For years, Ben chased the adrenaline of eight seconds atop some of the rankest bulls in the world on the PBR Tour. But when the cheers faded and the gates closed, a much more difficult ride began.

In Part 1 of this two-part conversation, Ben opens up about life on the professional bull riding circuit, the culture that surrounds it, and how the physical toll of the sport and the pressures of the lifestyle led him down a dangerous path with alcohol. What started as a way to cope slowly turned into a battle that nearly cost him everything — including his health.

This episode dives into the highs, the crashes, and the moments that forced Ben to confront the reality of where his life was headed.

It’s a raw and honest conversation about pain, accountability, and the beginning of a fight far tougher than any bull he ever rode.

Part 2 drops March 15 at 8PM.
