Discovering Your Purpose with National Geographic Explorer Ben Ayers
When Ben Ayers was 20 years old, he took $300 and moved from Maine to a remote village in Nepal. He did not know the language but he knew he wanted to support the porters who carry trekker’s climbing gear up and down Mt Everest. That was 23 years ago. Now, at 43, Ben is discovering the next evolution of his purpose, knowing himself. I met Ben when I was 20 years old. He is who inspired me to devote my career to human rights. He showed me that bringing our unique talents and giftings to the social issues we’re passionate about can truly change the world. (It sounds cheesy but it's true.) In this episode, he teaches us what effective human rights work looks like, how knowing ourselves is the most important is the key to unlocking our purpose.
