prince's mindset because here is one of the all time great kings. Not judging me, understanding I made him a steak, I own it. I feel that if that moment in life never happened,

there's no way Prince Mark and group exists. You know, everybody's got to track record, everybody's got to pass. So once I got sober, obviously my agency started blowing up and exploding.

I wanted to do deeper work, because look, I'm not mentioning names. I don't call people I don't judge, but there's a lot of people on that frequency that are focused from this space,

and you can watch their social media, you can see them on stages and you can see it's all about the sales, and this, and that. And as somebody that's a healer, that lives in the frequency all day long,

I just get this feeling literally my nervous system. And I could tell you right away the real ones and the ones that aren't as authentic. Now look, I don't fault them

Because I guess they're helping certain people,

but for me it goes in this Twitter. Peace, happiness, happiness brings fulfillment brings abundance.

“And that's why I want to strive for every day of those four things.”

Awesome, I don't want to love hearing that for sure. So, and one of the things to have practical takeaways for you is when you're working with people, it's not about judging them, but it is about assessing performance.

So one thing is to say somebody is lazy, versus saying, hey, they didn't hustle on that play, and they consistently don't hustle. So you're not saying that they're lazy and judging them in a net,

but you're recognizing patterns and characteristics in people. And one of the patterns that Darren brings forward, and we talk about as the core beginning of the definition of integrity, is whether somebody is a net taker, or is behaving as a net giver with great patterns of consistency.

And of course, there's always situations in our life

where we could look back and say, I've received more than I've given. I often say this about Tony Robbins, that I still feel indebted to him for all the incredible things that he unlocked in my life, that it wouldn't have possible to unlock.

I feel indebted to my high school athletic coaches, that I still feel that I am so on the short side of giving to them. But that doesn't make me a net taker, right? Overall in life, and I hope that I'm seeing, I believe,

I am by most people that know me super well, as a tremendous net giver. So what Darren is looking for, what I'm looking for, first is for us to be net givers

and to find and surround ourselves, also with net givers, and this goes back to the beginning of the session. We're talking to Darren, he's coming here,

and a lot of people would be better, blaming, judgmental, frustrated, attacking, coming through any transition in relationship.

It's a very normal way people behave, not that guy. That guy couldn't have said more beautiful things about Nutsa. And that guy couldn't have been in a more positive way to give to me.

And I'm just here at the entire purpose of me being here. Wasn't even to do this. We had this set up, this couple of the team members, thanks Michael and I'll leave me in down here.

This was for me to film videos we had a film. And all of a sudden, we're chatting, I'm like, hey,

we had this idea about a sustainable giving, the podcast, a gala that we have coming up, you know, Darren's mission.

I'm like, do you want to do a podcast? Like, if we get out of the water, let's just go.

And he's like, yeah, let's go. And so that's how this came to be. But in between,

he's introducing me to his incredible life coach.

And I believe most life coaches are really sub-optimal. And I do coach people on their lives. But this is really tremendous work that we're doing in a much more masterful and deep level. And then he's just here,

making introductions, and talking about how to do things. And this is a man who's, hearts banged up. He said it really,

really, really challenging year.

“But that's what the patterns of someone behaving as a net”

giver look like. So for you to really think about, look around your life, not judging people around you. But having empathy for them,

but really hey, it's like, can they play quarterback? Can they play point guard? Hey,

are they behaving like a net giver? It's in that way. And if you're not clear on that, you can really have some pain and some heartache. And he's lots and lots,

I love the analogy on the takers and the givers. And I run a glass, but to new to readings that go, she's in our country, George has just had this incredible,

historic concert. Some are concerted. I mean, there must have been 10,000 people there, and she was buzzing,

and the content on her social media looks absolutely unbelievable.

And we always have these beautiful life talks,

because remember, we were besties, age and client for two and a half years, we've been cutting aged, and that came up,

that now the certain people, that ton of my life, we're doing inventory of a couple, people, that just feels like a hundred to zero

when they're taking to giving frequency. I'm okay, but it's 99 to one. Okay, I'll give 99 to a little bit of one once in a while,

but it's when the energy just starts going and being depleted, and to plead it, doesn't mean they're bad people. It just means they might not be my people.

Right.

“Where you have to start limiting the access to us.”

Doesn't mean I might not speak to them. I happen to see them a few times a year, but they're going to take me down from my frequency, rather than me bringing them up.

Yeah, amen. And so it's like, and we've been taught to be nice to people, to give people the benefit of the doubt, to we've been taught that if we don't have

strong clear and convincing,

Beyond the reasonable doubt,

proof,

“then we can't think somebody is not a net giver”

with the make excuses for other people,

and we don't, in this space, believe that at all. You know, if you're an animal in the wild,

and you hear a twig snap, he looks, you have to think there's danger. So we offer you an invitation to think, hey,

let's have unconditional love. Let's have unconditional respect. But unconditional love, unconditional respect, do not equal unconditional trust.

And what if trust is something that people earn as they go through stages? You have a five-year-old daughter, I've, you know, four children, 23, 24, 24, 26 and five,

and my children, whatever allowed to be alone with people. And because people didn't cross that trust barrier, and the only way, I would have crossed that trust barrier with people,

is if we had a camera on, they didn't know it, and they had a sustained amount of time with my child, not knowing the camera was there, that would be a relevant test to build trust,

“even if I loved and respected the person.”

So the invitation this conversation is to not feel, not, not be judgmental, but let's also not feel judgmental,

when we're deciding whether or not somebody is a quarterback, aka also known as a net giver. And based on like net giving net taking, we could then determine how much space this person could take up in our life.

And let's also determine, hey, are we net givers versus net takers? And my hallucination is that most of you out there watching this right now are actually a net giver at heart.

And maybe it hurt, maybe it beat up, and maybe that net giver makes you feel foolish and stupid. It certainly has me and it definitely has as brother as well.

But we always want to be net givers.

We just want to find our way to building our ecosystem with a lot more net givers. Not judging the takers, just building net givers around us, because that's how we merge ecosystems

and make one plus one equal a lot more than two, which is coming up in our conversation in a little bit, about we're up to about the Gallup, but any of us lots better. Yeah, I mean, I think we accept this perfect Sean,

but that's also why the personal development work. And the healing is so important because there's a lot of people that are givers and they're giving from a wrong place. They're giving for validation.

They're giving for a lack of. They're giving for a void. They might not have gone from their mother or father or unresolved trauma from relationships or friendships or businesses that they got screwed over.

You know, it's gotta be from an authentic place and understanding why we're doing what we're doing.

“And I think that's what I love about the work that I've done”

because I've picked certain relationships over the years that were meant to be.

You know, where I could have seen things coming

sooner, many years ago when I've done the work with launch-up pick, certain business associates that, you know, wanting something to work out so bad, it's going to be I stayed in it because my heart was a lot bigger than my brain expanding upon looking at reality.

Yes. And I think we're all a work in progress. And I think even something so simple is breath work for somebody. Breathing through your nose five minutes a day.

Five minutes a day. Put an eye mask on. You do nasal breathing for five minutes a day. And Darren's got some clear. He's got some clear nasal passages.
