OVERCOMING ADVERSITY, BUILDING THROUGH BODYBUILDING & LIVING WITH RADICAL OWNERSHIP WITH BEN MAYFIELD-SMITH | EP. 203
Episode Description
In this episode of the Chasing Clarity Health & Fitness Podcast, I’m joined by Ben Mayfield-Smith for a raw and honest conversation that goes far beyond reps, macros, and training splits.
We dive deep into the pivotal moments that shaped who we are from career-altering accidents to caring for terminally ill family members and how adversity became the catalyst for personal growth, mindset evolution, and purpose.
Together, we unpack:
How major life events reshape your identity
The mindset shift required to rebuild yourself after trauma
What bodybuilding teaches beyond the stage
Time management, work ethic & using failure as feedback
What it means to live with radical extreme ownership
Turning personal pain into purpose, leadership & service
This one’s for anyone who’s ever been knocked down and had to rebuild from the ground up.
