Do you think you could write a bestselling book in only 5 weeks? If you've listened to the show before, you know that I am writing a book so when I connected with Ben Gioia (pronounced Joya) via LinkedIn I knew there was plenty I could learn from him.  Ben is a 3-time bestselling author who teaches others how to write their own bestsellers. He has his own proven method called Influence with a Heart. Ben has an amazing story and I know you'll be just as excited to hear what he has to say as I am. Press play to hear his journey (which is fascinating!) and to learn how you can write your own bestseller. You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in... How Ben overcame death in India [2:32] How Ben overcame death in India AGAIN [9:48] How the Influence with a Heart program got started [14:22] Learning why you should write a book [21:49] Overcoming the obstacles of writing a book [29:13]  How to handle your book's publication process [34:38] The money questions [38:56] The Influence with a Heart method is like having a business coach help you write your book Ben Gioia is the real deal, not only has he written 3 bestselling books, he wrote one of them in just 3 weeks! After writing a book in 3 weeks he realized that this was a skill that others would want to learn which is why he created the Influence with a Heart method. Ben believes that anyone can write a book. His process is like having a business coach help you write your book.  How the Influence with a Heart process works The first step in the process is to establish your audience. Do you already have an audience? You'll want to ensure that you know exactly who your target audience is so that you know how to make an impact in their lives. Once you clarify what your business is then it will be easier to understand who your target client is and how you can help them.  The purpose of writing your book is to establish yourself as a thought leader and an expert in your field. This book will allow you to share your story in an authentic way that aligns with what you do. You'll be able to transform readers into clients so that you can continue to serve them with excellence.  Overcome the obstacles that stand in your way The next thing that you'll want to do is overcome your fears. There are so many obstacles that can get in the way of finishing a book. Many people become overwhelmed with the publishing process even before the book is written. Added to that, people struggle with self-worth, procrastination, judgment, shame, and fear. What is holding you back from writing your book? Once you get over the stories that you tell yourself, it's time to get on a schedule and get this book written. Ben helps you get on a schedule that has you working on your book for 66 minutes a day 5 days a week for 6 weeks.  Do you think you could do it? Could you actually write a book in 6 weeks? You won't know unless you try! Listen in to discover Ben's story. You won't want to miss his death-defying stories in India. Then stick around to hear if Ben's method could help you get started. His process sounds like it could work not only for writing a book but for many other areas of business as well. I know you'll want to leave a 5-star review after listening to this episode.  Connect with Ben Gioia InfluenceWithAHeart.com/chat BookReviews.cc http://influencewithaheart.com/twitter http://influencewithaheart.com/linkedIn http://influencewithaheart.com/instagram http://influencewithaheart.com/facebook Connect With Gabe Nelson www.GabeNelsonFinancial.com/contact FREE Downloadable Resources at https://www.gabenelsonfinancial.com/resources/ EMAIL: Gabe (at) GabeNelsonFinancial.com Follow Gabe on LinkedIn Follow Gabe on Twitter: @GabeNelsonCFP Follow Gabe on Facebook Follow Gabe on Instagram: @GabeNelsonCFP Subscribe to Solopreneur Money Audio Production and Show notes by PODCAST FAST TRACK https://www.podcastfasttrack.com

bengreenfieldfitness.com/chrisandben While recently in Los Angeles at the Ancestral Health Symposium, I had the pleasure of a long, sunshine walk with my friend Chris Kelly. We brought a microphone along and recorded a fantastic chat for you with topics including... The growing epidemic of loneliness and how building a community can protect you biologically. How introversion can be steered towards a great deal of social good. My formula for the best dinner party guest list. The rewards of systematic service to others. And much more... So who is Chris Kelly? Chris Kelly is a certified Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner, a graduate of the Kalish Institute, and the founder of Nourish Balance Thrive. As a competitive cyclist, Chris trained hard and got fast, loving the buzz of a great workout session. However, at a certain point, he realized that in hindsight he spent most of his life feeling like crap—and his biomarkers spelled impending doom. Chris struggled with insomnia, fatigue, brain fog, his libido plummeted, and his recovery times took a nosedive. He wanted to train well, but he also wanted to enjoy the rest of his life. So Chris transitioned to a Paleo-type diet, reading a book a week on the subject for a year, but that was only half the solution. The other half came through experimenting with and perfecting a system of functional medicine—he effectively became his own guinea pig. Now, Chris's body is back in balance—his symptoms have disappeared, his diet's right for him, and his family life is as enjoyable as his training. In 2014, Chris quit his job as a software engineer to focus on helping athletes enjoy optimum fitness and health. Nourish Balance Thrive isn't just a diet or motivational coaching—rather, it's the perfect blend of a lab-based supplement plan, expert dietary advice, and consultative performance planning uniquely tailored to your lifestyle. It's kind of the ultimate biohacking training course with a practical component developed just for you, with the goal of arming you with the knowledge you need to stay fit and healthy for life. Chris Kelly has also been on my podcast on the following episodes: The Little-Known Test That Tells You Everything You Need To Know About Your Metabolism. 