When Ben Higgins joined The Bachelor for its 20th season, his life was never the same. But what a lot of people may not know about Ben is that he works tirelessly to turn the spotlight on someone else. In November 2016, Ben co-founded Generous International, a for purpose business that exists to make the world better — providing the consumer a unique opportunity to impact someone's life through their purchase. From coffee to apparel, Generous International’s mission is to create a movement of generosity and to funnel profits of every product sold towards efforts focused on alleviating poverty and bringing hope to the world. There’s one conversation Ben had with a friend that he holds on to to this day: " ‘There's nobody that's meant to be famous, not one.’ He goes, 'It’s what you do with the fame that matters.’ That moment I realized that there was some really great things, there were some world changing things that we could do with the platform that I had been gifted.“ Purchase our 1st MERCH featuring our ‘Society of Kind Humans’ shirt: sincerelyhueman.com/store Learn more about Generous International: generousmovement.com —— Advertise with us: sincerelyhueman.com/advertise Pitch your story: sincerelyhueman.com/contact Follow Sincerely, Hueman on Instagram @sincerelyhueman This show is produced by Hueman Group Media. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/sincerelyhueman/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/sincerelyhueman/support

Most widely known for his roles on ABC’s The Bachelorette and The Bachelor, you will soon realize that my guest, Ben Higgins, is more than just a reality TV star. After his time on The Bachelor, he used that platform to help others and create a dynamic business model in the process. And it all began with his friend’s non-profit organization called Humanity and Hope United. Believing whole-heartedly in this organization’s mission to assist underserved villages in remote parts of Honduras, Ben wanted to ensure the longevity and success of it. And that’s when they got the idea to create a for profit business with the purpose of supporting a non-profit. This business model is pure genius and he predicts that it’s only the beginning for other future businesses. I cannot wait for you to hear Ben’s story and how he seems to embody all things generosity. It’s no surprise that relating, connecting and being generous with people are so important to him. From his business model to his blog and podcast, Ben gets super transparent in an attempt to let people know that at the heart we’re all the same and that we all have a passion to share with the world. Don’t be surprised if this episode blows your mind and likely gives you a nudge to give back more, too. -- Question Highlights: What was life like before The Bachelor vs. after? Growing up, what did you think you’d be doing as an adult? Was your new-found fame easier to deal with because of your desire to work with people? How did you learn to cope with trolls and negative comments that came with your fame? Do you feel you have a responsibility to use your influence for good or is it a choice? How does your podcast give back? How have your parents dealt with your fam? What makes for a successful blog? What is one of the toughest parts of running a non-profit business? In This Episode We Talk about: The unexpected and difficult growth that happened during Ben’s time on The Bachelor Dealing with sudden fame The power in knowing that you can’t please everyone Why it’s important to always be aware of what your intentions are The common desire that everyone wants to be loved and not be alone The importance of authenticity in a blog How Ben used The Bachelor platform to create Generous International How Generous International was founded Why Generous Coffee can compete with big brands like Starbucks Why future businesses will need a social cause tied to them How Generous International works with Humanity and Hope United to develop communities and make sustainable change in the world Why the non-profit world needs your passion And so much more… Ben’s Thoughts… “Stay open to the criticism, but also be confident enough to know that you may have to reject it sometimes because you know what your intentions are.” “You can live life simple. It doesn’t have to be hard.” “When much is given, much is expected.” “Profit is sacred.” “The more profit we make, the bigger the long-term impact.” “From start to finish, we want to be generous.” “When we are loving on others and building relationships, life makes more sense.” “No one should be apologetic about wanting to live a great story.” -- Ben Higgins is from Winona Lake, IN but currently calls Denver, CO home. People may know Ben best from his time on season 20 of ABC’s “The Bachelor.” The Bachelor has allowed Ben an enhanced platform to share what he is most passionate about which is his faith, his hope for humanity, and his love for sports.
