Today I speak with Benjamin Lodmell. No description could do justice to Ben’s incredible life. Ben is Norwegian-American, whose curiosity for life and the world took him on a journey that is the stuff of novels - or poetry, of which he is a prolific writer. Ben lives in Portugal with his wife and five children, the place he calls home after a globe-trotting life across continents. Ben is an independent advisor for family offices by trade, after a successful banking career, and a brief run for Congress. He set up his company’s charity activities focusing on education in Africa, with capacity to deliver services on the ground.
