Darius is a pro arbitrager, business consultant, and motivational speaker with 30+ years of entrepreneurial experience behind him. He has co-authored the book Leadership DNA, a USA National Bestseller that brings together expert insights on mastering the art of leadership. A self-made business guru, Darius has an impressive portfolio in the field of real estate, with operations that run into the billions, and he has advised top-ranking corporate leaders on deals worth $100B+. Darius’ journey to success has been far from easy, going all the way back to the social struggles he experienced growing up in inner city Chicago.

Having witnessed the hardships that still plague these communities, Darius is well-equipped to understand and help people overcome the struggles of drugs, gun violence, trauma, mental health, and social instability. His past difficulties have been instrumental in shaping his enterprising spirit, which he puts to good use as a philanthropist today to uplift people who need help, including small startups, women-led businesses, and young people seeking guidance for personal and professional growth.

On the podcast, Darius would love to talk about: The best ways to navigate adversity, overcome challenges, and develop a strong mindset to aim for success. Motivational tools to realize individual potential and level up, by breaking through past life challenges. The importance of having role models and how having people on your side keeps you moving on the right track. How to deal with personal failures (including substance abuse) and finding the will to survive. To get a sense of Darius, here’s a podcast appearance he made on Expert Talk with TGo, giving expert advice on how to develop a go-getter mindset. He also appeared on the Inclusivi-TEA Podcast to speak about his experience of surviving through struggles and establishing himself as a real estate pundit.
