Ben Povlow dedicates his life to helping others. After a lifetime of turmoil and pain, he knows all too well the pitfalls of negativity, anger, self-hatred, and pain. For many years, he let those emotions dictate his life and paid the price for that. At twenty-eight-years-old, after struggling to find a way out of his despair, he found hope in the form of self-help books, seminars, and personal development tools and used them to change his life for the better. He soaked up as much knowledge as possible and learned how to become the best version of himself, physically and emotionally. Today, he lives a life he thought wasn't attainable for someone like him. And now, the knowledge and self-empowerment he gained serves as the foundation for The Self-Help Company, LLC, the company he founded to help others like him. When he's not working to build others up with his books, speaking engagements, his podcast, Raising Yourself Up, or working with clients as a Certified Life Coach, Ben enjoys spending time with his wife, Kathi, and his stepdaughter, Katelyn. He makes his home in a quiet suburb in central North Carolina. For more information about him or his work, visit his website: www.TheSelfHelpCompany.com
