What does it take to go from being bullied for how you were born to becoming a world champion athlete and a successful entrepreneur?

In this inspiring episode of How We Do, host Meg Carlisle sits down with Ben Kjar, a motivational speaker, real estate entrepreneur, Greco-Roman world wrestling champion, and father of three. Born with a rare condition called Crouzon Syndrome, Ben was told he’d never live a normal life. Instead, he chose to live an extraordinary one.

Ben shares how he battled self-doubt, relentless bullying, and medical setbacks, then rose to become Utah Valley University’s first-ever Division I All-American wrestler. But that was just the beginning. He went on to build a multimillion-dollar real estate portfolio, travel the world sharing his message, and start a family with his wife, Nicole, through adoption after facing heartbreak and loss.

From confidence to faith, pain to purpose, Ben’s story is a masterclass in living like a victor, not a victim. This episode is packed with mindset gems, entrepreneurial wisdom, and powerful reminders to own your story and stand out.

-Growing up with Crouzon Syndrome and learning self-worth.

-Becoming a national wrestling champion against all odds.
