Justin Jones: Survival, Strength and Six Points in Mallorca
<p>In this episode, Vicki McLeod sits down with long-time Mallorca resident Justin Jones for a moving and deeply human conversation about life before and after the accident that changed everything.</p><p>Justin originally came from George, South Africa, before moving to the UK and later to Mallorca after visiting his brother on the island. What began as a weekend visit soon turned into a new life, first through Balearic Adventures, then through metalwork and Balearic Coating Solutions.</p><p>The conversation covers the reality of building a business in Mallorca, the importance of reputation, word of mouth and community, and why the island can be such a rewarding place for people willing to work hard and show up properly.</p><p>Justin then speaks openly about the catastrophic car accident that left him with life-changing injuries. He remembers the crash, the rescue, the weeks in a coma, the operations, the hallucinations, the medical decisions, and the people who fought to save his limbs and his future.</p><p>He also talks about the emotional aftermath: depression, isolation, dependency, pain, family changes, and the people who kept turning up when he needed them most.</p><p>The episode also looks forward. Through a specialist hand trike, Justin has found a new way to move, train and experience Mallorca again. With the support of friends, physiotherapist Tracy Evans, Oliver Neilson and the Six Points community, he is now preparing to take on the Six Points Challenge, raising money for local charities and proving, in his own way, that life can still open new doors.</p><p>This is a story about survival, friendship, Mallorca, sport, mental health and the stubborn decision to keep going.</p><h2>Suggested chapters</h2><p>00:00 Introduction</p><p> 00:20 Welcome to Justin Jones</p><p> 00:45 Growing up in South Africa</p><p> 01:40 Moving to the UK</p><p> 03:20 First visit to Mallorca</p><p> 04:30 Moving to Mallorca with Marie</p><p> 05:00 Balearic Adventures and the Zorb years</p><p> 06:00 Why Mallorca felt familiar after South Africa</p><p> 07:40 Raising children in Mallorca</p><p> 10:50 Life and business on the island</p><p> 12:20 Balearic Metal Projects and Balearic Coating Solutions</p><p> 14:00 Starting small and building a business</p><p> 15:15 Reputation, marketing and word of mouth in Mallorca</p><p> 16:40 The car accident</p><p> 18:10 Son Espases, coma and life support</p><p> 19:15 Remembering the impact</p><p> 22:30 The alternate reality during the coma</p><p> 25:20 Operations and medical miracles</p><p> 28:40 What Justin has lost and what may still be possible</p><p> 31:00 Fighting to keep his limbs</p><p> 33:30 Tracy Evans and the physiotherapy journey</p><p> 35:30 Coming home during Covid</p><p> 36:10 Gratitude, positivity and perspective</p><p> 37:30 Life after the accident</p><p> 39:40 Insurance, court and the Spanish system</p><p> 42:50 Depression and isolation</p><p> 44:00 Getting out again</p><p> 45:45 Discovering the hand trike</p><p> 47:00 Cycling again for the first time</p><p> 49:00 Meeting Oliver on the road</p><p> 50:30 Six Points and charity cycling</p><p> 52:50 Sport, fitness and mental health</p><p> 55:30 Raising money for local charities</p><p> 59:30 Advice for anyone struggling</p><p> 01:00:45 Closing thoughts</p><p>Sign up for our free newsletter here. https://majorca-mallorca.es</p><p>Please follow Majorca Mallorca on Social Media:</p><p>FACEBOOK PAGE https://www.facebook.com/MajorcaMallorca.es</p><p>FACEBOOK GROUP https://www.facebook.com/groups/MajorcaMallorca</p><p>INSTAGRAM https://www.instagram.com/majorcamallorcapodcast/</p>
