In this Mental Health Awareness Month special, host Thoryn Stephens sits down with celebrated sports & celebrity agent Darren Prince—author of the bestseller Aiming High and founder of the Aiming High Foundation—for a raw, inspiring conversation about turning adversity into purpose.

Darren shares his remarkable journey: from selling a baseball-card company for $1 million at 19 and representing icons like Magic Johnson and Muhammad Ali to spiraling into opioid addiction and hitting rock bottom in 2008. A single “God shot” set him on the road to lasting sobriety, service, and a new definition of wealth rooted in inner peace.

We unpack the exact micro-habits and protocols that keep Darren “uncommon among the uncommon,” including hydrogen water, grounding, frequency therapy, New Calm meditation, and a six-day-a-week workout routine—plus why he believes consistency beats discipline every time. Darren also reveals how his newly launched Aiming High Protocol on the Brain.One platform helps anyone build brain-first habits that ripple out to physical, emotional, and financial well-being.

Finally, learn how the Aiming High Foundation is funding treatment scholarships, and hear Darren’s challenge to help us reach one billion brains optimized.

Brain Fitness One is your go-to podcast for unlocking the full potential of your mind.
