Thanks for joining me on The Restless Millennial Ben Simon!

In 2013, 19-year-old Ben experienced a huge tragedy. His father was diagnosed with cancer and died later that year at the age of 49.

Because his father didn't make it to his retirement, Ben developed a new lease on life.

He wanted to make sure he loved his work, so that way he'd have no regrets if he suffered a similar fate. Both Ben's parents were elementary school teachers, and Ben was well on the way to becoming a teacher himself.

But after his father's death he decided not to pursue a career in traditional education.

Ben, a hardcore music fan and talented guitar player, started Ben Simon Guitar Lessons in 2016. Since then he's built his business to over 70 weekly clients.

Early on, Ben taught guitar during the day and was prepared to work the night shift at a local grocery store. However, his business took off so fast that he never had to get a second job.

I wanted to get him on The Restless Millennial to share his emotional story as well as to inspire youth to pursue their passions without quitting their day jobs.
