Silencing the Noise w/ Ben Dryden

Are you confused about what you want to do with your life?

Feeling like you don’t have it all figured out yet?

Well, you’re about to feel a lot worse because at just 18 years old, Ben Dryden had already established his first corporate branding company!

The real kicker is that this would go on to be just one of THREE of Ben’s ventures.

So uh, how’s everyone feeling now?

As Chris Watt-Pringle says, “Panic is an underrated emotion,” and that is basically where Ben’s story starts.

His parents had stopped giving regular allowances, and if he wanted any chance of impressing a potential partner, he needed to make money.

Perhaps you’re wondering, “But Cal, how do I just start a business when I’m clueless?”

I’M SO GLAD YOU ASKED.

The trick is to silence the noise.

Ben took a 1-month sabbatical in Uganda where he quite literally disappeared from society.

No social media. No familiar faces.

Just him, roaming the streets of the rural depths of East Africa. With no external influences around to flood your thoughts, you’d be amazed at what YOU have to say.

Give it a go and who knows, maybe the CEO of Tiffany & Co will be sliding into your DMs by the time you get back (see 6:35).

Until next time,

None of Your Business
