Recorded on January 3rd, 2023, this episode of Off The Script introduces Darren’s Notes—a new segment focused on raising awareness about sports, athletes, and the real human cost behind our entertainment.

The conversation comes in the immediate aftermath of DeMar Hamlin’s cardiac arrest during a nationally watched game, at a time when playoff implications led some critics to argue that the game should continue, dismissing concerns around player mental health and well-being.

Darrell and Darren unpack that moment, discussing sports culture, public pressure, and how easily humanity can be overshadowed by results and revenue. The episode also weaves in ongoing job struggles, workplace pressure, the difficulty of getting work done while being squeezed from all sides, and a reflective look back at racism and Darren’s past experiences working in sales.

This episode blends sports, work, and lived experience—connecting moments that reveal how systems often value output over people.

This isn’t a polished strategy session. It’s the raw process—thinking out loud, exploring options, and trying to find direction when the path isn’t clear yet. If you’re interested in how ideas form, evolve, and sometimes change completely, this episode gives you a front-row seat.

Recorded on January 1st, 2023, this episode of Off The Script centers on a breaking point.

Darrell talks about his job at the time and an incident where the entire team was cussed out—an experience that sparked deeper frustration and raised serious questions about leadership, accountability, and workplace culture. Darren and Darrell unpack what happened, why it happened, and how moments like these reflect leadership failures rather than team failures.

This conversation goes beyond venting. It’s about understanding how leadership responses can either stabilize a struggling environment or make it worse—and why leaders should step in to support, guide, and fix problems instead of escalating them.

Unscripted. Honest. And rooted in real workplace experience.
