About the Author
Author Darren J. Squire believes in achieving the utmost potential in this life that the Lord has given us. He realizes that discovering much of the world around us all, understanding it’s fundamental principles, then properly applying them helps lead to a successful life. Having done this himself, he hopes to encourage others to do the same.
Darren has long been an enthusiast of experimental ideas and has found particular admiration for the world of improv comedy. The remarkable ability of improv comedians to summon spontaneous creativity and bring laughter to a diverse audience has left a lasting impression on him. He believes that in the present day, the world could benefit from more laughter and cheerfulness, something that seems to be in short supply.
Reflecting back to a conversation he had twenty years ago with a doctor he worked alongside, a highly accomplished and credentialed individual who expressed a sense of unfulfillment in his life, Darren was deeply impacted. The doctor had once admitted that if given a second chance, he would have pursued a career in filmmaking to spread joy among people. This statement lingered in Darren’s mind, resonating strongly with him.
Around eleven years ago, a health scare involving his father, who needed a cow valve due to a heart condition, threw Darren’s life into turmoil. To alleviate the stress during this challenging time, he resorted to teasing his father with cow-related humor. Over the years, family and friends joined in, creating a lighthearted atmosphere. This playful experience remained a fond memory and resurfaced in Darren’s thoughts in 2019, reminding him of his friend’s advice
It wasn’t until 2021 that Darren had a revelation. He realized he needed to stop procrastinating and take concrete steps toward realizing his vision. Although he encountered numerous setbacks, including complications related to his involvement with Ukraine, his project ultimately succeeded. In many ways, it serves as a tangible testament to the advice he once received, temporarily forgot, but ultimately remembered.
