Doug Ferrier: The Day I Almost Took a 14 Story Swan-Dive

Doug didn’t grow up in what would be called a ‘traditional’ family dynamic. He also lost his father at the age of 12 and it changed the trajectory of his life. As he battled drugs and alcohol, his inner, hurt child got buried while his anger grew.

By the time he was 37, he had been through 2 failed relationships and was struggling with his demons. He found himself on the edge of a 14-story building contemplating his swan-dive. The thought of growing up without his own father and what that would do to his own children helped him take a step back, instead of forward off that building. He was able to address the issues that had driven him to this point and start to heal.

Now, Doug is on a mission to help others heal and avoid their own version of a 14-story building. He is an entrepreneur, speaker, and coach, but more importantly, a loving husband and father. He has transformed his pain and turned it into a passion for helping others

About the Podcast

A Warrior's Spirit
Where Inner Warriors Shine In Their Light
Warriors aren't born, they're forged in the fires of challenge.

Every setback, every struggle, is a hammer striking the anvil of our character. Warriors don’t just conquer the world around them; they face the shadows within. They wrestle with doubt, fear, & insecurity, emerging not just stronger, but more compassionate.

Imagine a warrior who fights not just for personal glory, but for a cause greater than themselves. They lead by example, showing us that strength is not just about power, but about lifting others up.

It’s about turning pain into purpose and struggles into stories of resilience. Each challenge we face is an opportunity to grow, to transform our lives and the lives of those around us. When we embrace our struggles, we become part of a community of warriors, united in our quest for strength and compassion.

It’s not the fight that defines us, but how we rise from it.
Let’s share our stories, inspire one another, and keep the spirit of the warrior alive.

Daryl Snow

As a keynote speaker, podcaster, and transformational growth consultant, I’m a passionate advocate for personal and professional growth. By sparking the desire to change from within, both individuals and organizations can reach their full potential.

Imagine unlocking a treasure chest overflowing with life's greatest joys! That's what awaits when we turn inward and explore our mindset. By simply becoming aware of our thoughts and beliefs, we unlock the key to lasting positive change. This journey within opens the door to experiencing all the happiness life has to offer.

Fueled by the belief that continuous learning is key to making lasting change (after all, if you stop learning, you stop growing!), I help others to embrace a new mindset, cultivate valuable life skills, and step into living a more authentic life.

While leveraging over 40 years of knowledge and practical insight has helped me to decipher what is, and what is not being said, it is the ability to simplify complex situations that has truly increased the level of understanding that my audiences and clients have experienced.
