The right question does more than the right answer ever could.
- Business
- Innovation
- Human Nature
- Process
Ben is an innovator and a student of human behaviour. He is as curious about what makes people tick as he is about what to build next. On the journey, quietly chipping away at a new real estate model, developing software and leveraging A.I. Ben explores the questions:
Is it possible for a business built on generosity to outperform one based on profit?
What does it really mean to be human in the world of A.I?
What are we quietly giving up for every convenience we gain?
The thing that drives him isn't building an empire, nor the technology or the ideas; it's the people they're meant to serve.
If any of it resonates, you're welcome to follow along.
Are these questions worth sitting with?
Business
The corporate world is built on growth. The question is where does ambition stop serving us and start using us?
- Is it possible for a business built on generosity to outperform one based on profit?
- What does it look like to build a business that reflects the core values of the owner?
- At what point do the efficiencies created by economies of scale start to have a negative impact on local communities?
Innovation
Everyone's chasing what technology can do. The question worth sitting with is - what are we quietly giving up for every convenience we gain?
- What does it mean to be human in the world of AI?
- Can we innovate in a way that creates more connection with other people rather than less?
- Where should AI stop, and what should we refuse to automate?
Human Nature
The most interesting thing in any room is the person in it. So why do we keep reaching for our phones instead?
- What is the correlation between our mental health and the success of our businesses?
- Why do we so often act against what we actually want?
- Where's the line between caring for someone and carrying them?
Process
Two people can reach opposite conclusions from the same information. Does the order we ask questions in decide the answer we get?
- What happens in the process that the results never show?
- Can you trust a process before you can see where it leads?
- What are we quietly giving up for every convenience we gain?
BUSINESSES BEN IS BUILDING WITH THESE QUESTIONS AT THE FOREFRONT
Source.
Chasing success and still feel like something's missing?
Ben wrestled with the same feeling. Is there more beneath the surface than a business and a set of values?
For those who want to go deeper, Ben has a dedicated, more personal channel, a space to slow down and unpack the questions that matter most.
- What's the meaning of life?
- Why are we here?
- What am I building all of this for?
Maybe you've sat with these questions too? The challenging questions, the moral dilemmas without clean answers, the personal breakthroughs that only seem to come the hard way?
If you want to explore them alongside someone who's wrestled with them himself, this is the place.
For Ben the answer lies in a single quote, "Perfect love casts out all fear." And if true, it raises the biggest question of all…what is the source of perfect love?
