From overdose to agent of legends—Darren Prince doesn’t just represent stars like Magic Johnson, Hulk Hogan, and Charlie Sheen... he protects them, fights for them, and walks with them through hell and back. In this deeply personal interview, Darren opens up about surviving addiction, rebuilding his life, and becoming one of the most respected agents in the business. You’ll hear how he built a billion-dollar roster, stayed sober for over 16 years, and why real relationships—not fame or money—are the key to everything.
