GE #4: an Interview with Derek Bell on Wellness, Self-Therapy, and Micro-Moments
Derek B. was introduced to me thanks to Derek M. Small world to be a Derek... However, in the conversation with Derek Bell, we explored much different ground, and speaking with him allowed me to go deeper on things I had only known about from more of a surface level. This was the first time I had a guest where we had no prior relationship. But, that's the beauty of people and this platform. Whether I've known someone for decades or minutes prior to recording, everyone has a story to share and some knowledge to drop and Derek did not disappoint.
In this episode, Derek and I discuss new perspectives of wellness (which is a big word & topic), our relationship to writing, reading, and exercising, what self-therapy might look like, Derek being a Law School dropout, the power of cultivating micro-moments, and so much more.
On Derek:
Derek Bell, MS, CWP, loves whammy bars, soccer, peanut butter. and eats burpees for lunch. An amateur ultramarathoner and CrossFit fan, Derek is the leader of Wellness & Strategy for Ascension Wisconsin at Work. He is also a faculty member at Mid-State Technical College, where he teaches behavior change and population health management, Derek is helping to grow a world where humility, kindness, and generosity reign. He believes a happy and fruitful life requires being CONNECTED, CARING for yourself and others, CONTRIBUTING to your community, and exploring your CREATIVITY.
Derek received his bachelor’s degree from Knox College and his master’s from the University of Wisconsin – Stevens Point. Prior to his work at Ascension, Derek directed the National Wellness Institute, including the National Wellness Conference. Recently, Derek won the United Soccer Coaches Association High School Coach of Significance award for developing assets in youth through his implementation of the Coaching Boys into Men Program with the Stevens Point High School soccer team, where he is the head coach.
With over 20 years of experience in wellness, Derek has worked with some of the best minds in the field. His passion lies in the evolving nature of wellness and its interaction with the human experience. You can listen to these discussions in his podcast series, “Highway to Well,” and the accompanying podcast, “AMWAP.”

At a minimum, it is a chance for me to connect with you, at a medium, your feedback could convince just the right person to give Good Explanations a listen (or avoid it), and at a maximum, it can help influence the future, harder-to-get guests to join us for a discussion on Life.
