Background

About Daren Colbert

I got my start in writing the way all the greats do.Getting ratted out by my classmate.Back in elementary school, my friends and I ran an underground comic book ring. We drew panels during class, illustrated our classmates as the characters (sometimes a bit too vividly), and shared our “issues” during recess. One day, Lauren decided we were a little *too* creative for our own good. We were shut down before we could hit mass distribution.But the spark stuck.In 2015, I turned to Instagram. I spent my days posting minimalist poetry, with the goal to simply write how I felt and give voice to anyone who might feel the same. Four years later, that turned into a community of readers. One follower even tattooed one of my poems on her ribs.That’s when my "oh sh*t" moment finally came. That these words did a whole lot more than tell stories. They built relationships—made connections that cut through the superficiality we often associate with social media.Now, I use those experiences and passion to create content for B2B leaders and brands who want to strip away the BS and get down to brass tacks, the kind that builds connection and makes people buy. Outside of writing, I love reading—especially thrillers and detective novels. That, and being a dad to the coolest toddler on the planet. If you’re someone who still believes good content should *feel* good (and not just check a box), we’ll probably get along great.And if you're still reading this, let’s connect. Worst case, we trade memes and childhood trauma. Best case, we work together and make something pretty freaking cool.
