Chopped it up with an NFL on FOX reporter about their journey through the journalism world. From his formal education, to writing bylines for ESPN, to all the traveling, he tells everything about his journey. Originally interested in people, Ben eventually gravitated to storytelling where he would find his passion for telling narratives within sports.

Apart from the media, we talked about his cultural podcast, Bridge2Self, and about the importance of global awareness and cultural sensitivity. As you’ll find out, it’s so much bigger than black and white.
