You may have met Ben Hartranft at an Eagles game or during the Phillies World Series run. He's a refreshing ball of energy and brings joy everywhere he goes. He and his mom Sandy Hartranft joined Jenn & Bill on the morning show to talk about Ben's work as a public motivator as well as Sandy's new book, "Swinging From the Chandelier: Finding Joy in the Journey Through Autism" that's available now on benergy1.com.
Ben was diagnosed with Autism at the age of 2. Ben says his journey began when he started raising money for the Eagles Autism Challenge. After a few years of fundraising he was invited to be a guest on The Ellen Show to promote Autism Awareness and raise funds for research. From that moment on, he knew his dream was to be an advocate for Autism Awareness taking awareness into action.
Ben is now living that dream by sharing his story at schools, businesses, and organizations. He wants everyone to know that one kind person can change the world. Go out and Be The One! Listen to Bee Positive below for the full interview.
