Ben Johnson

Catch Ben on Do Radio: Being Well with Ian Laming 26th-1st February 2026.

Ben is a long-time entrepreneur, investor, advisor, writer, coach and teacher to fellow leaders, execs, founders, visionaries and their teams.

Ben has navigated the highs of and the lows of life. He calls the low “a deep, icy crevasse”. His passion is to take what he has learned and help people, particularly those stuck in work they don’t like, for people they don’t respect, or trapped in ideas not of their making. He works with people to unpick the stories they tell themselves, learn to trust the process, let go of control and let change happen naturally.

He’s a big advocate of spending more time in nature, getting your hands dirty (literally), tending to new life and remembering that sometimes you have to cut the tree back to invite new growth.
