Restored by the Storm: Bill Derrick on Resilience, Faith, Leadership, and Life’s Unexpected Challenges

What happens when the storms of life arrive one after another? In this episode of Telling My Story, Henry Chiwetelu sits down with Bill Derrick, a business leader, author, and public speaker with more than 50 years of experience in the construction industry. Bill shares the powerful story behind his book, Restored by the Storm, and the unexpected challenges that transformed his understanding of leadership, resilience, faith, and gratitude. After helping lead his family business through the devastating 2008 recession, Bill and his family faced another storm when he was diagnosed with multiple myeloma, an incurable blood cancer. Through these experiences, he discovered lessons about control, perseverance, gratitude, and finding meaning in circumstances we cannot always change. This conversation explores what it means to keep moving forward when life doesn't go according to plan, and how some of our greatest challenges can ultimately reveal strength and purpose we didn't know we had.
