In this episode, I sit down with Ben Anderson—an entrepreneur, coach, and someone who’s constantly pushing the edge of what’s possible. We talk about his journey from graduating Duke to running multiple businesses, coaching wrestling, and staying anchored in his purpose through it all.
Ben shares what it really takes to avoid burnout, how to lead with your why, and the mindset shifts that help you move through fear as an entrepreneur. We also dive into the power of mentorship, the importance of your circle, and why taking risks is essential if you want to grow.
At the core of it all? Serving others, staying grounded, and building something that actually matters.
Tune in now for a conversation that will challenge, inspire, and remind you of what you’re capable of.
