This podcast is extracted from the radio feature Motivation Minute on Music Radio 97 in Trinidad and Tobago. Written, produced and presented by Garfield King, the programme aired every weekday for 28 years - 1992 to 2020. The content served to remind of what most of us intrinsically know or feel. Airing early in the mornings, the brief radio messages aimed to encourage the attitude … “It may not be easy, but it’s not hopeless.” ... This podcast aims to build on that ethos. Theme music - Mike Alleyne
