Lisa Daniel’s guest on this episode of Word for Word is Ben Mitchell.

Ben grew up on a small farm in New Zealand, but as a young kid his life was less than idyllic. Being different wasn’t welcomed by his father or step father, and school proved to be a lonely and isolating experience.

Fast forward a couple of decades and Ben has overcome the challenges of his past to see only the positives life has to offer.
