Be the Billboard
OVERCOMING OBSTACLES TO CREATE YOUR IDEAL LIFE

“Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life, son.”
— Dean Vernon Wormer, Animal House

Be The Billboard is an inspiring access to personal and organizational change that begins by considering the “billboard” that all of us are, and will be in the future. Are we an example? Or a warning?

Be The Billboard is more than just personal transformation; it is also a vehicle to inspire change in others, especially within organizations, families or teams. You don’t need to be a celebrity for your face to grace an important “billboard” and to stand for something that matters for reasons much larger than individual benefit.

Most importantly, Be The Billboard isn’t just future-based; it’s not next year’s car or next season’s new clothes. We are all already being a billboard for something. All of us go through life as an example or a warning. What’s on your billboard? What do you want it to be? Be The Billboard will ensure that those answers will be in total alignment, effective right now.

Audiences will learn:

The one mental condition that must exist before any meaningful change can happen (and how to create that condition before they leave the room);

New distinctions in changing thinking;

How to outgrow problems, transcend them, and ensure they don’t reappear starting right now, today;

You hit rock bottom when you stop picking up the shovel to start digging again. Why not starting again is more important than stopping in the first place;

Why “action” is the magic word, and how to effectively remove all obstacles which have existed in the past:

How the concept of legacy can be a powerful tool to create change, and more importantly, how to use it with velocity;

And much more!

Inside the Devious Mind
LESSONS LEARNED FROM THE RICH AND INFAMOUS

Many people actively seek out life’s best practices – distinctions, corrections, and “life hacks” that produce extraordinary results. But what can we learn from those who are actively engaged in life’s worst practices? What lessons can we take from those who participate in extreme forms of criminal misbehavior? There are over 12 million arrests each year in the United States, and no one better than Darren Kavinoky to take us inside the mind of this population.

Darren is the creator and host of the hit crime TV show Deadly Sins, which is now in its fourth season on Investigation Discovery. He is also the Criminal Interventionist on Breaking Point, an unscripted intervention show on Investigation Discovery that features Darren producing decisive moments of change in the lives of criminals. Darren appears constantly on TV and radio, including the Today show, The View, Entertainment Tonight, The Insider, Dr. Phil, various programs on CNN, HLN, Fox News, and countless other shows.

But what makes Darren especially qualified to share insights about criminal misbehavior is not just his professional interest; it’s that he’s worn handcuffs too. Once an overweight kid from an unstable family, he went on to suffer from his own addictions that plagued him for many years, and led to five arrests in three different countries. To call his downward spiral a “bottom” is a gross understatement; Darren lost everything. But in May of 2000, after two decades of battling his demons, he experienced a pivotal moment. Since then, the kid who wore “husky” sized Toughskins has completed seven Ironman triathlons. The bankrupt and homeless attorney who swept floors in a furniture store created several multi-million dollar businesses. As an interventionist, a lawyer, and as a keynote speaker, Darren is now obsessed with helping people and organizations produce their own pivotal moments that are just as powerful and sustainable.

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. once said that “There is some good in the worst of us and some evil in the best of us.” Inside the Devious Mind allows audiences to recognize critical best practices by learning about some of the worst behavior ever recorded.
