I'm Dar Dixon and this is my story...
Dar is half Iranian, half American white boy.
Born in Tehran.
Yes, Iran.
He's moved over 80 times.
He escaped the Iranian Revolution with literally the clothes on his back, and we're not lying... He even found himself in a cult.
Through every crazy thing that's happened against insane odds...
He's been succeeding in life and in Hollywood for almost 30 years.
People with boring lives have boring stories.
Nothing boring here.

This is exclusive to the listeners of The Art of Being Dar.
This is an interview that I did with Marc Gilson, Director of Client Services for CRI.
One day not too long ago, I was talking with Marc and MaryEllen Tribby - CEO of CRI - and we decided to have Marc do an interview with me.
I jumped at the idea because I didn't want to just do a "monologue" of My Life Story into a microphone...ugh!
It was almost a 2 hour interview, so I decided to break it up into 3 parts.
In this part of it we discuss:
- 4:21 Don't make it weird, bro
- 5:00 How my parents met
- 5:56 There were Chinese & Iranians in Utah, in the 1950’s?
- 7:58 On the same day?!
- 8:55 The town I consider “home…where I grew up”
- 10:55 The move to Iran
- 11:31 Shiraz is our new home
- 12:32 Boarding School?
- 13:07 Life as we know it, is changed forever
- 14:05 Are we going to Disneyland, or what?
- 14:39 My father is gonna get killed
- 15:27 That’s definitely not normal, right?
- 15:45 Half Great Satan – Half Axis of Evil
- 17:08 We look like white boys, but have distinctly Iranian names
- 18:06 Little League Baseball and The Good ‘Ol Boy
- 19:06 A Dar Is Born
- 19:45 Things start getting racist, bigoted, prejudiced, and… homophobic?
- 21:13 My nature is…
- 22:17 Sometimes it gets to that
- 22:48 I have not talked about this before publicly
- 25:55 These guys are gonna kill me
- 28:51 How to clear a room
- 30:27 Traumatic Brain Injury and Division One Football
- 31:09 I’m going to Southern California!
- 31:46 Hare Krishna’s and vegetarianism
- 32:37 Who is this jagoff?
- 33:20 Self-medicating
- 34:45 100% a sociopath
- 37:01 I was a “mark”
To Be Continued in Part 2...

Centerpointe Research Institute - CRI - centerpointe.com is the sponsor for The Art of Being Dar - with Dar Dixon, and I'm excited to be working with them.
I've meditated with their flagship product, Holosync, for over a decade. I can't recommend Holosync or Centerpointe, enough.
They're great people, a great company, and they've got great products.
