In this episode of The Business Coach Podcast, business coach Darien Jay opens up about his journey from running two companies to discovering the transformative power of coaching. After experiencing burnout and uncertainty in his consultancy firm, Darien found clarity and growth through the mentorship of ActionCOACH’s Tom Orchurch. He explains how shifting from “working a job” to building a business with purpose reshaped his outlook—and why concepts like exit planning, future visioning, and Jocko Willink’s principle of extreme ownership are crucial for long-term success. Darien also shares how adopting responsibility over blame, denial, and excuses can unlock breakthroughs not only in business but in life.
