#52 Chasing Your Why with Darren McCarty

Today on the show Jayson is talking with Darren McCarty, former forward for the Detroit Red Wings, and current host of the podcast Grind Time with Darren McCarty who he co-hosts with his friend Perry Vellucci. Darren talks about his days with the Red Wings and how he had to fight for his teammates and the entire city of Detroit when their backs were against the wall. He talks about the heated rivalry between Colorado and Detroit through the late 90’s and early 2000’s. Jayson and Darren talk about how you could have all the talent in the world, but if you don’t have the need to win, or succeed, then that talent means nothing. Someone who is less talented but works harder is going to win out every single time in the long run.   Links:    Follow True Underdog on IG: www.instagram.com/true_underdog Reach out to Jayson directly at [email protected] Follow Jayson on Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jayson-waller-/ Follow Jayson on Instagram: www.instagram.com/jaysonwallerbam Check out our website to meet the team, view show notes and transcripts: www.trueunderdog.com Apply for a chance to receive a $10,000 business grant: https://trueunderdog.com/underdog-achievers-program/   Mentioned in the Episode:   Darren’s Website: www.darrenmccarty.com Darren’s Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DarrenMcCartyOfficial/ Darren’s IG: https://www.instagram.com/realdarrenmccarty/?hl=en Grind Time’s Twitter: https://twitter.com/grindtimedmac25?lang=en   Timestamps:   1:49 - Detroit Red Wings 4:06 - Fight to Win 5:35 - Good Leadership 8:20 - Heated Rivalry 11:40 - Keeping Respect 14:12 - Never Quit Sobriety 19:53 - Hard Work Beats Talent 24:17 - Down to Fight 26:14 - Hitting the Bottom 31:03 - Getting Healthy 32:37 - CBD 36:09 - Learning to Run a Business 38:34 - Inspiration Behind Darren’s Podcast 41:13 - Darren’s Band 45:06 - Chasing Your Why Learn more about your ad choices.
