In this episode, I have the privilege of welcoming my dear friend Ben Abell, a remarkable cancer thriver who has overcome stage 4 prostate cancer. Ben's journey is nothing short of inspiring, as he opens up about the challenges of his diagnosis and the incredible role faith, integrative medicine, and community support played in his healing. We discuss how mistletoe therapy, personalized nutrition, and prayer became pivotal in his recovery. Ben also reflects on how his faith, anchored in scripture like Philippians 4:6-7, guided him through this life-changing experience. His story is one of resilience, hope, and purpose, offering profound insights for anyone navigating a cancer journey or supporting a loved one.

goodr's Law Dog, Ben Abell joins SDL as they guest on the Conquer the Noise podcast to discuss how partnerships can play out and what important features of goodr's culture keep us happy and healthy and constantly growing in our personal and professional lives.
Jonathan speaks with Stephen Lease and Ben Abell, who have known each other since high school. The conversation opens around partnerships. Both goodr and Unconquered were founded by co-founders and they talk about strategies to keep the relationships strong, how to work through hardship and the importance of complementary skill sets. As the conversation progresses, a big theme emerges for this episode, centered around culture. They talked about creating a strong company culture, hiring and keeping employees engaged. As an organization, goodr does not use email and prefers to use Slack to keep communication open. "It’s about transparency. It hinges around stopping 1/1 conversations that don’t need to happen," said Lease.
We listen to excerpts of a May 2, 2007 conversation with Ben Abell, a tongue-in-cheek pledge drive skit from decades ago and listener reflections.

Ben is a full-time and part-time organic farmer. By day he works as the Organic Farm Manager for the University of Kentucky’s Organic Farming Research and Education Farm, a job he has held for the previous five years. The university farm is home to a 80-member CSA, grant-funded research, and extension and education efforts relating to organic vegetable production in Kentucky. By night he operates his own (leased) farm in Fayette County, Kentucky where he grows organic sweet potatoes, cabbage, winter squash, and watermelons on 10 acres. “What’s been so great about having the farm is because it has created a visual component to the organic agriculture program [at the University of Kentucky].” “I’ve found this movement of young farmers is very inclusive. There’s a lot of passion.” — Ben Abell on Greenhorn Radio
