Ben Kjar | Born to Stand Out — The 3-Step Formula to Shatter Any Goal | Proximity Is Power

In this episode, I sit down with Ben Kjar, five time national wrestling champion, the first ever All-American at Utah Valley University, real estate entrepreneur, and one of the most powerful speakers I've ever had on this show. Ben was born with Cruzon syndrome, a rare facial difference. His doctors told him he wouldn't live an ordinary life. He chose an extraordinary one instead. This conversation hit different. Raw, real, and deeply personal from start to finish. We cover: ✅ Growing up with Cruzon syndrome and praying every night for a different face ✅ The grocery store moment that shattered him and the thing his mom said that changed everything ✅ Why being different is not a curse but a calling ✅ The three step formula to shatter any goal: call your shot, get shot callers, set the shot clock ✅ Why most people fail their goals and it has nothing to do with talent or desire ✅ The difference between influencers and people who actually empower and inspire ✅ Why buffaloes run into the storm and what that means for your life ✅ The biggest flex of mankind is inner peace, not money or status ✅ Why vulnerability is the highest level of leadership according to Good to Great ✅ How jealousy disappears the moment you ask one honest question ✅ Why you can't be jealous of someone unless you'd trade everything you have for everything they have ✅ How Ben called his shot 20 years ago to share a stage with Tony Robbins and it happened two weeks before this episode ✅ The morning routine he and his wife built after adopting three kids in 13 months ✅ Why your default level of living is your kids highest potential of what they think is reality ✅ The documentary Standout now streaming on Amazon Prime, Apple and Fandango Books mentioned: Good to Great — Jim Collins The Bible and Book of Mormon Quote to live by: "Two roads diverged in the woods and I chose the one less traveled by and that has made all the difference." — Robert Frost Whether you're struggling with self-confidence, chasing a goal that scares you, or just trying to figure out who you are and why you're here, this episode will shake something loose in you. One of the best we've done.
