What if your biggest breakdown was really a setup for your breakthrough?
In this powerful episode of The Knowing Podcast, host Christene Marie sits down with Darryn Yates—musician, rebel, and transformational coach—to talk about the moment he found purpose in a parking lot with a 9mm. Darryn opens up about the darkness he overcame, how he reclaimed his identity, and why authenticity is the secret weapon for any visionary leader or creative.
This conversation dives deep into identity, reinvention, parenting, performance, and the painful-yet-powerful road to truly knowing yourself.
