Well, hello there!
My name is Ben and I appreciate you wanting to learn a bit more about me.
I'm a speaker, author, and personal growth enthusiast...and down-to-earth, living-my-life, contributing-to-the-world-in-whatever-way-I-can, normal guy. I lucked out and married an amazing woman who also happens to be an opera singer. Having never heard an opera before meeting her, it's a good thing it turns out I like opera!
Since you're here to learn more about me, here's a bit more of my story. (If you're looking for a more official bio, keep scrolling. It's down near the bottom.)
MY STORY
I was in my early 20's, chasing an acting dream in L.A., and my life was crashing - hard! In fact, I used to hope I would win the lottery so someone would pretend to love me because I was rich. That was the best I thought I deserved. Knowing I had to make a change, I turned back to my spirituality (aka Personal Growth - feel free to replace any mention of "spirituality" on my page with "personal growth") and life got better. I learned and practiced everything I could, getting a professional license as a spiritual counselor and a Master's in Spiritual Psychology.
Knowing from personal experience how impactful the personal growth mindsets and tools I was using could be, I started officially speaking and teaching in 2010, as a side-hustle. Then, quite unexpectedly, I was downsized from the most lucrative job (to that point) I'd ever had. So, what was a guy who's heard all the stories about a lost job being "the best, most transformational life experience ever" to do? Make it the best, most transformational life experience ever - and here we are!
I released my first book in late 2017 and now speak and write full time. I LOVE it! I work hard, travel, and get to watch people transform their lives. If we haven't met yet, I hope we'll connect at an event soon. I'd also love it if you joined me on Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter. Thanks for checking me out. Make the rest of this day as fantastic as you are! (Even if you have no idea how fantastic you are... and let me tell you... you're FANTASTIC!)
