THE CREDENTIALS SHOW

“The coolest thing I learned knocking on doors was that Jamie Foxx said in an interview his ability to speak in public came from his 2 years knocking on doors. He said it was the equivalent of a Master’s Degree in Communications.” 

In this episode of The Credentials Show, we are joined by Joey Darshan. Joey is a fraternity brother of our host, Charles, and his father told him at a young age to figure out how to get paid through brainpower and not through back power. The problem was he had nothing to focus his brain on. Now Joey is running the Darshan Group which is poised to become a Real Estate development company after successfully buying and selling a duplex for profit (he explains fully). To get to this point though it took a lot of failing forward because this wasn't Joey's dream plan all along. As he said in this interview, fear and insecurity was the main factor in pushing him to get started in real estate. Plus throughout the conversation, Joey shares specific books and podcasts that he was able to get ahold of along the way which was crucial to his development.

Other topics include:

• Self-awareness and Self-help
• The importance of F$%k Ups
• What creates Passion and Motivation
• Lessons from a salesman
• What high school activity altered his life trajectory

Plus much more.

QUOTE #1

And then when it comes to the football part, that's easy. I'm going to have really high standards. I'm not going to relent from my standards. So I want everybody in my room to be the best. We're going to be there ten minutes early into the meeting room. We're going to outwork every position group. Our mentality is going to be the best position group in the country. I'm not a yeller.

QUOTE #2

You're really just a product of your thoughts and your behaviors. What you think of yourself is what you are. It's that classic little picture I mean, you might have seen on Twitter or something like that. It's like a little kitten and he's looking in a mirror and in the reflection he sees like a lion or a tiger. That vision you have for yourself, really, that's who you are, regardless of what people tell you. So at some point you keep seeing a tiger. Hey, you might become a tiger regardless of what you are.

In this episode of THE CREDENTIALS, Malcolm Lemmons took time out of his schedule to talk about his second book, "Impact Beyond The Game", which is focused on sharing ways on how Athletes can build influence, monetize their brand, and create a legacy.

Malcolm is a former Division 1 Hooper who earned a scholarship as a 6'3 power forward in high school at Gonzaga Prep in DC. He went on to become an NAIA All American and Professional Hooper in Japan for a couple of years.

After his professional career, he began writing and eventually wrote an article for the Huffington Post about college athletes getting paid that ended up going viral. That article landed him opportunities to be on an ABC News outlet and TV One among other tv networks.

During our conversation we cover everything from, key factors to build a brand on social media, which platforms are best in 2021 for an online community, how Barry Bonds and Lance Armstrong can fix their image, plus why it is important for everyone to be building their brand.

Last but not least, we discuss Malcolm's new Initiative called Athletes Unheard which is all about Athletes and Mental Wellness. Malcolm opens up about his mental health challenges and what someone can expect from Athletes Unheard.
