"There is real power in not caring what others think."

Ben's Friends is an online social network for people with rare diseases.  Ben Munoz started it after suffering an AVM in 2006 and undergoing multiple brain surgeries.  During his recovery he was feeling alone and scared so he reached out to others to form Ben's Friends.  Ben joins the dudes to impart his knowledge and wisdom from his years of leading Ben's Friends and the company he created.

To honor Rare Disease Day, we invited our friend Dr. Al Freedman back on to talk about how people living with Rare Disease (like Kyle and Sean) can remain proud even if they are not proud of everything about themselves.  Dr. Al says a big part of it is gratitude and focusing on your strengths.  Listen to hear all the details including the strengths of his son Jack who has been living with SMA for 25 years.