7 Signs Your Cortisol And Adrenals Are Broken. In this special two-part episode that includes my talk about loneliness given at the Ancestral Health Symposium (AHS), you'll discover: Part 1 - Ben and Chris Kelly -How Ben had a hand in founding Nourish Balance Thrive...09:15 -Why Ben chose to talk about "loneliness" at the AHS...13:15 -Ben's thoughts on the introverted personality...18:48 -How Ben has used his introverted nature to his advantage in his personal and professional life...25:15 -The thing we often get wrong when we think of building community...39:55 -Tools and resources to help build community...46:30 -How Ben's interaction with the church has influenced his person and message...55:04 -Recreating some of the community-building traditions that have been lost through the centuries...1:08:26 -One thing you can do to reduce loneliness today...1:17:55 Part 2 - Ben's presentation at the Ancestral Health Symposium...1:23:27 -Apps and technology that can enhance community... -Be active in the community...1:27:36 -Be active in your local church...1:29:00 -Engage in family relationships...1:29:57 -Reclaim Real Conversation...1:31:13 -Have a mission or purpose statement...1:32:13 -Shared experiences...1:35:57 -Embrace the sacredness of commerce...1:37:34 -And much more!...

Today's show is with Ben Askren, former mixed martial artist and wrestler, who is now a wrestling coach (amongst his other ventures).  Ben is one of the most successful wrestlers, and MMA fighters of all time, known for his unique style and technical skills. Ben's NCAA career consisted of a 157-8 overall record. His final two years were dominant with an 87-0 record capped by back-to-back national championships (2006 & 2007). Ben was a four-time all-American, and two-time recipient of the Dan Hodge Trophy (the college wrestling equivalent of the Heisman).  Askren was the former Bellator and ONE Welterweight Champion, remaining undefeated for over a decade before competing in the Ultimate Fighting Championship, and had a final win-loss record of 19 and 2.  Ben has co-founded Askren Wrestling Academy (AWA) with his brother Max. They currently operate 5 gyms. I am perpetually fascinated by elite talent in sport.  In training athletes, so often we take for granted, the long term process, the mental process, and the creativity that makes some athletes so elite.  It is very easy to get “sucked in” to sets, reps, exercises and positions, and fail to nurture both the individual creative and mental processes that are going to help athletes succeed as the level of competition rises. On today's podcast, Ben takes us through his early life in sport, and about when he made the transition from multi-sport athlete to specialist in wrestling.  He shares about the grounds the led to some big leaps in his creative ability as an athlete, and the balance between creativity and structure in the development of a young athlete.  Finally Ben shares lots of information on developing one's practice of mental composition for athletic performance.

What is the science behind capturing people's attention? And what do you do after you have someone's attention; what is your intention? Is our attention fleeting and fickle, like a goldfish? Or is it something that can be recaptured and rekindled easily? Our guest today, Ben Parr cleverly uses a great Bonfire Analogy to describe how we ignite, build and rekindle attention.  Ben Parr is an award-winning entrepreneur, author, investor, and journalist. He is the author of the best-selling book Captivology: The Science of Capturing People's Attention and the Co-founder of Octane AI, the marketing automation platform for Messenger and messaging apps.  Ben has a unique journey as an entrepreneur. In studying the science of attention, Ben has become deeply appreciative of storytelling; how we can capture and keep someone's attention through a narrative. But one of the tricks that we can learn from Ben is the art of how to curate a story. How we can be intentional with our presentations, our writing or even our conversations so our audience remain enthralled.  In our discussion with Ben, we talk about the reason he decided to research and write a book on attention. In a world where it feels like everyone is trying to grab our attention, Ben talks about how attention is something you need to both earn and be intentional about.  (23:43) “Attention is not something that you just get, it's something that you have to both earn, and that you have to be intentional about and the way you get attention. Because I can get attention by running down the street streaking, but I'm not going to get the kind of attention I want and not from the people I want. And this podcast would be done from a jail cell!” Ben loves to discover new music which opens up a great conversation about his playlist and even though he is a saxophonist, Ben never set his aspirations on emulating one of the great saxophonists like Kenny G. But instead, always strives to be the best possible version of himself.  Next, you can listen to our follow-on episode (#236); our Grooving Session with Kurt and Tim where we discuss how to apply Ben's insights to improve our lives, relationships and work environments.

