How Almost Losing Everything Led Me to Become Round Rock’s Faith Based Coach: The Story Behind Ascend Empowerment Group Start 🙏🏾

CEO-Darwin Tanksley

There’s a moment in life when you find out who you really are. Have you ever had one of those moments?


For me, that moment came last June when everything I built was stripped away in a single email from the Board of Directors.


I was no longer the President, no longer the RVP

Just like that, it was all over.

Not because I failed personally. Not because I quit.

Because sometimes when you outgrow the people around you, even your business partners, they don't know what to do with you anymore. And that’s exactly what happened to me.


I could have gotten bitter.

I could have disappeared.

But instead, I did the only thing I knew how to do. I went to my God.

I fell to my knees and prayed for two things in my next business:


👉🏾 I want to create a Business that serves him.

👉🏾 To serve His people in my community.


That prayer became my foundation.

That heartbreak became my mission.

And from those ashes, Ascend Empowerment Group was born.


Built for the Fighters, the Dreamers, and the Builders

Ascend Empowerment Group isn’t just another consulting firm.

It’s my mission to serve Gods people, built for the ones who know what it feels like to give everything you have and still get left behind.


I built AEG for:


The business owners climbing uphill with no shortcuts!


The families betting everything on their dreams!


The people who refuse to quit even when the world tells them to sit down and be quite!


Here, you’re not just another client.

You’re part of something bigger, a brotherhood, a family, a movement of people who believe their future is still worth fighting for.


Why Round Rock Matters

I didn’t start AEG in some big city far away.

I started it right here, on the same streets and in the same neighborhoods that raised me.


Round Rock isn’t just a pin on a map.

It’s home.

It’s family.

It’s where I learned how to lead, how to hustle, how to believe when the odds aren’t in your favor to never quit!
