About this listen

Benjamin Frandsen is a writer, speaker, and justice reform advocate whose journey from a wrongful conviction to a UCLA English graduate has inspired millions. After spending nearly two decades behind bars, Benjamin emerged not bitter but bold—armed with nine associate’s degrees, a 3.95 GPA, and a mission to turn pain into purpose. He now serves as the Executive Director of the Ben Free Project, a nonprofit that uses creative media and literacy to disrupt cycles of incarceration. His work has been featured in TEDx, national publications, and classrooms across the country. With a voice shaped by hard-earned wisdom and relentless hope, Benjamin brings authenticity, insight, and just the right dose of humor to every conversation. On this podcast, he explores the power of second chances, the systems that need fixing, and the stories that refuse to be silenced.