“We really invested in our formulations, which allowed us to scale because our products work and our return rate is less than one percent.” @itmebenji #DTCPOD“The space is becoming more crowded, but I view that as very validating and not something that keeps me up at night.” @itmebenji #DTCPOD“We made our facial cleansers in solid stick form, like a deodorant stick. We really took care and effort to make sure that our cleansing experience was pretty enjoyable.” @itmebenji #DTCPOD“We really started to find our stride and figure out how to speak to customers better. And that's what's allowed us to scale so quickly.” @itmebenji #DTCPOD“I took stock and thought about and reflected on that where society was heading and had a lot of conviction about skincare becoming a much bigger part of men's lives.” @itmebenji #DTCPODWe Speak About:[00:50] Ben’s background in health and wellness[03:45] How and why Disco was created [07:45] Disco’s customer validation in a crowded market[13:20] Getting a “good handle” on an estimate of users[15:25] How Ben realized there is a growing market for men’s skincare[18:25] Branding and pricing standpoint to compete against drugstores, and big brands[21:20] Creating organic and UGC content to educate consumers and solve problems[25:15] Ben talks about the challenges of being a founder[28:20] Three steps to connect better with customers that were a turning point for Disco[31:20] How Disco educates their customers about skincare in post-purchase content[33:40] Where to find Disco on socials and the webStanding out in a crowded, yet growing marketBenjamin Smith, founder & CEO of Disco, joins the POD to talk about changing the standard for men’s skincare and the importance of customer validation.Disco is a science-backed skincare brand with a focus on product development for a growing market of men.Benjamin has always been invested in his own health and wellness, especially skincare. Growing up, a family friend and dermatologist who is now Disco’s medical advisor, taught him how to take care of his skin early on.Having a dermatologist on the Disco teams helps them create clean products with deliberately chosen ingredients.There’s a gold rush to capture the market share of men, and the skincare space is crowded, but Ben views this as validating. Having a unique brand and effective products, allows Disco to reach its target consumers.A founder’s perspective, the importance of listening to customersBen understands from experience the challenges of being a founder. From the launch to the middle of last year, Disco had a low conversion rate and couldn’t figure out how to acquire users properly. Ben even ran out of money a couple of times.Finally, in the summer of last year, Disco found its stride by learning how to speak to customers better. That’s what allowed them to scale so quickly, especially in the last six to seven months.The three actions Ben took for Disco to reach its recent turning point were adding a post-survey into the checkout process, reaching out to customers for feedback, and noticing patterns between the two. Post-purchase surveys had five different reasons why customers may have purchased Disco. This gave real data from customer responses to understand why people were actually buying.Reaching out to customers, Ben received valuable feedback about the website experience and the product that was similar to post-purchase survey responses. Ben learned Disco needed to acquire customers in a different way. That’s when they really had a product-market fit and started to grow. Stay tuned as Ben discusses how he validated Disco, how to scale an eCommerce brand fast, and how Disco is using content to grow.If you’d like to learn more about Trend and our influencer marketing platform for influencers and brands visit trend.io.

Coach Chris meets with Coach Ben Turits from The Endurance Collective, who specializes in bike fit. What sets him apart is that he's a massage therapist specializing in corrective exercise. With his background, he brings a bit of a different perspective to bike fit, or what he calls, a "fun detective game."What's unique about Ben's fit process is that he does a thorough movement assessment, before and after videos, bodywork and corrective exercise as part of the process. (please forgive the Ben's audio--it cuts in and out a few times, but hang in there!) Ben and I discuss:-->Why none of your bikes should be uncomfortable-->Why you need MORE time to adjust to big adjustments -->Why it's important to know that fit is not just a one time thing and is a process-->What to look for in a good bike fitter, including questions to ask (like experience in what type of riding/bike he/her will be fitting like tri/road/mountain)-->Common issues that they see with bike fits, including scapular winging, tingling fingers, low back pain and numb feet -->Why locked out elbows can be dangerous-->Some of the fit trends that may work for the pros, but may not work for your body including aero bar drop, mountain bike bar width, etc-->Crank arm lengths and why it may be better to go shorter-->Ideal cadence and why going going too high or too low may be inefficient-->How Ben and his team deal with leg length discrepancies and why it's so rareBen mentions a local PT Brian Beatty, who you can learn about here, who has helped Ben and his team identify "where it is, it ain't."Ben mentions Sep Vanmarcke's fit, which you can see here.Check out Ben's last episode on our podcast with previous host Michael about collaboration here. Ben's takeaways are:1) Get your bike(s) fitted2) Understand that bike fit is dynamic and can vary based on your fitness and where you are in your cycling "career"3) Ride what's comfortable and ENJOY the ride!Schedule a bike fit with Ben online at The Endurance Collective here or email him at ben@theendurancecollective.com or message them on IG @TheEnduranceCollectiveWant to work with us for coaching, nutrition or testing?

