Darren Ogden Releases His Second Book Six Months Laters After Selling Over 3,000 Copies of His Debut Book
#KRITICIZM - Entrepreneur, media executive, motivational speaker, and author Darren Ogden Sr. is celebrating more than another year of life—he's celebrating another major milestone in his entrepreneurial journey. On his birthday, June 24, 2026, the founder and CEO of Nolazine officially released his second book, 40 Ways To Build Leverage, Business Relationships & Gain Income, just six months after launching his debut bestseller, Speak Like a Media Mogul.
For Ogden, 2026 has become a defining year.
He entered the new year with a mission to inspire others through his own story. On January 1, 2026, he released Speak Like a Media Mogul, an inspirational memoir detailing how he overcame a speech impediment while building a successful media company from the ground up. The book resonated with entrepreneurs, aspiring media professionals, and individuals facing personal adversity, selling more than 3,000 copies independently within its first six months—an impressive accomplishment without the backing of a traditional publishing house.
Following the success of his debut, Ogden has returned with a new purpose: helping others build the relationships and leverage necessary to create long-term success.
His latest release, 40 Ways To Build Leverage, Business Relationships & Gain Income, is a practical roadmap for entrepreneurs, business owners, professionals, and anyone looking to create opportunities through strategic networking and meaningful relationships. Rather than focusing solely on financial capital, the book teaches readers how relationship capital can become one of their greatest assets.
Across forty practical chapters, Ogden shares proven strategies for developing influential business relationships, building leverage from limited resources, creating multiple streams of income through partnerships, and positioning oneself for long-term success. Drawing from years of firsthand experience, he emphasizes that sustainable growth is built on trust, consistency, and the willingness to create value for others.
"40 Ways To Build Leverage, Business Relationships & Gain Income isn't just another business book," Ogden says. "It's a blueprint for anyone who's starting with nothing but a vision. You don't have to have millions of dollars to create opportunities—you need the right mindset, the right relationships, and the willingness to create value for others."
The lessons found throughout the book mirror Ogden's own entrepreneurial journey.
Before becoming an author, Ogden established himself in the concert promotion and entertainment industry, where cultivating relationships with artists, promoters, executives, and community leaders became the foundation of his success. Those experiences eventually led him to launch Nolazine, a growing multimedia platform dedicated to spotlighting entrepreneurs, entertainers, influencers, and changemakers while expanding opportunities across multiple industries.
His continued success as an independent author further reinforces the message he teaches. Selling thousands of books without a major publishing deal demonstrates the power of strategic networking, authentic marketing, and consistent execution. Rather than relying on traditional publishing avenues, Ogden has built his readership through the same relationship-building principles he now shares with aspiring entrepreneurs.
As today's business landscape becomes increasingly competitive, 40 Ways To Build Leverage, Business Relationships & Gain Income arrives at a time when entrepreneurs are searching for practical, real-world guidance. Instead of offering theoretical concepts, Ogden provides actionable lessons rooted in personal experience, encouraging readers to recognize that the people they connect with, the trust they establish, and the value they consistently provide can become the greatest drivers of opportunity.
With two books released in just six months, Darren Ogden Sr. continues to expand his influence as an entrepreneur, media executive, motivational speaker, and independent author. His growing body of work reflects a commitment to empowering others with the knowledge, confidence, and relationships needed to build successful businesses and lasting legacies.
40 Ways To Build Leverage, Business Relationships & Gain Income is available now.
