No Excuses with Dave Letele

Born the son of Auckland Mongrel Mob leader, Dave once said, "I should definitely be in jail or dead, one of the two ... but because I'm not, I feel like I'm blessed. I share my story to give hope and help to others."

Dave Letele is an author, a community leader, life coach and motivational speaker. Dave is well-known for his professional boxing and days playing in Rugby League. He has recently released a book titled “No Excuses” which is about his journey from rags to riches, and fat to fit.

Dave also runs Buttabean Motivation, which helps people lose weight and learn to keep it off and lead healthier lives. He also has a food bank for people in need.

Dave has been through a lot of adversity in his life and he refuses to let it break him down. He is a true inspiration and we are honoured to have had him on the show!
