Episode 2 – DERON McBEE
From portraying pop culture phenomenons like Mortal Kombat’s Motaro and the iconic Malibu of The American Gladiators, to a hellish descent to addiction and near-suicidal depression, and ultdimaely, a phoenix-like rise from the ashes, DERON McBEE has been there and done that. Beneath the massive, Viking-like exterior lies a deep intellect and an even deeper soul.
On the Talking Tough Podcas, Rick talks with Deon about:
- What it means to succeed, and especially, to fail
- Coming back from the abyss
- Overcoming addiction, and reaching to others to be of service
- The loss of Deron’s wife at an early age, and raising his children on his own
- Spirituality vs religion
Recorded on Valentine’s day while both were going through break-ups with his significant other, Deron and Rick (half) jokingly refer to their conversation as “Lovelorn-Tough Guys-pour-their-shattered-hearts-out-but-we-truly-love-the-fairer-sex-anyways Valentine’s Day interview…
Now a successful Minister and certified Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Counselor, Deron hosts “The Issues of Life Podcast with host Deron “Malibu” McBee, where he and his guests discuss the current affairs, and dealing with addiction and recovery and from a decidedly Christian world view.
