official bio

G. Brian Benson creates to stir hearts, spark self-discovery, and remind others of their own light. In 2008, Brian followed a hunch and left his family’s business, stepping into the unknown. Ever since, inspiration has followed. Letting intuition be his guide, he began to step out of his comfort zone and unexpected paths and talents started to emerge such as writing, acting, and crafting stories. Tapping into this emerging multi-creative energy, Brian began his own hero’s journey of self-realization and growth, which continues to influence his empowering and inspiring books, videos, and presentations.

Brian, an award-winning and #1 best-selling author, podcast host, viral video poet, mentor, filmmaker, producer, and TEDx speaker, knows the value of trusting intuition and wants to share his own personal journey of self-growth, discovery, observation, and accomplishment to help others reconnect with their own personal truths to live an authentic and fulfilling life. As a 4x Ironman triathlete, cross-country bicyclist, and cancer survivor, Brian knows the value of hard work and never giving up on his dreams, a message he shares with audiences through each of his creative expressions.

potential questions

Brian loves spontaneity with questions or observations that are in the moment so please feel free to ask him whatever seems interesting to you. In preparation for an interview we would recommend you watch his TEDx presentation, which is available on this page. It will shed some light on his intuitive process, and backstory.

Although Brian prefers not knowing ahead of time what he is going to be asked, here are some potential questions that will help get the conversation rolling.

  1. What got you started on your journey of writing and creating positive media?

  2. I understand you worked very hard at stepping out of your comfort zone to get where you are today? What were some of the things that you did?

  3. Did you find the process of stepping out of your comfort zone easy? Did it make you feel uncomfortable and vulnerable?

  4. Have you always been creative? What is the creativity process like for you?

  5. You take life balance very seriously…why is that?

  6. You are both a cancer survivor and had to go through open-heart surgery. What did those experiences teach you?

  7. I loved the messages in your two short films, Guitar Man and Searching for Happiness. Can you explain how you got into acting and what it has meant to you?

  8. It appears between all your projects and your Ironman finishes that you have mastered the art of setting and completing goals. Tell us more about that.
