He opens up about aging with intention, leading by example for his three kids, and why being physically fit isn’t vanity — it’s responsibility.Ben also dives deep into the truth about willpower, why most people are draining their “battery” with constant decision-making, and how success in health and business comes down to systems — not motivation.
