In this episode of What Are You Made Of?, Mike “C-Roc” sits down with James Benefico for a deep, wide-ranging conversation that bridges physical health, entrepreneurship, and spiritual growth.

James shares his perspective on being “made of” consciousness and how caring for the body as a vessel allows clarity, purpose, and faith to shine through. From his personal decision to stop drinking and the impact that had on momentum and mental clarity, to his belief that health directly affects our ability to serve others, James unpacks the powerful connection between body, spirit, and character.

He opens up about his journey from college football and significant weight gain to reclaiming his health after his mother’s cancer diagnosis exposed him to serious flaws in the medical and nutrition system. That path ultimately led to the founding of Organic Muscle, the first organic-certified pre-workout, created after a near medical emergency with conventional supplements.

James also shares hard-earned lessons from building a company for over a decade, raising capital through relationships, navigating uncertainty through faith, and how entrepreneurship forges resilience and belief in something greater than yourself.

The conversation closes with a moving testimony about loss, anxiety, early Christianity, and how profound personal tragedy became the catalyst for a deeper, embodied faith. This episode is a powerful reminder that true strength comes from alignment—between health, purpose, and belief.
