Flight Path to Inspired Living with Darren Pleasance

Bend Magazine's The Circling Podcast with Adam Short

With each chapter of Darren's life, we uncover the profound impact of shared experiences and the serendipitous twists that alter our trajectories. From navigating the breath-taking Alaskan skies to the boardrooms of global consulting firms, his memoirs are a mosaic of moments that highlight the art of traveling through this life with a stepping stone approach. This dialogue is a masterclass in embracing the unexpected, a testament to the resilience that shapes not just a career, but a life brimming with purpose and excitement.
Closing the gap between past and future, Darren's narrative weaves a tale that is both a reflection on gratitude and an anticipation for what lies ahead. His story is not just an account of a life well-lived but an invitation to craft our own, with intention and authenticity. Buckle up for a ride that explores the very fabric of an inspired life and that was the inspiration behind his new book, True North; A Handbook for Inspired Living.
