Introducing fitness and nutrition coach, Army veteran, and mental health advocate Benjamin Smith. Ben uses his social media platforms and his coaching business to let others know that they are stronger than they think and they are not alone in their struggles.

"Understanding that the things that make me me are valuable; I think coaching is the current medium to do that.” – Ben Smith

Ben sits down with Ruben to talk about finding yourself after leaving the military and finding fulfillment in genuine human connection.

He makes it known that you don’t have to be overworking yourself to serve others. You can feel whole, supported, and valued as long as you live life through love.

Ben encourages you to keep doing the things you want to do, even if you feel fear or self-doubt, because “fear is great and I think acting in the face of fear is a really cool opportunity to build self-confidence and to deepen your commitment to yourself and your goals and your morals and your stance on any one thing.”

Finally, he shares his candid thoughts on the power of not focusing so hard on how busy you are and having a support system around you to keep you accountable.

“Living a life through love is understanding that everybody is sharing this experience together… My choices now, although they might be self-serving in the short-term, are purely just to improve the life of somebody else.” – Ben Smith
