Pt 1. The Former Bachelor, Ben Higgins Tell$ All

This week, Jason is joined by one of Bachelor Nation’s biggest stars and fan favorites, Ben Higgins!Ben initially won over the hearts of viewers during his time on The Bachelorette and eventually became the Bachelor himself. Following his time on the shows Ben embarked on numerous ventures, entrepreneurial and otherwise, with a mission to help organizations connect more deeply with their employees and customers. In 2017, Ben co-founded Generous Coffee, a company dedicated to raising money through its operation to create jobs, feed children, improve education and empower communities to eliminate poverty around the world. Outside of his socially conscious work, he maintains a connection to the one and only Bachelor Nation by co-hosting the Bachelor focused, Almost Famous podcast with Ashley I, which has accumulated over 80+ million downloads to date. Ben gives insight to how he ended up leaving Indiana and working as a business analyst in Denver, how his lifestyle stayed the same between The Bachelorette and The Bachelor, how he has processed insecurities and handled criticism, what feedback about his season impacted him the most, his desire to be a representative of a community, and what Ben and Lauren Happily Ever After was almost focused around. Ben also reveals how the show had a major impact on his relationship with Lauren, how the breakup impacted his fanbase, the healing process, his time doing Winter Games, what role he was initially offered for Winter Games and why it changed, and if he was offered to appear on another Bachelor Nation show. When did he feel like an outsider in the franchise? Who discouraged him from ever going on Dancing with the Stars? Is there anything he would have done differently post breakup?
