What happens when life knocks you down, but something inside you refuses to stay there?
On this episode of I Am Refocused Radio, Shemaiah Reed sits down with Ben Barbic, author, musician, speaker, entrepreneur, and creator of Rise & Climb: Finding Purpose Through Pain.
Ben opens up about navigating loss, anxiety, setbacks, and the difficult process of rebuilding from the ground up. We explore how discipline, fitness, music, creativity, faith in the journey, and a willingness to keep moving can transform painful seasons into a deeper sense of purpose.
Ben also shares how he has built a life across multiple worlds, from reggae and hip-hop to business, real estate, personal development, and the mountains, without believing he has to fit neatly into one lane.
This conversation is for anyone who has ever had to start again, rethink who they are, or find the strength to keep climbing when the destination still feels far away.
Every setback can become fuel for the climb.
