Darryl Stinson – 2 Mil+ View TEDx Speaker, Mental Health

Darryl is an entrepreneur, pastor, speaker, and, most importantly, a suicide survivor.

He played defensive end at Central Michigan University from 2008-2011.

He attempted to take his life in 2011 due to a severe career-ending back injury.

Through a life-changing experience at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit, MI, he got a second chance and came to believe that my life mattered.

He began the arduous journey of discovering what was my purpose in life.

After five years of research, meditation, workshops, and cross-examination, he found my highest (unique) purpose, and built a life he loves waking up to experience each day.

He became passionate about helping others, specifically athletes and entrepreneurs change the world by finding their (unique) highest purpose and building thriving careers and businesses.

He’s the founder of SecondChanceAthletes.com, a holistic athletic transition service for current, former, and forgotten athletes.
