episode 005: Ben Smith
02/23/2021
Ben Smith has been a sought-after creative mind for over two decades. His brilliant marketing instinct and eloquence is balanced with a philosopher’s soul - Ben has a moral compass that few possess, but many respect.
He grew up in Ontario skateboarding and snowboarding (both still passions of his), then found himself agency-side in the creative world - all while becoming a father at the age of 23. After a years-long stint as an executive in the real estate world, Ben struck out on his own in 2016, starting his own firm, Kinsman Marketing Partners.
In this intimate conversation, we explore his winding career journey, what it’s like being a father to two girls and two boys, the places where he’s still a work in progress, and more.
Ben is a rare human, and worth everyone getting to know.
