What do we hold on to when life takes us through a storm we never expected?
In this episode of Derive Insights, Etu Daniel sits down with Bill Derrick, a family business leader, author, and speaker with more than 50 years of experience in the construction industry.
Bill has experienced some of life's most challenging storms firsthand. After helping lead his family business through the Great Recession, he and his family faced another life-changing challenge when Bill was diagnosed with multiple myeloma, an incurable blood cancer.
Rather than allowing these experiences to simply define him, Bill used them as an opportunity to reflect on resilience, faith, gratitude, family, and the deeper meaning we can find in difficult seasons.
His book, Restored by the Storm, shares the lessons and perspective he gained through these experiences and offers a powerful reminder that storms can change us without having to destroy us.
In this conversation, we explore what it means to keep moving forward when circumstances are beyond our control, how faith can provide strength during uncertainty, and why gratitude can change the way we experience even the hardest moments.
Bill also reminds us that resilience isn't necessarily about pretending everything is okay. Sometimes, it's about acknowledging the storm, finding something to hold on to, and discovering what the experience can teach us.
This conversation is for anyone navigating a difficult season—whether through business, health, relationships, loss, or circumstances they never saw coming.
Because sometimes the storm doesn't come to end our story.
Sometimes, it becomes part of what restores us.
