Darin's Bio:

Darin Kinder is a former Special Agent of the United States Secret Service, where he spent decades protecting world leaders and navigating high-stakes environments. On September 11, 2001, he was on the ground in New York City when the World Trade Center was attacked—an experience that earned him the Secret Service Medal of Valor and forever shaped his perspective on life and leadership.

Beyond his federal service, Darin is a devoted husband, father to four sons, and the founder of Fierce Faith, an organization dedicated to helping people live with courage and purpose. He is passionate about inspiring and equipping the next generation to face challenges head-on and live with bold resolve. A sought-after speaker and podcast guest, Darin shares his insights on leadership, resilience, and what it means to live with clear purpose in an unpredictable world.

When he's not challenging audiences to live boldly, you'll find him at home investing in his wife—his partner since 1998—and their four sons.​

Darin is a graduate of James Madison University and spent 25 years as a US Secret Service Special Agent. He loves the mountains, baseball, and any adventure that calls for courage and grit.

Vulnerability. Some say its weak. But why? Vulnerability, when done in a real way, is something today's guest Sean Conlon talks about as the way he wins at home and at work. Its listening to God's voice, listening when he calls us out. And then listening to him and trusting him to lead you through.

Sean's Bio:

I'm just a guy trying to faithfully follow Jesus while building meaningful companies. For a long time…

I believed there had to be a tradeoff between deep faith and meaningful ambition. Either you were serious about God…Or serious about business.

Over time, I've learned that isn't true. I don't think discipline, consistency and excellence are in conflict with faith…I actually think they're evidence of it.

One of the ways that belief has been formed in me is through a simple daily commitment that the Lord called me to do back in 2019. For over six years now...I've done a 5K every single day without missing one. And it's become a daily reminder that discipline compounds, obedience is built in the ordinary and consistency shapes who we become.

I spend my time building and acquiring businesses through 25|29 Ventures...where we focus on developing leaders and stewarding the resources God has entrusted to us. And my primary focus is creating environments where people grow stronger physically, mentally and spiritually.

Which leads me to a faith and fitness movement that we are building called PaidFor…

We help people train daily, live intentionally, and show up with clarity and conviction in every area of life. What started as a personal pursuit of discipline has turned into a growing community centered on consistency, community, and purpose.

Along the way, I share openly about leadership, discipline, entrepreneurship, faith, and the lessons learned in the process. Not from a place of having it all figured out...but from the middle of the work in the trenches.
