Hey everyone, welcome back to the show! This week, we’re diving into a really raw and real conversation with my good friend Ben Nichols. Now, if you’ve been wondering where this episode is, trust me, it’s been worth the wait. We actually recorded this once before, but I wasn’t happy with it—I wasn’t in the right headspace, and Ben deserves so much better. So, here we are, round two, and we’re going deep.

In this episode, we talk about everything—balancing life as fathers, building businesses from scratch, and dealing with the mental and emotional weight that comes with it all. Ben opens up about his journey, from working countless odd jobs to finally finding his groove as an entrepreneur. He shares how his upbringing, struggles with bullying, and life experiences shaped who he is today.

We also get into some heavy stuff: emotional availability, breaking toxic cycles, and the importance of therapy. Ben talks about how therapy has helped him uncover patterns and start living more intentionally. And me? I’m reflecting on what it means to break the mold, especially when it comes to fatherhood and raising my kids differently from how I was raised.

This episode is a mix of laughs, hard truths, and some powerful takeaways about growth, resilience, and learning to embrace the challenges life throws at us. Tune in—this one’s a game-changer.
