This week Andy Grant is joined by writer, Darnell Donerson, to share his very public quest for building his confidence. Andy first met Darnell thanks to his debut article for GoodMenProject, Developing My Confidence.
After years of struggling with his confidence, Darnell decided to turn his life around. Now he hopes to be a voice to help and inspire others.
“I got fed up with myself. Tired of being the victim.” ~Darnell Donerson
