Today our guest is Ben Gleib - host ,head writer and exec producer of the Emmy award nominated ‘’Idiotest, he was one of the star of Chelsea Lately for 7 years, he has been a regular on the Today show, he plays Marshall the Sloth in Ice Age: Continental Drift, he hosted ‘Oscars Road Trip’ for the ABC Oscar’s preshow for the 85thAcademy Awards, his videos have received over 60 million views and…. he ran a legitimate campaign for president in 2020 (President Biden even opened for him at an event in New Hampshire.)
All of that sounds fancy and all – but now I want you to read that all again knowing that between the age of 4 and 22 Ben suffered through a disfluency where he couldn’t talk properly and could hardly form words through a crippling stutter. Yet amongst the bullying and shame of this childhood he chose a career where his one job is to SPEAK! Way to show those bullies Ben and way to inspire all of us to work through our challenges! I am so grateful Ben chose to be so honest with us and share a part of his life he doesn’t often – I personally hope he does more now.
