Having dropped out of high school twice, owning his own business wasn't something that Darren even dreamed of as a kid. Working part time jobs for most of his young career, Darren was trying to figure out how to balance his family and social life. Once he did that, he was able to really understand what it took to compete in the sport of bodybuilding. So much so that he competed in several shows.
How do you go from competitive bodybuilder to owning your own business was the question. For him it was a leap of faith. For Darren it began with setting up a mini store inside a gym where he and a buddy would sell supplements. This amidst the 2010 recession which made it all that more remarkable. With some mistakes along the way and accepting that there is a learning curve, Darren now owns two NutriWolf Retail stores in NY. Specializing in supplements, meal prep and smoothies, Darren has now come a long way from setting up shop inside gyms.
"You have to take risks" according to Darren if you want to be an entrepreneur and willing to accept mistakes along the way. That is part of the responsibility of owning your own business. But for him, the journey was worth it.
