Ben Goresky: An Integrated Man, The Work & Becoming a Leader
On episode 54 I connected with Ben Goresky. I met Ben through the Samurai Brotherhood, a men's work organized launched in Vancouver by P.T. Mistlberger years ago, Ben is among the new wave of leaders that are bringing this work to a new generation of men, including myself. Ben shares his story of growing up with some serious issues in what might seem like a perfect family from the outside, and how this lead him to rehab as a teenager, and how this changed the trajectory of his path. In recent years Ben has dove deep into plant medicines, mens coaching and group work, co-created a couples course with his wife Sheleana and just recently launched one of the few online mens work programs, The Integrated Man. I really enjoyed the conversation with Ben, he has a ton of energy and is bringing an amazing light to the world with a lot of takeaways and actionable pieces from his courses, podcast and the Samurai Brotherhood.
