In the latest episode of the Thriving Business Network Podcast, we were honored to welcome Darrion Goley, a 16-year-old motivational speaker, entrepreneur, and spiritual leader who is already making waves in the world. His incredible story, driven by personal challenges and fueled by unwavering faith, reveals a young leader whose wisdom and purpose inspire people of all ages. This is not just a tale of overcoming obstacles—it’s a roadmap to turning passion into impact.
Meet Darrion Goley: Aspiring to Inspire
At just 16 years old, Darrion Goley has accomplished what many spend a lifetime striving for. As the founder of Moviere, a clothing brand born out of his desire to motivate others, Darrion isn’t interested in creating products for the sake of fashion. Instead, each design carries a message of hope, encouragement, and empowerment, meant to inspire the wearer and everyone they encounter.
“Moviere is about inspiring others through what we wear and encouraging people to inspire everyone they meet,” he shares.
But Darrion doesn’t stop with clothing. His mission extends to weekly newsletters filled with heartfelt advice, motivational stories, and practical strategies for growth. Each week, he provides his audience with the tools to start their week on a positive, focused note, aligning with his belief that small, intentional actions can create big waves of change.
“Inspiration isn’t a one-time thing; it’s a lifestyle. Moviere is just one way I can help others live that,” he says.
Overcoming Challenges: A Story of Resilience
Born prematurely, Darrion entered the world facing the odds stacked against him. Doctors warned his family that he might face limitations, but Darrion’s life tells a different story—one of grit, faith, and refusal to accept those limitations. Instead of being defined by adversity, he used it as fuel to achieve more than anyone thought possible.
One pivotal moment in his journey was surviving a car accident while driving his grandmother to the hospital. Reflecting on that life-altering experience, Darrion shares:
“In that moment, I thought about everything I would regret if I hadn’t lived life to the fullest. It’s a reminder that we can’t take this gift of life for granted.”
This event pushed him to live each day intentionally and use his platform to encourage others to recognize the power and purpose they carry within themselves.
“When you’re told you can’t do something, it either stops you or propels you. For me, it’s always been a propeller,” he says.
Spreading Hope Through Ministry and Service
At just 12 years old, Darrion founded Hope and Long Community Church, a ministry built on the principle of creating spaces where young people can connect, grow, and discover their purpose. It wasn’t an easy path—stepping into the role of a spiritual leader at such a young age came with uncertainties. But Darrion relied on mentorship, faith, and his belief that everyone has a calling to make a difference.
“I didn’t know what I was doing at first, but I trusted God and surrounded myself with people who could teach and guide me. It’s about stepping out even when you don’t have all the answers,” he explains.
Through his ministry, Darrion has built a supportive community where young people can explore their spirituality and address the challenges they face in today’s world. His approach is rooted in creating connections that allow individuals to grow together.
“The church is not about me—it’s about creating a family where people feel safe to be themselves and explore what’s next for their lives,” he adds.
Morning Routines and The Power of Gratitude
Darrion’s commitment to gratitude is one of the cornerstones of his daily life. Each morning, before stepping out of bed, he takes a moment to reflect on his blessings and thank God for the gift of another day.
“Gratitude keeps you grounded. It’s about appreciating the now while preparing for what’s ahead,” Darrion shares.
He’s seen how this simple practice transforms not only his mindset but also the way he approaches challenges. Gratitude, he explains, isn’t just about the big things—it’s also about the small, everyday moments that we often take for granted.
“No matter who or what you believe in, gratitude is the foundation of joy, and joy is what fuels everything else,” he says.
Darrion encourages others to develop their own gratitude practice, whether through journaling, reflection, or acts of kindness. His advice is straightforward:
“Start small. It’s not about being perfect—it’s about being intentional.”
Inspiring the Next Generation
For Darrion, inspiring the next generation isn’t just a goal—it’s his purpose. Whether through his clothing line, his ministry, or his speaking engagements, his message remains the same: the future is bright, and everyone has a role to play in shaping it.
“Your story isn’t over yet. No matter where you are or what you’re facing, there’s always more in store. Believe it, and don’t give up too soon,” he says.
His wisdom for navigating life’s challenges includes:
Find your purpose. Reflect on what drives you and channel your energy into it.
Stay humble and keep learning. Life is a continuous journey of growth and discovery.
Embrace setbacks. Use them as stepping stones to build resilience and strength.
“Every challenge I’ve faced has taught me something new about myself and my purpose,” Darrion reflects. “There’s strength in every lesson.”
