Today Marvin interviews Ben Kjar, a professional wrestler and speaker born with Crouzon Syndrome, a condition requiring extensive facial reconstructions. Kjar shares how his mother's refusal to coddle him helped transform his physical differences into a source of extraordinary confidence. He details his "call your shot" philosophy, which utilizes accountability partners and strict deadlines to achieve elite success in sports and business. The discussion emphasizes the mental grit required to outwork competitors and the importance of parents modeling ambitious dreams for their children. Finally, Kjar highlights his upcoming film, Standout, which documents his journey of overcoming adversity to inspire others with facial differences.
