In this episode we dive into Ben’s journey, from life on the rugby field to life after footy – and how becoming a father to three daughters has reshaped his perspective on success, balance, and what it really means to be a role model.
We also hear about the powerful work he’s doing now through his ‘Running for Resilience’ initiative, helping to raise awareness for mental health and suicide prevention.
