As entrepreneurs, we often face challenges that test us both personally and professionally. This episode is a testament to the transformative power of embracing change and finding new paths. I am thrilled to have Ben Mollin on the show today. He’s a celebrity hairdresser turned endurance athlete, who, in his words, "killed his career instead of himself," and is now a ‘California sober’ ultra-runner focused on suicide prevention. His story is so powerful, it is going to resonate with you in so many ways. Ben's story is the definition of resilience and reinvention and honestly as an entrepreneur myself, I've already learned so much from him. Today's conversation is deep. As a trigger warning, we're talking about loss, mental health, suicide prevention and survival. Trust me when I say that Ben's honesty and vulnerability will move you. I am rarely in tears on this podcast, Ben's ability to tell his story is next level. He's the first to share that sometimes stepping away is exactly what we need to open up new doors in our lives. I had the pleasure of meeting Ben last year at Beauty Gives Back (shout out to BGB!) and our conversations really stuck with me. I’m so excited to give him a big hug at the upcoming Beauty Gives Back event hosted on Sunday, September 15th, just outside of Chicago. If you’re in the Midwest, there’s still time to grab a ticket, grab yours now! If you’re attending, I’d love to meet you in person—please say hi if you spot me!
