Description
Aiming High is the astonishing story of sports and celebrity agent Darren Prince, who battled addiction while representing some of the most iconic figures in the world. After a drug overdose, many demoralizing nights, and mornings where he couldn't get out of bed without a prescription in hand, Darren hit rock bottom at the top--and in the process discovered the true meaning of success.
Advance Praise
“You will find Darren to be a force to reckon with. In spite of his prowess, a more powerful process nearly claimed him as it has so many. Now that same spirit, fully engaged in a program of recovery, is thriving and inspiring others to join in something greater. Aiming High shows how he got there.”
Dr. Drew Pinsky, Addiction Specialist and creator of Celebrity Rehab
“It’s been a pleasure getting to work with and know Darren the past 15 years. Aiming High is very inspiring and shows us all it’s never too late to make changes in ourselves.”
Roy Jones Jr., Pound for Pound Boxing King and Nine-time World Champion
“To go from being such a prominent figure in the nightlife scene to such an outspoken advocate in recovery is no easy transition, but Darren Prince has done it. Aiming High is a testament to a man whose journey defies logic.”
Noah Tepperberg, co-owner, Tao Group
“Darren Prince does everything with passion—whether it’s nurturing his relationships, blowing up his business, or committing himself to his recovery. Aiming High shows that you can always change everything.”
Jason Strauss, co-owner, Tao Group
“Darren and I accomplished history together when our friends and clients, Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier, reunited in 2002 after eight years of us working together behind the scenes to make it happen. This was one of the most significant accomplishments for us both. Together, we did many great things personally and professionally. It saddened me to learn of the years of suffering Darren endured with his addictions and not being able to open up to me about them. However, it’s amazing for me to reflect back now on what he accomplished, and I’m very proud of him and this incredible story.”
Harlan Werner, Sports Placement Services
“I’ve known Darren for many, many years, and he’s one of the best people I’ve met in the business. Yes, Darren has been successful representing athletes and celebrities for close to 25 years, but to me, it’s his journey through spiritual sobriety and helping others that’s his biggest accomplishment.”
Larry Rudolph, Music Manager and Entertainment Entrepreneur
“Throughout Darren’s spectacular career, I have been with him for his highs and his lows. The one thing, however, that has remained constant is his loyalty, dedication, and love for his family, friends, and superstar clients. I am confident that his journey will continue to be just as fruitful, sharing his message of hope and recovery with those in need. Aiming High is that message.”
Ryan Schinman, Entertainment Marketing Guru
“Darren Prince is a recovery rock star. His story pushes the limits on what’s possible on the other side of addiction. Inspiring, witty, and brutally honest...Aiming High is a must read.”
Ryan Hampton, Recovery Advocate and Author of American Fix: Inside the Opioid Addiction Crisis—and How to End It
“Aiming High is a wild ride. Darren Prince is the quintessential story of redemption and success. I’m proud to call him a friend.”
Garrett Hade, Recovery Advocate
“Darren is a person who followed his dreams and built not only a top-notch marketing business but a high-end drug addiction. His life’s success was almost taken all away, but the gift of recovery came in. Today, Darren is what long-term recovery is all about. The success within leads to the outward success. I am blessed to have him in my circle of life.”
Tim Ryan, Author, star of A&E’s Dope Man, Speaker
“Darren Prince courageously speaks his powerful truth of redemption from the leading cause of death in America for those under fifty. Resulting from the shame associated with addiction, most of those affected stay quiet, hidden, and marginalized. In Aiming High, Darren does what he always has done, he breaks the mold.”
Greg Williams, Filmmaker of The Anonymous People & EVP of Facing Addiction with NCADD
