Rise and Climb is his raw, unfiltered memoir of a boy who lost it alltwiceand found purpose through pain.

Growing up in the shadow of California redwoods and inside the roar of a motorcycle shop, Bens early life was defined by adventure and grit. But after losing his home to a wildfire, living in a trailer without running water, and battling panic attacks and loss, Ben turned to the only things that gave him powermusic, movement, and resilience. Through cassette tapes, weight benches scorched by fire, and the soul of hip-hop and reggae, Ben began to rebuild.
