Disobey Average: Turned Adversity into a Superpower

George Wright II interviews entrepreneur and speaker Ben Kjar, who was born with Crouzon syndrome and overcame bullying and medical adversity to become an NCAA Division I All-American wrestler, flip over 200 homes, and release the film “Standout: The Ben Kjar Story.” Ben shares a pivotal grocery-store incident that led his mother to reframe his difference as a purpose—“born to make a difference” and “born to stand out”—shaping his identity and gratitude. He explains why wrestling helped him create control through effort and attitude, and outlines his 3XSC framework: call your shot (clear goals), enlist “shot callers” for accountability, and set an expiring timeline (“shot clock”). They discuss disobeying averages across all life areas, daily discipline such as protecting mornings for family and routines, and Ben fulfilling a 20-year goal of speaking on stage with Tony Robbins.01:58 Ben's Early Challenges02:42 Confidence Through Effort05:02 Grocery Store Turning Point07:49 Identity and Support System09:53 Why Wrestling Chose Him13:43 Introducing 3XSC17:17 Breaking Down 3XSC17:56 Facing Fear to Call Shots18:33 Fear Of Being Seen19:02 Losing Still Inspires20:26 Why Call Your Shot20:59 Finding Shot Callers21:40 Half Marathon Support23:06 Lets Go Theory24:08 Disobey Average Mindset26:02 Raising Kids Standards28:50 Daily Rituals Discipline30:43 Stop Being 2.032:08 Adversity As Leverage33:22 Tony Robbins Long GameThanks for listening, and Please Share this Episode with someone. It would really help us to grow our show and share these valuable tips and strategies with others. Have a great day.George Wright III“It’s Never Too Late to Start Living the Life You Were Meant to Live”FREE Daily Mastermind Resources:CONNECT with George & Access Tons of ResourcesGet access to Proven Strategies and Time-Test Principles for Success.
