In December 2015, Hardy announced he was leaving SUCCESS magazine as publisher to pursue new opportunities.

He was executive producer and master distributor of The People’s Network and president of The Success Training Network.
On his website he states: “I remember this like it was yesterday. It was a defining moment. My family and I were in Tahoe skiing Heavenly Valley. I was 6-years-old. It was the end of the day, and I couldn’t wait to see my dad. I saw him at the bottom of the hill packing up my little sister’s skis. I unclipped my skis and ran toward him. “Dad! Dad!” I said proudly, “I skied by myself all day long and didn’t fall down one time!” Without looking up he simply said: “Well, then you didn’t get any better.” I stood there stunned. It was not the response I expected. A few seconds passed, he looked up at me and said, “Look Darren, if you don’t push yourself PAST your current ability, then you can’t grow. You have to fall to improve. Falling is part of getting better.”
