Elevate Up_Episode #5: Interview with Ben Ruffner ”Poised in the Pocket of Life”

Elevate Up

Welcome to Episode 5 on the Elevate Up Podcast where I have the sacred opportunity to unpack and share the nuggets of wisdom from the life, work, and impact of everyday heroes!
Today, I was so pumped to sit down with my fifth hero, Ben Ruffner, who is a Lieutenant Colonel in the U.S. Army National Guard. He is literally my neighbor and first Florida friend since moving to the great state of Florida in July of 2022. He is married to Paula for 16 years and has 3 beautiful children, Marshall, Remington, and Camille. He lives in Jacksonville, Florida.
In our conversation, Ben talks about his “superpower” of being poised as a leader, grounded in his faith and how to be a servant leader. He shared how a leader must model how to serve both at home and work, while staying connected to their own growth by doing the “reps” in the early morning. He showed us that a leader must lead by example in directly engaging & interacting with their teams, getting to know “who they are” while increasing mutual trust and agreements. He demonstrated what an influential leader looks, sounds, and feels like in the 21st century.
Join me as Ben peels back the layers of what a leader looks like at home, work and play. There is a leader inside ALL of us, the question is who is helping bring out ALL of beauty within us along the way! Ben brings out the best in me and I know he will light a spark within you as well!!