Ben Friberg, extreme endurance paddler talks with Johnny Waite, of Spartan Up Podcast, about how to prepare for the really big, self-supported, expedition-style adventures where you will be truly on your own. An example is Ben's dream crossing - the Bering Strait from Siberia to Alaska, alone on a stand-up paddleboard. Ben Stresses the importance of preparation - doing your research, knowing your gear and your body, and considering how to handle absolute worst-case scenarios, including injuries. He reminds us that when you have enough moving parts to a plan, you have to know that something is going to go wrong! JOhnny'ss favorite part is when Ben talks about the potential beauty of a Painted Corner (when you get yourself in a situation where you have eliminated all other options) and the spiritual epiphany that led to him composing a song by that title.   #1 - How Ben uncovers every stone (e.g., analyzing weather patterns, talking to locals, reading books on the terrain he’s going to traverse) to prepare for a self-supported paddle expedition   #2 - How navigating class-5 rapids equipped Ben for a career in self-supported adventures   #3 - Why crossing the Bering Strait is Ben’s “white whale” of self-supported paddle expeditions.   SPONSOR This episode of Spartan Up! is brought to you by TrueForm Runner.  Save 10% with the code ‘Spartan 10’ at TrueFormRunner.com/Spartan.   SUBSCRIBE: Apple Podcasts: http://bit.ly/SpartanUpShow YouTube: http://bit.ly/SpartanUpYT Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1pYBkk1T684YQg7CmoaAZt FOLLOW SPARTAN UP: Spartan Up on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/spartanuppodcast/ Spartan Up on Twitter https://twitter.com/SpartanUpPod   CREDITS: Producer: Ryan Warner Hosts: Johnny Waite Sr Producer: Marion Abrams   © 2020 Spartan

Today’s episode is a g*damn treat because we got to talk to the hilarious, wicked smart Kejal MacDonald about her time working for Tushy and Thinx—two iconic brands that have mastered the art of using humor to humanize taboo topics.Kejal is a literal brand master—with Masters Degree in Branding—and currently runs a marketing agency called Zuzu Digital, so it was a pure delight to pick Kejal’s brain about her time with these brands and hear her insights on the power of comedy to eliminate isolation and shame and bring a sense of truth and humanity to taboo topics.A little background on the two brands we talked a ton about: Tushy makes bidet attachments that have introduced America to the derriere way that much of Europe and Asia has been accustomed to for decades—and they’ve relied on an arse-nal of puns to help them get the message to butts all across the US. They’ve been featured everywhere from Forbes, Vanity Fair, and The New York Times. We both have one and can attest to their greatness. Also, we took on Tushy for our Slogan Challenge that you can watch here.Thinx is a feminine hygiene company known for their revolutionary reusable period underwear, their candid, bold voice, and getting their ads rejected from being on the New York subway. They also have a brand called SPEAX which is incontinence underwear, and BTWN which is specifically geared towards menstruating adolescents.We covered a lot of ground with Kejal on a lot of really strong takeaways for anyone running a brand. Like:—How hyper-specificity in your marketing allows for easy ideas—Why EVERYONE should be using humor in their business...especially the ones most afraid of it—How humor creates community and a rapport and relationship with your consumer—Levity and inclusion and undoing stigmas—How Ben & Jerry’s are killing it rn—The link between laughter and brand likeability—Thinking of brands as people with personalities—Why you should stick with your strong POV—How consistency and commitment are two keys in comedy—Why puns get a bad rap—And a thousand great tangents and callbacks and anecdotes in between...including a Bubba Sparxxx story you have to hear.You can follow Kejal at @KejalMacDonald and @zuzudigital or at www.zuzudigital.comMinute markers for your skimming pleasure (how dare you): 9:18 Spiller Qs 19:18 Branding Qs

Today’s guest is Ben Mizes, a real estate investor based out of St. Louis, Missouri, who is co-founder and CEO of Clever Real Estate. The first two words that came to mind as we wrapped up our conversation were inspiring and impressive. Ben shared in detail how he started with a limited capital base to make his first investment in residential property as a so-called house hack. He used an FHA loan, which is a federal assistance program from the Federal Housing Authority to help typically lower income buyers purchase homes with as little as 3.5% down. He then parlayed that initial investment into a real estate portfolio with dozens of units within a few short years. At the same time, he shared his parallel journey as an entrepreneur to found Clever Real Estate, a fast-growing company that is changing the structure of the industry. This was such a fun conversation and it’s possible to take away insights on multiple levels — from the mechanics of real estate investing to a street-level view of how the macro policies of recent years are playing out in real estate as an asset class to some of the structural shifts occurring in the industry. If you would like notes from today’s episode, please subscribe to our free newsletter. