This episode features an inspiring conversation with Ben Lowe, a man who has overcome incredible adversity to transform his life and is now dedicated to helping others do the same.
Ben's story begins with a difficult childhood - his parents divorced when he was 13, leaving him feeling like an outcast and leading him down a dark path of addiction and crime. From the age of 15, Ben was out on his own, selling drugs and getting into trouble with the law. He became heavily addicted to methamphetamine and spent years in and out of jail, hitting rock bottom multiple times.
However, Ben was able to find the strength to turn his life around. He credits his young son as a major motivation, realising he needed to break the cycle and become the father he never had. Through immense personal work and a reconnection with his faith, Ben was able to overcome his addictions and start building a life he could be proud of.
Now, Ben is the founder of the Into change Project, a charity dedicated to helping at-risk youth and reducing youth crime. He shares his powerful story to inspire others and provide hope. Ben is passionate about creating a support system and positive role models for young men who may be going down a similar path that he once walked.
In this episode, Ben openly discusses his journey - the trauma, the addiction, the brushes with death, and ultimately, the redemption. He talks about the importance of self-worth, the power of vulnerability, and the ripple effect that can occur when someone is able to transform their life.
Ben's definition of success is beautifully profound - it's not about money or material things, but about living life to the fullest, embracing challenges, and feeling fulfilled at the end. His story is a testament to the human capacity for change and the difference one person can make when they decide to use their experiences to uplift others.
This is a must-listen episode for anyone seeking inspiration, hope, or a deeper understanding of the complex issues surrounding addiction and youth crime. Ben's authenticity, wisdom and heart shine through, making this a truly impactful conversation.
