Description

Every entrepreneur will experience adversity at one time or another - that's a fact of life. Whether it be business related or personal, how we respond to the presence of these challenges is vital to determining whether we will triumph over them.

In today's episode of The Greatness Machine, Darius chats with Ben Woodward, speaker, strategist, coach and best-selling author. Ben is no stranger to adversity, having had to send his father to prison, struggle with undiagnosed bipolar disorder and endure a corporate crisis throughout his life. The wisdom he gained from these experiences has been outlined in his book, The Empowerment Paradox.

You'll discover a little of Ben's journey - Moving from New Zealand to the UK with only 50 pounds in his pocket to live with his father - who turned out to be a sex offender who had never been brought to justice.

You'll learn how Ben was forced to confront his father, a process that resulted in a prison sentence and a new perspective on their relationship.

You'll discover how Ben's life has been shaped by undiagnosed bipolar disorder, offering him unique insights into the concept of surrender and becoming a victor over one's circumstances.

Join Darius and Ben for a deeply personal and powerful discussion that will change the way you look at adversity in life and in business.

Topics include: 

Ben's journey from living in New Zealand to, at just 22, taking a one-way trip to the UK to live with his father - who he hadn't seen since he was 14

How his father turned out to be a sex offender who had never been brought to justice, and how Ben was forced to testify against his father and send him to prison

How undiagnosed of bipolar disorder has shaped Ben's life and offered him unique insights into the concept of surrender

The importance of becoming the victor over your circumstances, no matter what they may be
