ENCORE: The Fresh King Benjamin on "A Is For Adversity w / Jen Banks"
Ben Brown, also known as the Fresh King Benjamin, is a stand-up comedian who grew up in a Mormon polygamist compound.

He sees humor as a transcendent value that allows people to find something funny in difficult situations and not let them have power over them. Ben's goal is to elevate people's energy through comedy and help them respond to challenges as their best selves.

Harnessing the Power of Setting Boundaries
In this episode of 'Vibing the Apocalypse', host Fresh King Benjamin discusses the significance of setting personal boundaries as a key skill to navigate our post-apocalyptic world. Sharing his own experiences growing up in a polygamist Mormon compound and his subsequent escape into the outside world, Benjamin emphasizes the importance of recognizing one's self-worth and setting limits for self-preservation. He provides a four-step framework to setting effective boundaries: stating the inappropriate behavior, expressing how it makes you feel, describing the preferable behavior, and stating what you will do if your request is not honored. Benjamin advocates for the need to enforce respect and understanding in our dealings with others, considering the ever-increasing chaos of the world.
