You lead. You speak clearly. You provide. Yet no one truly listens anymore.
Your team misses deadlines. Your kids test your boundaries. Your wife feels distant.

It’s not a lack of authority, charisma, or clarity.
It’s something far more dangerous: Ghost Standards - the invisible gap between the standards you preach and the ones you actually live.

In this episode, Ben reveals: What Ghost Standards look like in real life 

  •  Why your wife, kids, and team see straight through you
  •  How to close the gap between what you say… and what you do
  •  The reason your leadership feels ignored and how to rebuild real respect
  •  How to lead without yelling, force, or fake “authority” hacks
  •  Why your current circle might be lowering your standards without you even knowing

 If you’ve ever felt like you're doing everything right but still not being heard or respected… this conversation will hit home.
