In this episode of Clearer, Calmer, Wiser, Ben explores how to stay grounded amidst a relentless stream of daily stress—what one friend calls “an endless stream of minor catastrophes.” Through the lens of a Real Madrid vs Arsenal football match, Ben reflects on the balance between frantic redhead energy and cool bluehead clarity, and why the sweet spot between them—what the Buddha might call the “middle way”—is where wise leadership lives. He offers a simple but powerful technique using breath and peripheral vision to reset your nervous system when life gets overwhelming. For thoughtful men navigating work, family, and life—this is a practical invitation to pause, settle, and lead with strength and humility.
