After almost two decades as a technologist in investment banking, Darryl transformed his health after adopting a back-to-basics approach to well-being. As a health and movement coach, Darryl now advises people on maintaining a healthy lifestyle amidst the epidemic of chronic lifestyle disease. In September 2023, he became a fellow of the British Society of Lifestyle Medicine.
He regularly presents as a keynote and motivational speaker at academic, clinical, health promotion, and corporate events worldwide. Darryl's April 2019 TED talk "Why working out isn't working out," discussing the issues with physical inactivity and why most humans hate to exercise, has now been viewed over a million times.
Darryl is the author of the best-selling book "Animal Moves," which highlights why humans should move like the animals we are. Inspired by the book’s success, he launched a 30-day online course and created a range of fitness decks that have shipped to over 40 countries. The Animal Moves Fitness Decks are fun, fitness cards for adults, juniors (age 7-14), infants (age 3-6), office workers, and fitness professionals. In late 2020, he released a children’s picture book called “My First Animal Moves.”
Darryl's work has been published in leading national and international press, such as The New York Times, Men's Health, Women's Health, Top Santé, Elle Magazine, Men's Fitness, and The Daily Telegraph, and featured on the BBC documentaries Eat to Live Forever, Doctor In The House, and Inside The Factory. He has also appeared in the full-length documentaries Love Paleo and The Human Longevity Project.
His work has also been highlighted in the NY Times best-selling book "Grit and Grace" by one of the most successful music artists of all time, Tim McGraw, and in one of the UK's best-selling books of 2018, "The 4 Pillar Plan" by the UK's leading TV Doctor Rangan Chatterjee.

Not necessarily. While the speakers listed on our website may not have worked with PepTalk in the past, they are recognized professionals in the industry and known to engage in similar events and engagements. We work with a wide variety of speaker agents and talent agencies to ensure we have the best selection of speakers, hosts, comedians and entertainers available.
We do not accommodate requests for birthday messages or any other personal, non-commercial contact with the speakers, comedians or entertainers.
We work with speakers across a variety of fee ranges, giving you the flexibility to choose someone who fits your event's needs. Virtual keynote fees in the UK and Europe typically start at £2,000, while in-person top-tier speakers can reach £25,000. In the US, virtual in-person fees range from $5,000 to over $100,000, depending on the speaker and format, such as after-dinner talks, conference keynotes, Q&As, or podcasts. Comedians generally start at £1,500 or $2,000 for a 20-minute set.
Our goal is to help you find the speaker who best matches your event’s goals and budget. We take the time to understand your event, objectives, and audience to recommend the right fit.
