What happens when the thing you love becomes the thing that nearly destroys you? That’s the tension at the heart of Darren Hickman’s story.

Darren grew up surrounded by creativity and independence, eventually building a career in advertising and launching ventures in organic skincare and renewable tech. But behind the passion and drive was an obsession that nearly cost him everything — his health, his relationships, and his sense of purpose.

In this conversation, Darren shares how sunlight became more than just energy for him. It became a guide — in his business, his creativity, and his personal reinvention. This episode is about clarity, obsession, and finding new meaning when the drive to succeed goes too far.

For founders and creatives alike, it’s a story of resilience, curiosity, and the courage to start again.

You’ll learn:

Why obsession can fuel innovation but also threaten balance

The hidden toll of entrepreneurial drive when left unchecked

How clarity and curiosity can reshape a career path

Why independence and creativity are worth protecting

How sunlight became both a metaphor and a mission in Darren’s work

This is a masterclass in turning obsession into clarity and transforming setbacks into new beginnings.
