ANNIVERSARY SPECIAL: Ben Branson’s Journey from Homelessness to Hosting The Hidden 20%

From the thrill of winning Gold at the British Podcast Awards to unpacking the most raw and emotional conversation on the show, we revisit the moments that shaped us and changed the way we think. In this chat with Bella, Ben unpacks the three words that define our mission- "I feel seen"- answers listener questions, and bravely shares his extraordinary journey from homelessness to hosting this podcast.
