David Letele (Samoa, Ngāti Maniapoto), a former professional boxer turned motivational speaker and founder of Buttabean Motivation which is changing lives and improving the health outcomes of people across Tāmaki Makaurau through free Community Boot Camps and a range of other community programmes.
After going through his own life changing weight loss journey and losing over 90kg’s, Dave was inspired to help others out by supporting and educating everyday people – in 2014 he launched Buttabean Motivation and created a movement that continues to help people on their journey to a healthier lifestyle.

Dave has faced many different challenges through life, but through them all he’s come out the other side and wants to help others do the same. He’s an inspiration to those around him and a true community leader.
This is his story.
