In this episode of Life Stories, I chat with Ben Albert, the creator of the Real Business Connections podcast network and founder of Grow Getters. When COVID hit, Ben was furloughed from his corporate marketing job, but what looked like a setback became the start of something extraordinary.
Ben shares how he transitioned from “Music Ben” to “Business Ben,” building a thriving podcasting and marketing career from scratch. His story is one of resilience, curiosity, and connection—and it’s full of insights for anyone who’s ever wanted to start something new.
Highlights:
*How losing his job during COVID helped Ben rediscover his purpose
*Why he calls podcasting his “university on wheels”
*The transformation from a music lover to a full-time entrepreneur
*What “speaking it into existence” means when starting a podcast
*How to build community and authentic connection in a digital world
*What Grow Getters is really all about—and why it’s not as intimidating as it sounds
