Announcing
A Pathway To Success TV Show!
Life is always bringing forth new challenges, and as a result, I see my foundation growing, changing and evolving. As an individual committed to helping others, especially our youth, I am always looking for new and innovative ways to meet these challenges head on. I look to turn my life experiences into a template for success, a blueprint for others to follow. I have met many people along the way, and also tap into their knowledge generating a complete experience for anyone who participates in my foundation’s programs.
I am extremely excited to announce my latest endeavor –“A Pathway to Success” Television Show. My co-host, Alicia Evans and I will examine various aspects of success, break them down and deliver them in digestible manner where the principals demonstrated can be easily duplicated. I selected the concept of success because I look to convey the intangibles – the things that are often overlooked but are essential in fulfilling ones potential. The Darby Foundation promotes the book ends of literacy, education and of course golf, but there is that gray area that is often overlooked, things that are not necessarily taught at home or in a classroom. This is what I wish to emphasize.
My partner, Alicia, brings a world of experience in the field of communication. Where do I start? She is an adjunct Professor at City College, New York, where she is the one of the pioneer educators in developing and teaching social media curriculums. She is the CEO and Facilitator at The Living Room Experience(R) Talk Forum, where she is a developer and facilitator of national corporate talk forums targeting consumers, executives, trade groups, etc. Her vast knowledge and expertise coupled with my own drive, experience, and determination will make for excellent television.

The opening show will be taped at Roosevelt High School in Long Island. I plan to have a live audience for this show. Each successive episode of the show will be taped at a different Long Island location highlighting a different guest. We will be interviewing individuals who have exhibited varying levels of what is generally deemed achievement and accomplishment in their respective fields. Each guest will share their personal recipe for success. The hope is by the end of last episode, an outline of sorts will be created, one that can be referenced and used as a guide by the viewers. I want the viewers to ultimately feel like they can accomplish anything after watching an episode of my show. Alicia expressed to me that people may think of success as the celebrity or athlete or unreachable entertainer. But success is right in our own backyards. She said when we look right within our midst; the stories of success are fascinating. The show will open the audiences eyes to what success can look like every day.
I decided to create a television show because I felt it would be the most effective way to expand my audience. I have hosted workshops and seminars in the past, and I believe this is just an evolution of that concept. A Pathway to Success television show is just another piece in my foundation’s tool box. My aim is always to educate, entertain and enlighten. I think a show like this is essential nowadays with all the social media, videos texting, and other “empty” forms of communication. The reality is that we are living in the future and that these forms of communication are here to stay. I think my show is vital in balancing out the empty and negative images. My show will actually leave the viewer with something tangible; something they can actually use.
I can see the show being picked up by a major network in the near future. I also see this show being showed in schools, libraries and other institutions of learning. I see this show streaming on computers tablets and smart phones. The potential for this show is limitless and this adds to my excitement. Updates will be posted to the foundation website as well as the foundation’s social media pages. I will keep you abreast of the progress and maybe you can be a part of a Pathway to Success TV.
