Summary

George Wright II interviews entrepreneur and speaker Ben Kjar, who was born with Crouzon syndrome and overcame bullying and medical adversity to become an NCAA Division I All-American wrestler, flip over 200 homes, and release the film “Standout: The Ben Kjar Story.” Ben shares a pivotal grocery-store incident that led his mother to reframe his difference as a purpose—“born to make a difference” and “born to stand out”—shaping his identity and gratitude. He explains why wrestling helped him create control through effort and attitude, and outlines his 3XSC framework: call your shot (clear goals), enlist “shot callers” for accountability, and set an expiring timeline (“shot clock”). They discuss disobeying averages across all life areas, daily discipline such as protecting mornings for family and routines, and Ben fulfilling a 20-year goal of speaking on stage with Tony Robbins.
