In this episode of The Superhuman Podcast, we sat down with Ben Strange — an international connector, investor, and founder of Strange Investments, known for bridging high-level conversations between family offices, HNWIs, and bold founders.
Ben opened up about his unconventional path to success — from dropping out of school early to becoming a trusted dealmaker to the ultra-wealthy. We talked about the raw lessons that shaped him: cold calling, rejection, humility, and building trust through brutal honesty. This one’s packed with wisdom for anyone navigating both business and life.
Here’s what we dive into:
Ben’s unfiltered rise — how leaving school and working in retail sparked a global career in investment and relationship-building
Trust over tactics — why staying grounded and calling people out (even billionaires) built his strongest relationships
Old-school grit vs new-age fluff — what today’s entrepreneurs can learn from war-era wisdom, cold showers, and saying “no” to scripts
The psychology of money — thoughts on S&P 500, crypto, collectibles, and how the ultra-wealthy really think about investing
Ben’s superhuman routines — ice baths, organic eating, nature immersion, early mornings, and how pain creates resilience
If you’re looking to build something meaningful and play the long game — in both relationships and results — this episode will remind you what really matters.
