Content note: This episode includes frank discussion of sex, pornography, and religious control.Author Ben Crawford spent decades inside a tight church network where life, money, and meaning were all centralized. When he started sharing his life on YouTube and telling the truth in 12-step rooms, the system pushed back. He lost community, business ties, and friends. He also found something bigger: a voice, a marriage that's alive, and a way of connecting that doesn't hide behind ideas. This is a conversation about escaping control, learning vulnerability, and why honesty beats “accountability” every time.Topics we coverPreaching vs sharing: why ideas felt safe and intimacy didn'tThe men's “accountability” script and why it blocks connectionWhat 12-step groups modeled: clear truth, no fixing, real safetyThe “cult continuum” and how control shows up in everyday church lifeGrading communities by behavior, not labelsChoosing where to be authentic and where to hold boundariesBen's love story with Cami and the surprising payoff of telling the truthWhy listenIf you've felt the gap between what your community promised and what it delivered, or if you've tried to change people with ideas and missed the chance to actually bond, this episode gives language and practices for a different way forward.About BenBen Crawford is the author of the bestselling 2000 Miles Together: The Story of the Largest Family to Hike the Appalachian Trail and has been featured on Good Morning America and NPR's This American Life. Formerly entrenched in fundamentalist religion and once at the helm of one of the world's largest blackjack teams (profiled in the documentary Holy Rollers: The True Story of Card Counting Christians), Ben brings a singular perspective to faith, risk, and reinvention. Retired in his 30s, he's a prolific YouTuber with 1,000+ uploads, and he now finds joy in poker and marathon running—with his six kids often along for the mile markers.LinksBen's book: The Courage to Share (affiliate link)Ben's YouTube family channel: https://www.youtube.com/@FightforTogether

Boundaries are one of the most essential skills in healthy relationships. Like an invisible fence around the perimeter of a yard, boundaries establish where your space ends, and someone else's begins.

Ben and I discuss why they are so important and how to establish and communicate them effectively. In this episode we cover: * How to let go of feeling responsible for other people's emotions * Practical ways to change your patterns and establish better boundaries * How empathy can interfere with our ability to separate from another person * The two-step process of creating a healthy boundary * Why people-pleasing is one of the biggest obstacles to setting boundaries and what to do about it Check out Ben on YouTube: https://youtu.be/USv244XIfE4 Ben on IG: @3encrawford, @fightfortogether Read Ben's book, “2,000 Miles Together: The Story of the Largest Family to Hike the Appalachian Trail” Check out my program, Connect to Your Core, where you can learn to set better boundaries.
On April 16, The Phantom of the Opera will take its final Broadway bow. And today, I am so honored to be joined by Ben Crawford, the last man to wear the iconic mask before the show closes. Tune in today to hear Ben talk about funniest audience reactions, onstage mishaps, the physical challenges of singing through a mask, the unique feedback he got from Hal Prince, and his long audition process for the role. There are also stories about the rest of Ben's great career, including the genius of Scott Ellis, the musical he'd like to be in next (hint: it involves a Founding Father), a disastrous audition story, the absurd comedy of Irma La Douce, life on the road in Guys and Dolls, and so much more. You won't want to miss this delightful conversation with one of Broadway's best.

The show just celebrated it's 35th and final anniversary, and you've only got a matter of weeks to watch the iconic musical before it closes for good.

Ben Crawford's journey is one for the ages. Ben built a wildly successful real estate and construction company – and was recognized as Ernst and Young's Entrepreneur of The Year and featured on Inc.'s 500 fastest growing companies – and then it all changed when The Great Recession arrived. That's when Ben's franchise journey began. Soon after the crash, Ben pushed all his chips in to bet on himself and a young emerging franchise that no one had heard about: The Joint Chiropractic. Even with no chiropractic background, Ben made the leap, and it paid off. Fast forward to today, and Ben owns a number of The Joints in the greater Houston area. Ben shares his journey about why and how he invested in a franchise (here's a hint: it has to do with recurring revenue).

Hablamos con el actor Ben Crawford quien interpreta al fantasma en el musical de Broadway “El fantasma de la ópera” que celebra 34 años de dar funciones en la meca del teatro. Andrew Lloyd Webber escribió este musical en la década de los 80 basado en el libro de Gastón Leroux "Le Fantome de L'Ópera", en el que una joven bailarina y aspirante a cantante de ópera, Christine Daaé, se convierte en la musa y extraña obsesión de un fantasma en la Ópera de París. Lloyd Webber se puso en contacto con el productor Cameron Mackintosh para proponerle un musical de corte romántico. La única condición que le puso fue que su esposa en ese momento, la cantante Sarah Brightman, fuera la encargada de dar vida a Daaé.

