G. Brian Benson is a renowned author, inspirational advocate, Ironman triathlete, cross-country bicyclist, entrepreneur and philanthropist. Having authored two books, (Brian's List and Onward and Upward), Benson is now completing a third self-improvement title, If Brian Can Do It, I Can Do It!. His first book Brian's List - 26 1/2 Easy To Use Ideas On How To Live A Fun, Balanced, Healthy Life! was the winner of a 2009 Next Generation Indie Book Award in the Self-Help category. It was also an Award-Winning Finalist in the Self-Help Motivational Category of the National Best Books 2009 Awards, sponsored by USA Book News”. Benson hosts the radio show Inspiring Greatness from Within on the the Positive Living Network station, where he interviews illustrious, high-achieving role models like Rudy Ruettiger, Sheila Taormina, Tom Whittaker and Tori Murden-McClure. Affectionately known by his fans as "the advocate of inspiration" Benson provides free, daily inspiration on his Facebook fan page as well as on his lively blog. While for over 25 years Brian has led a very healthy lifestyle, due to life's challenging circumstances he found himself uncharacteristically out of balance. Therefore, to overcome his daunting obstacles, Brian devised the means to restore his true nature and his authentic self. Today he spends his time showing others how to do the same. From having mentored hundreds of troubled young people working as a community volunteer, Benson is eternally grateful to have gained the valuable lessons of listening, patience and empathy.
