In this powerful episode of Epic Begins With 1 Step Forward, Zander sits down with musician, author, and entrepreneur Ben Barbic to talk about resilience, identity, and the choice to keep moving forward. Ben shares how losing his home to a wildfire, then again to an earthquake, shaped his belief that pain can become fuel. Music became a steadying force, while work, family, and creativity taught him that life doesn’t have to be “either/or”, it can be “and.” Together, they explore self-doubt, the inner critic, the courage to release creative work, and the importance of believing you are good enough. Ben also shares the story behind his memoir, Rise and Climb: Finding Purpose Through Pain, and why progress matters more than perfection.
