Finding Your Motivation For Weight Loss With Geovanni Derice

Geovanni Derice, motivational speaker stops by PhatMan Radio to help you get motivated for 2014.

Growing up as an Haitian American, in his younger years he dealt with having an accent
that made him stand out from his peers. It was on one fall day while in the 3rd grade
that Geo was made fun of for not sounding like everyone else. Although he realized he
was different, he was always brought up to be apart from the expectations of everyone
else. It’s this unique upbringing that helped him excel in school, embrace his uniqueness
and eventually becoming the 8th grade student body president at his school.

Sounds like a perfect story, until he entered high school where once again the pressure
to be liked rose. Peer pressure in high school is a tough thing for any kid, and Geo was
no different. With his attempts to fit in working against him, he grew depressed and
even battled with a suicidal moment at the age of 15. By the grace of God he realized that
his path was to take the road less traveled, and because he did things differently, he
experienced things that his peers never did.

Fast forward to today, he’s embraced the stage speaking to young people about the value
of finding your own path. His teachings on how greatness is fitting out from the crowd,
not in the crowd has helped many young teens accept who they are, and not live an
ordinary life, but one that’s extraordinary.
