Ben Swann, investigative journalist, founder and CEO of Truth in Media, joins The Determined Society for a powerful conversation on journalism, truth, controversy, resilience, faith, family, and what it means to run toward the storm. In this episode, Shawn French and Ben discuss his unconventional upbringing as one of ten homeschooled children, earning a college degree at 15, entering television news, becoming an award-winning journalist, asking difficult questions in mainstream media, losing major platforms, and rebuilding independently through Truth in Media. Ben shares how consistency, conviction, and the willingness to challenge powerful narratives shaped his career and why he believes the fastest way out of the storm is through it. This episode is about more than media. It is about conviction, restoration, resilience, and the determination to keep moving forward without abandoning the truth that brought you here.
