Ben Strahan - is currently a Hotshot Superintendent of an elite Wildland Firefighting team known as Hotshots. Widely considered the best at fighting wildland fires in the world, Hotshots are known for their high physical performance and ability to solve complex problems within the wildland fire arena. With over 20 years of experience, Ben has developed a deep understanding on how to lead teams of individuals in high-risk environments to achieve a common goal. Ben’s true passion in life is to serve others in the discovery of self. He approaches this by telling deep and powerful stories about his past struggles with suicide and how he overcame it. His unique way of sharing his story in an authentic way creates an environment that allows others to feel safe, so their authenticity can be expressed, and they too can find the growth or healing they are looking for. Ben is also the founder of Moment Consulting LLC, a consulting company bringing corporations and organizations awareness and understanding of how self-leadership is the catalyst of high-performance teams. He also works directly with first responders who struggle with mental health balance, by exploring alternative healing methods. As an advocate for mental, physical, and emotional resiliency, Ben is on a mission to elevate himself by elevating others, through sharing perspectives so we can all collectively grow together. Tune in as Ben joins Bobby Marshall in studio to discuss life lessons, mental health psilocybin, wildland fires, Native American culture, wildland firefighting, hot shots, smoke jumpers, fire mitigation, mountain life, family and so much more. Please subscribe or like us on social media platforms for updates on shows, events, and episode drops.
