#338: Behind the Business Is a Battle: Ben Harral’s Story of Addiction, Family & Recovery

Ben Harral’s story is about much more than real estate.

In this raw and honest conversation, Ben opens up about growing up around rental properties, struggling with addiction, serving time in prison, and the difficult road that led him to 12 years of sobriety. He shares how his choices affected his marriage and family, why recovery remains a daily battle, and what keeps him moving forward when life knocks him down again.

Ben also discusses his work with Safe Exit Egress Windows, the mistakes investors make when cutting corners, and how modular homes could help create more affordable housing in the Omaha area.

If you’re struggling, rebuilding, or wondering whether it’s too late to change your life, this episode is worth hearing. As Ben says, it doesn’t matter how many times you get knocked down—it matters whether you get back up today.
