Remember the "Dell Dude" from early 2000? Ever wonder what happened to him?

I'm thrilled to tell you that we have actor Ben Curtis - also known as the Dell Dude from the famous commercials for Dell Computers - guest Hey Change to share his story of quick fame, PSTD, addiction, and recovery. Ben passionately shares his story - the highs and the lows - and talks about how having a coach helped him get out from where he was and into the place he is today, recovered and thriving!

In this episode:

• The value of a coach and what having one can do to you
• How to think about spiritual growth and healing
• The importance of self-empowerment in activism
• Tips for everyday healing and empowerment

About Ben:

Ben Curtis is an American actor who became known as the Dell Dude in a series of commercials for Dell Computers between 2000 and 2003. But then a series of events, that you’re about to learn about soon, led him down a windling path and to a quite dark place where the only way out was to reach out a hand and ask for help.

Today, Ben is a recovered addict, an experienced actor in recent shows like Orange is The New Black and Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, he’s a musician with his own band Dirty Mae, but most importantly he’s a life coach on a mission to help - especially men - find self-love, courage, * compassion.
