Ben brings a diverse resume to his latest company. From 2014-2019 he served as co-chair of Disney Media Networks and President of the Disney ABC television group. In addition to writing the New York Times best-seller "The Survivors Club," Ben and his sister Elizabeth were the first brother-sister pair to ever be Rhodes Scholars.

Ben's latest venture, Mojo, aims to "bring the magic back to youth sports." Buckle up for an amazing chat.
