Episode 037: Derrick Evans MBE - AKA Mr Motivator
Is it possible to choose positivity, even through pain and loss?
In this episode, fitness icon Derrick Evans MBE - better known as Mr Motivator - joins me for a deeply human conversation about resilience, faith, health, family and the power of perspective.
From his tough beginnings in Jamaica and early life in Britain, to success in business even prior to his TV fame, Derrick shares the lessons that shaped him: gratitude, kindness, hard work and the belief that happiness is a choice we make.
He also opens up about personal loss, being given up at just 3 months old, parenting, prejudice, and what it really means to keep hope alive.
It’s honest, emotional and uplifting - a reminder that while life can test us, positivity is always possible.
