Rebirth at 40: A Nonlinear Journey and the Chaos That Became My Turning Point

With Ben, Futurist, Co-founder & Ecosystem Gardener at The Futures Hub

In the Season 1 finale of Bennu Podcast, the conversation becomes deeply personal.

For the first time, our initiator Ben, futurist and co-founder of The Futures Hub, takes the guest seat.

Guided by host Charline Baker-Friesen, Ben reflects on migration, identity, midlife crisis, and the unpredictable transitions that shaped his journey. From starting over in a new country at 40 to rebuilding identity through language and experience, this episode explores how chaos can become a catalyst for reinvention.

Together, they dive into:

• the emotional reality of beginning again

• how weak ties and serendipity changed everything

• the metaphors guiding their ecosystem (Octopus, Zebra, Starlings, Jazz)

• embracing uncertainty as a path to growth

• a vision for a future-ready European ecosystem

A raw and honest story of transformation, belonging, and becoming.
