Hi, I'm Drew Deraney, the proud father of three, and for most of my life I was concerned with what people thought of me and how I was supposed to act.

In a 9-month span a few years ago, I endured four faith-shaking life events that caused me to question my existence. I realized it was a commonality for men to consider any challenge a weakness as well as to show emotion and ask for help. While writing my book, I realized I was not the only man suffering in silence.

I was determined to find a better way to live. With more clarity of purpose than ever, I began asking for help. Through intense self-reflection and awareness, I realized that in order to be happy, I must adhere to my standards of honesty, integrity and truth and needed to break free from the belief system that was anchored in me for close to 50 years.

Now The Caregiver Mentor, my mentoring provides a safe space for men & women to learn to tap into their natural power through self-discovery to lead their life, write their story and live the life they want to live.

I was born in Brooklyn, NY and raised in Ho-Ho-Kus, NJ where I still live to this day caring for my elderly mom and my 3 adult children Matthew, Nicholas, and Emma. I earned my B.A. in Psychology, M.A. in Applied Psychology, and two psychology research publications while at Fairfield University; a scholarship from the Healthcare Financial Management Association; and my M.B.A. in Health Care Administration from Baruch College / Mount Sinai School of Medicine in NY. My hospital career spanned 24 years where I was co-chair of the Leadership Institute, spoke at JD Power, was one of three leaders interviewed by The Commonwealth Fund, received my Communicating with Empathy Trainer certification and is a Certified Patient Experience Professional. Four years ago, I founded Profit Compassion LLC, an entity to mentor and empower mostly men to create resiliency and authenticity as Chief Resilience Officer. I am the podcast host of

‘From Caving in to Crushing It’

and recently became a best-selling author with my #1 International Best Selling book