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did. Feel free to email info@investingindepth.com with feedback.   2:05 An accidental path to real estate investing   3:45 House hacking defined: buy a multi-unit property with the goal of living in one unit for free while the rent from the other units covers all of your expenses.   5:01 Real estate investing 101: Ben’s first investment came after he developed a rental property calculator to estimate financial requirements and returns and scoured Zillow daily reviewing newly listed properties.. “I would model… pretty much any deal that was interesting that hit the market until it got to the point where it could hit the market and without using my tool I would think ‘is this going to be a good deal?’”   6:57 Getting lucky by making your own luck: “We ended up buying a building for $220,000 that was worth $285,000 the day we closed which was a great first investment, albeit a little bit lucky. But I attribute a lot of it to being aggressive in our search and being confident to take that first step because of what we built and the confidence from modeling all these deals.”   8:07 A practical, line-by-line how-to guide on how to develop financial assumptions when investing in real estate (e.g., down payment on purchase price; interest rate; gross monthly rent; electricity; water and sewer; garbage removal; insurance; taxes; vacancy rate; repairs and maintenance; capital expenditures; property management fees; leasing fees).   13:30 How Ben built knowledge about repair, maintenance, and capital expenditure costs despite not having any background or experience in real estate, construction, or property development: desk homework through books and podcasts (e.g., Bigger Pockets, Wheelbarrow Profits) combined with real world homework by casting a wide net for contractors on other properties he had considered. Used bids and meetings with 15+ contractors as a form of education.   16:40 Benefits of using FHA loan to finance purchase: low down payment of 3.5%, low credit score bar, and limited income history requirement.    17:38 Some best practices Ben adopted: personally knock on each tenant’s door to introduce himself and set mutual expectations on the service level he would provide, how to get in touch, and overall relationship; used cozy.co, a free tool to automate rent collection online.   20:20 How the first real estate investment played out: after a $7,000 initial cash outlay for a down payment, Ben became the owner of a 4-unit home that generated $2100 in monthly rental income against $1418 in monthly mortgage payments.   21:10 Expanding the real estate portfolio: flipping first property to fund a deal to purchase an 18-unit portfolio in St. Louis.   23:38 Real estate 201: a riskier investment in a home needing significant renovation.   24:10 Creative ways to source real estate deals: driving around looking for properties in disrepair and then contacting owners directly; using rental listings on Craigslist as a signal that the owner might be older and could be ready to get out; driving around town looking for physical for rent signs on properties that are not listed online as as signal that owners might be older and ready to retire.   27:40 Growth mindset as a new real estate investor buying first renovation project: “Our goal was not to make money. Our goal was to not lose money and to walk away breaking even. And we kind of viewed it as our MBA or our School of Hard Knocks education where if we could come out of our biggest project not having lost money, that was enough to be a win for us because we really wanted the education. So, with that type of goal in mind, this deal made sense… it gave us a bit of a margin of safety and confidence to chase after the deal hoping that we’d get an education and don’t lose money with the chance of actually having a really good return.”   29:35 School of Hard Knocks Lesson #1: habitability inspection to qualify for FHA loan can have stringent requirements.   34:13 School of Hard Knocks Lessons #2 & #3: properly scoping the job and vetting contractors before hiring them.   37:20 Putting in sweat equity when running short on funds during renovation: Ben finds himself renting “the biggest drill I’ve seen in my life” from Home Depot and using it to jackhammer holes in the home’s concrete floor.   