Ben was interviewed by Erwin Szeto of The Truth about Real Estate Investing... for Canadians. By all definitions, Ben shared that he was killing it, but he wasn’t always successful. Ben shares his childhood story being a preacher’s son, why he ran away from home at 12, abused drugs and alcohol until the age of 20, crawled home to his parents, checked into a 12-month rehabilitation program and turned his life around.

Ben talks about learning lessons on raising a challenging child such as himself, owning investments with other people’s money during the crash, being bullied by an investment partner, and what he would do differently with his investments if he could do it all over again. This is the first time Ben has publicly shared his challenges as a business owner.

In this episode, Ben got the chance to have Vaden Earl and hear his adoptive daughter named Widlene’s story, a 12-year-old Haitian girl who was left orphaned in the Dominican Republic. For close to 10 years now, her adoptive family has been attempting to bring her to Canada.

With new citizenship policies in the Dominican Republic, Widlene became stateless.

As a trifecta of a minority, female, black and a minor why is she not allowed to come to Canada? This clearly shows how the Canadian government has broken promise after promise to the Earle family. 

Listen to this father story of a father whose daughter is trapped in a country stateless.

In this episode, Ben shares how he used to steal cigarettes from his grandfather just to give it to kids who smoke at school. He did that to feel that sense of acceptance and belonging to those kids.

Once in our life, are we like that little Ben who did that just for someone else to notice us?

Self-acceptance needs to happen for us to grow. We must learn to embrace our inner child. Learn to love ourselves from within. A self-reset for us to be able to live our own story.

This is the first time that Ben and Kelsey Grant put their heads together to do a live relationship coaching. Today, they had Diane come on the show. She is an English teacher in Japan and she wanted to talk about intimate relationships and the fears that are actually holding her back.

During the show, Kelsey Grant dug deep into Diane’s past relationship to find the source of her inner fears, struggles, jealousy, and envy.

Host Ben Oosterveld intuitively reveals how Diane has an untapped and unacknowledged inner rift with her parents making her weak. The idea was to bring Diane to a place to look at other relationships outside the intimate ones so she can identify some of the patterns and things that she is doing in her other relationships.

This is really a cool and authentic episode. Enjoy!
