#50: Overcoming Adversity with the Power of Focus & Tenacity - My Personal Journey as interviewed by Ali Flynn

This episode’s guest is Ben Law, The Financial Bloke.

While Ben is a successful coach and podcaster in the agriculture space, today he’ll be discussing the incredibly challenging journey he faced when he and his wife chose to try and have kids, despite the fact he had been told he'd never be able to have children years earlier.

In this episode Ben shares:

• What it felt like to be told he would never be a father
• The painful and emotional process men must go through during IVF
• How the IVF process was socially isolating and caused him to lose friends
• What happened when they tried for a second child
• The mental resilience he needed to get through it and his advice for others trying

Key Quotes

• “The doctor looked at me one day and said, ‘We’re scraping the bottom of the barrel with you, aren’t we?’”
• “We lost friends over that, especially in the guy area.”
• “We went through the first round of IVF and the doctor essentially said we were wasting our money and should give up.”