38:22 How the renovation investment played out: $400,00 purchase using conventional mortgage with 20-25% down payment from a capital partner who got half the equity. $150,000 spent on renovations. $4500 monthly aggregate rent across three units and Ben lived in the fourth unit alongside his business partner. After the renovation, the building appraised at $690,000. They got a cash out FHA refinancing with a $550,000 mortgage, which allowed them to pay back their capital partner and recoup the entire renovation cost. They now own an income-generating building with none of their own capital tied up in it.   39:30 Securing commercial financing as an investor with limited track record. “Banks are really looking at the property manager because they’re the ones that make or break these deals. It’s not really about who owns it. So, the first question they asked was… is Chris going to be managing this for you?” When seeking commercial financing as a new investor, you should “bring to the bank a really good team to show… here’s the team that we’re going to use so that me, as an inexperienced investor, am not in a spot to ruin the whole deal.”   42:55 The long-term evolution: building an in-house property management company to reduce costs from misalignment of incentives with outsourced property management.   44:37 Risks to real estate portfolio: tenant default; exposure to neighborhood and regional decline due to portfolio concentration.   46:11 Launching Clever Real Estate as a technology-driven start-up changing how the industry works. Clever provides discounted listing services for property sellers with a national network of other 10,000 agents who will list a home for $3,000 or 1% of the sale price.   47:40 Why agents work with Clever. The most expensive part of being an agent is prospecting for clients. Clever takes this out by marketing more effectively than agents, allowing them to reduce their cost base and pass on the savingstot clients in the form of lower commissions. “The agents often look at it as if they are discounting their commission in exchange for getting new business.”   49:10 How Clever makes money: receives 25% of the fee that agent makesl.   52:10 Long-term potential sources of durable advantage for Clever: intellectual property that optimizes matching between sellers and agents as well as differentiated, high quality content that adds value for consumers.   55:55 Recommended reading Inman for recent developments in real estate news Principles by Ray Dalio as a recent read that helped Ben think about what it takes to build an organization Bigger Pockets podcast Ben’s personal site is here and his writing on real estate investing and personal finance is on his terrific Medium page   Note: This podcast is for educational purposes only and nothing here constitutes a recommendation or offer.

It’s no longer news that sitting is bad for us. In fact, it’s common knowledge that sitting has become the new smoking. And hopefully by now after years of me screaming from the rooftops, you now know that standing isn’t much better. Sedentary is the new smoking, not just sitting. The key to better health and sustained energy levels throughout the day is movement. But with a pandemic keeping us all stuck at home, wildfires and poor air quality keeping us trapped indoors, and the world basically going to s*&@, it’s hard to think about getting off the couch or the desk chair, nevermind consistently moving all day long. In today’s episode I chat with world renowned fitness expert, biohacking guru, and multiple NYT bestselling author Ben Greenfield, whose work has been featured in Men’s Health, The Huffington Post, Shape magazine, NBC, CBS, the Joe Rogan show, and countless other media outlets. Ben is an ex-bodybuilder, Ironman triathlete, Spartan racer, coach, speaker, and New York Times Bestselling author including his latest book Boundless: Upgrade Your Brain, Optimize Your Body, and Defy Aging. In this conversation Ben shares his many unique tools and tips for sneaking movement into your day (no matter how many hours you spend trapped behind a computer). His knowledge and enthusiasm for human performance and human optimization is electrifying, and his simple, no-nonsense approach is accessible from couch potatoes and workstation warriors all the way to professional athletes…and everything in between. If you’re feeling unmotivated and exhausted by the relentless downturn of the world, this conversation will refuel your energy and give you the spark, the strategies, and the tools you need to bring your body back online and get moving again.

"If I want things to change, I have to keep on fighting. But I can’t be the only one."   If you've ever run a race in New York City, you know Ben Chan. He's the "leopard print short-shorts and cowboy hat guy," and he's a staple on the NYC running scene. On this episode, in addition to talking about his on-the-run fashion choices, Ben shares the story of how he found running at age 30, by way of donating a kidney to a friend in need. And Ben talks about his firsthand experiences with racism, many of which he's experienced recently, and on the run. Ben talks about being the son of immigrants and grandson of refugees, and offers his perspective on what it means to create "safe spaces" and "escapes" by way of running.   Thank you to AfterShokz for sponsoring this episode of the Ali on the Run Show!
