Helping Men Get Back Into Employment - It's Darren Tate & His Charity, Suitability


Listen Later

We live in a world where so many people dream of nothing but big incomes, big houses and fancy cars.

But there are some people, like my latest guest Darren Tate whose biggest goal is to help others and make the world a better place….and he is doing just that.

By day, Darren works for a local charity helping people with mental and physical barriers and by night, he runs his own charity which aims to help unemployed men get back into employment by providing free interview clothing and advice.

I wanted to get Darren on the show to share with us why he started this wonderful charity last year and to find out how COVID has affected it.

(00:37) Darren talks us through his day job and how he got his idea for his own charity - Suitability.

(2:33) How does Darren fund his charity? 

(3:40) How has lockdown affected this new charity and peoples generosity?

(08:45) The power of social media.

(10:04) What has been Darren’s biggest challenges aside from COVID? 

(14:18) Darren is about to go on to a mentored course to help with scalability.

(17:31) Keeping yourself focused and mentally resilient is imperative when running a business. Darren explains how he keeps himself both mentally and physically strong, to help him cope with the business life.

(19:54) Darren is a member of Good Gym - a community of runners that combine getting fit with going good for others - there is no end to this man’s goodness! 

(22:41) if Darren could go back to October 2019 to when the business started, what advice would he give himself?

(25:50) How does Darren define success?
