In this episode, I have a guest speaker – Ben Curtis.
You might have heard that before; if you're over the age of probably twenty, ‘Dude, you're getting a Dell’ you probably remember Ben Curtis.
Ben Curtis was an actor from the Dell commercials who publicly hit a massive, massive rock bottom. And today, he was a guest on the Think Unbroken podcast. Ben and I connected a few years ago on social media and have watched so many of the incredible things that he has done come to shape and fruition but also, he and I have become pals, and it's amazing to watch this man's journey.
And I asked him to come and be on the show to share his journey into where he is today, in being a coach for men and helping them move through shame, guilt, and judgment. I thought to myself, like, reading and understanding what he does, I was like, who else would be better to have this conversation than a man who had a headline on CNN titled ‘Dude, you're getting a Cell’.
Ben's journey is phenomenal, captivating, and interesting. I think one that many of us go through where we find ourselves hitting the magnitude of rock bottom again and again and yet, still reaching, still striving, still wanting to try to make life better and figure that journey out, and so much of this journey starts with asking for help. In this conversation, Ben and I go deep into that and how it's impacted our lives individually.
This is an emotional conversation; we're going to talk about some of the heaviness of life here. I want you to know coming into this that; this is a space where the baseline reason I created this show was to have conversations exactly like this; then, my hope is the thing that you take away from our conversation today is understanding that the difference between where you are and where you want to be in your life often begins which is simply ASKING FOR HELP.
I'm very excited to welcome my friend Ben Curtis to the show!
