Ben’s Call Your Shot framework gives teams a practical way to align people around their goals, create accountability, and maintain the urgency required to meet them.
Ben shows leaders how to turn goals into something their people can see, own, measure, and pursue together — creating the clarity and alignment needed to keep executing long term.
Ben doesn’t make you choose between inspiration and application. His unforgettable story reminds audiences they can Disobey Average too, and then he hands them the tools to go do it.
Ben Kjar has spent his life doing what others thought he couldn’t — and helping people rethink what’s possible for themselves. Born with Crouzon Syndrome, a rare craniofacial condition, he grew up navigating surgeries, setbacks, and other people’s assumptions about his future. But he chose to Disobey Average, becoming Utah Valley University’s first-ever NCAA Division I Wrestling All-American, a Greco-Roman World Champion at age 40, and a real estate entrepreneur who’s built multi-million-dollar companies, as well as the subject of the award-winning documentary Standout: The Ben Kjar Story. He brings that same mindset to organizations, empowering sales kickoffs, leadership summits, and audiences worldwide to stop playing small and start taking action.
Turn Bold Goals into Focused Action
Most organizations don't have a shortage of goals — they have a shortage of committed action. People hear the targets, feel the energy in the room, and leave with good intentions. Then Monday happens. Not with Ben. His memorable Call Your Shot framework shows audiences how to move from intention to action — quickly.
This year-long program creates clarity, accountability and energy for your entire organization. Using measurable KPIs for each department, Ben will work with you to create a challenge for each employee to meet. The program includes year-long touchpoints and ending celebrations.
There’s a reason Ben’s story became an award-winning documentary. Powerful, raw, and triumphant, his story reminds audiences that when impossible dreams collide with brutal reality, that doesn’t mean they have to listen.
You don’t become a Greco-Roman World Champion by waiting for the ideal moment. Ben equips audiences with practical ways to commit right now to the goals that matter: get clear, find your Shot Callers — the people who'll hold you to it — put a clock on it, and start moving.
Ben doesn’t just help your audience achieve their goals; he helps you achieve yours. He’ll meet with you before your event to discuss your organization, event theme, and meeting topics so he can customize his keynote for maximum impact and momentum.
When you contact us, we respond within one business hour. We’ll reach out via phone and email to make sure you get the answers you need as quickly as you need them. Even if you need us over the weekend, we’re there — it just may take more than an hour.
We help you interpret what’s happening in the market and translate all the noise into a clear direction. The result? The right voice with the right ideas for the moment you’re facing — even if it means we refer you to another agency.
From the first call to post-event follow-up, we handle every engagement with discretion and precision. There are no surprises, just a dedicated team handling all the logistics, from checklists to flight tracking, so you can focus on the event, not the details.
We set goals that we thought were maybe unachievable before, and I've witnessed as many of these goals have been achieved.
Ben's story is Phenomenal!
We've had some awesome speakers through the years...some really good ones: Seals, business people, etc. I would argue Ben is the best speaker we've ever had!
His story of overcoming adversity, living with intention and choosing greatness...
was a powerful reminder that resilience isn't just about getting through. It's about rising up and showing up as your whole self. Ben didn't just speak to us; he moved us.
