DAREN DRAKE, is a busy guy, who thanks to the internet, can enjoy the lifestyle of rural America and still connect to the world. He started out his journey in Cuba, Missouri. Out of high school, Daren enlisted in the Army as a military police officer. This early experience lead Daren into the lawn enforcement, which lead him to specialize as as a deputy coroner. Today, you can find him active in his church, working as a deputy coroner, working as a deputy sheriff and producing amazing podcasts. He is a busy guy so with out further ado let’s get right into the conversation.
BLUF: The problems you create, you cannot get out of by using the same kind of thinking used to create them . To change your life, you need to change your thinking. BOTTOM LINE UP FRONT QUESTIONS:
- Are you a MAC or PC? MAC all the way. He uses the iMac, Macbook Air, iPhone and iPad
- What is your favorite technology, hardware or software? iPhone. I am a MAC snob…didn’t use to be. FaceTime is amazing.
- What is your favorite quote? We can’t solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them – Albert Einstein, Quote #2 Change your mind, change your path.
- What are your favorite books? Bible, The other book is “The Power of Focus” by Jack Canfield
- What is the best advice you have ever received? Take care of yourself and your family first. Physically, financially and spiritually.
MY FINAL THOUGHTS: Daren can live in a small town, yet he is connected into the world through the internet. He can do just about anything, yet still have the life style found in rural communities and is very busy guy, in his church, his family, work and podcasts.
Administrative notes, I have some new equipment and I am using an iMac to now produce Timelines of Success but still switching out equipment for my field recordings. During this recording, I was going to use my field microphone but did not designate it on system preferences on the iMac but instead you are listing to my voice recorded through the built in microphone and it is a bit tinny. I was too worried about Darren’s sound because he only gets 4 to 5 mbps and did not focus on my sound and Darren sounds great!