Hi, listeners! Enjoy this throwback to 2019 and the very first guest from our My First Time miniseries. Our first guest for this miniseries was Ben Crawford. In April 2018, he started creeping ‘round the Majestic Theatre as the title character in The Phantom of the Opera. But before headlining this show, before Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Big Fish and Shrek, he was a replacement in the first Broadway revival of Les Miserables, covering both the roles of Valjean and Javert. We discussed making his Broadway debut, what he learned understudying two of theatre's most iconic roles and how he brought those lessons to playing the title character in Broadway's longest running show.

My guest today has a mission to empower people to find freedom by questioning the status quo. He and his family make videos, record podcasts, take pictures and write books with an emphasis on prioritizing relationships. In 2018, they set the record for the largest family to thru-hike the Appalachian Trail. The eight of them, including six kids at the ages of 16, 15, 13, 11, seven and two, hiked 2,189 miles, averaging 13.6 miles a day.

In a Very Special Episode of the podcast, Ben Crawford and Matt Wisner, the co-founders of the New Generation T&F magazine, came on RYM to get deep into the philosophy and inner workings of track and field media. No subject was left unaddressed, which at times made for a revealing and uncomfortable conversation, but one that will definitely make you think. We also got into high school stories, the Mountain Dew mile, and Matt’s season opener and had a lot of fun along the way. Ben Crawford is a University of Oregon student and photographer who rose to prominence on the running YouTube scene with his coverage of the Men of Oregon’s summer training and manages a channel with over 40,000 followers. Matt Wisner is a 1:48 800m runner and 3:42 1500m runner who ran for Duke University before transferring to Oregon for his final year of collegiate eligibility. He was briefly the facility record holder at the renovated Hayward Field when he won his section of the 1500 at the Hayward Opener this past weekend. How they define ‘new generation’: BC: There’s definitely a big gap between people who are like ‘social media is bad’ and people who say ‘the sport’s dying.’ Social media is the future; if you brand yourself and are able to showcase your personality you’re able to get more fans and in turn be able to make more money, create more revenue. And obviously, the faster you are on the track the better it’s going to work out for you. MW: We hear all this talk about ‘pushing the sport forward,’ but to us, pushing the sport forward means both more fans and more engaged fans. What’s going to make people watch a [whole] 5k? If you know the runners in the race, if you have stakes and know their personality and what they’re up to, you won’t take a bathroom break during the 5k. On the value of running Youtube: BC: Providing content that’s new, and fresh, and different is valuable. It may appeal to a lot of people or to a small subsection, but the act of doing something different and putting yourself out there is inspiring for people to see and say, ‘If they did that, I can go and do something of my own in the sport.’ On placing controversial figures into context: MW: We want to cover things journalistically, and if something is noteworthy and interesting, we want to put it in our magazine. You have to hold people accountable for their words, but at the same time we also genuinely want to know what people think. Ultimately, depiction is not endorsement, and people can and do speak for themselves. On running culture: MW: There are so many different cultures within ‘the sport,’ and we want to depict all of it. We want to be wary of defining the culture narrowly, but at the same time, the quirky weirdo distance runners are what drew me to the sport in the first place. I was this kid who hated the boys’ soccer team and wanted to go hang out with those weird kids who were boys and girls and, y’know, shaved their legs sometimes. BC: You want to make [running culture] inviting to have mainstream appeal… you want it to be fun and not too weird or too serious [….] You look at Track and Field News and those other magazines, and it’s very much defined by a dominant culture. People say ‘running is the sport for everyone,’ but you look at what’s portrayed and it’s [narrow.] If you want to change it, one of the first thins you have to do is make it so anyone can look at it and say, ‘that person reminds me of myself and I feel inspired by them.’
Thru hiking is hard enough, but when you add six kids and your spouse, you're taking it to a whole new level. Ben Crawford, author of 2000 Miles Together, sits down with Doc to discuss the logistics, prep, and the highs and lows of hiking with kids aged 2 to 17, and he and Doc also take detours to talk about marathoning as a family as well as the year of living with no rules. Sound interesting? You have no idea. Tune in and find out. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/johnfreakinmuir/support
