168 Hours

Ben Steele

Every day I try to remind myself that there are 168 hours in a week and that 168 hours is adequate time to make a difference in the world. This Podcast, also called 168 Hours, dissects the lives of creative and driven people in order to understand how they maximize their time in life to positively improve themselves and the situations surrounding them. During the show, I, Ben Steele, try to ask the hard questions to better understand my guest's lives and draw value from their experiences. Consider this an average man's guide to living a more than adequate life.

168 Hours - #1 - The episode that started it all
play

12/17/18 • 84 min

For this first episode of The Ben Steele Show, I had the opportunity to sit down with two of my good friends from the Marine Corps to discuss what makes them go hard everyday. We touch on a variety of topics from Marine Corps Officer Candidate School, to The Basic School, to being an officer in the military, to fitness, to morning routines, to things we are doing to live our best lives in general. I have to apologize, the audio isn't quite the quality I would have hoped for my first go, but there were still some golden nuggets in here so I figured I had to publish it. I urge you to come on this journey with me and guarantee it will positively influence your life as it has mine.
