  • This episode is a chat with Ben Pettingill, blind dad of two. When Ben was 16 he lost his eyesight overnight but he never let that hold him back and has achieved incredible things, including being a wonderful father. We have a chat on Ben’s amazing outlook on life and how he never takes anything for granted, nor focuses on what he cannot change. His tale will not only blow you away but inspire you in so many ways. If you thought parenting was hard, test doing it with your eyes closed! Ben is an absolute legend and we thank him for his time.
