What happens when the host becomes the guest?

In this season wrap-up episode of GRAFT, producer Rebekah flips the script and interviews Ben.

They reflect on the journey of launching GRAFT, the emotional and professional lessons learned, and what it really means to “graft” in today’s world.

If you’ve been with us from the beginning - or are just jumping in - this is the perfect episode to hear what GRAFT is all about.

  KEY TAKEAWAYS

  You can’t want the outcome and not be willing to do the graft. Decide: are you in or not?

• Curiosity is allowed. Don’t let anyone else's discomfort stop you from exploring.

• Success isn’t always shiny. What matters is whether you’re enjoying the climb.

• The most meaningful graft isn’t just professional—it’s emotional, personal, and human.

• Men need new spaces. If you can’t find one, build one.
