Ben Gothard's philosophy revolves around the 7 core disciplines of life (remembered via the acronym SIPFIRE: Spiritual, Industrial, Physical, Financial, Intellectual, Relational, Emotional). He strives for daily improvement in each discipline to continuously compound personal growth over time. Industrially, Ben is laser focused on building the metaverse. By day he's acquiring digital agencies as an M&A Associate with AVA and scaling a world class digital agency as VP of Business Development for Lucyd. By night he's deep in the crypto gaming rabbit hole as Founder of the Crypto Gaming Institute, Citizen of NEO Tokyo, Host of Decentral Gamer & DappRadio, and advisor to FactoryDAO, Go MetaRail, Netherlords & AFKDAO. His past leadership roles include serving as VP of Partnerships at Dropified (Inc 5k Fastest Growing Company in America), Founder of Life Mastery Foundation, Founder of Project EGG, Author of CEO at 20 (and more, including an Amazon best seller), and Co-Founder of Finals Fest, among other experiments. Ben has always tried to level up, seeking mentorship from the world's most incredible people. One of the most notable is Ben Gay III, who is the last living protege of Dr. Napoleon Hill (author of Think & Grow Rich), the man who dedicated his life to documenting his mentor Andrew Carnegie's philosophy of success. Carnegie's achievement framework, detailed in Think & Grow Rich, paired with sage wisdom on people detailed in How To Win Friends & Influence People have deeply influenced Gothard's life. To sum it up, Ben strives to have his epitaph mirror Carnegie's: "One Who Surrounded Himself With Those Better Than He." Gothard's study of human relations has led to a love of working with people, including M&A dealmaking at AVA, business development at Lucyd, partnership building at Dropified, and founding of the Life Mastery Foundation, where Ben grew his sales team to 150 people, reaching 50,000+ students globally. Gothard's passions for learning & curiosity have led him to host 5x podcasts, currently Decentral Gamer, DappRadio & Crypto Gaming Institute, but starting with Project EGG. He's interviewed billionaires, NYT best selling authors, Emmy Award winners, and over 600 more for his peak audience of 30,000+ people per month in 50+ countries on all major podcasting/live streaming platforms. He is an expert skier, all-time highest scoring player of his high school basketball team, multi-band guitar player, part time blogger/philosopher/poet, lover of his Jewish heritage, and possibly the most positive person you'll ever meet.
