Summary

My guest on the show this Monday is Ben Kjar. Ben is the subject of the incredible new movie Stand Out. He was born with Crouzons syndrome (a craniofacial anomaly), and as a young boy the doctors told him that he would live a different life.....and that’s exactly what he’s done! He has risen above any of life’s challenges and become a victor not a victim. Ben is Utah Valley University’s first-ever NCAA Division 1 Wrestling All-American and has represented the USA team internationally. He is an international professional speaker and has told his story to millions around the globe, in front of crowds of up to 10,000 people!
