About the Host

Ben Walters Profile Photo
Ben Walters

Passionate about empowering others, I am the founder of SuperPumped Consulting where I combine my entrepreneurial experience, pastoral leadership, and human insights to help individuals and businesses thrive. As a Harvard and TCU alumnus, I have cultivated a diverse skill set through years of hands-on experience in business ownership, leadership, and community engagement. I recently completed a three-year undercover boss stint performing entry level work, from flipping burgers to delivering packages, bussing tables to moving heavy objects to learn firsthand the challenges and opportunities to recruit, motivate and retain frontline workers. I have a bottom to top framework to build, scale, and optimize organizational performance.

My entrepreneurial leadership includes founding and managing multiple businesses, from innovative ghost kitchens in multiple cities to a turning around a coffee shop even though I don't drink coffee, from commercial cleaning to starting a drive-thru Salad business. At SuperPumped Consulting, I offer comprehensive support through business startup consulting, life coaching from a psychological perspective, and our weekly podcast, which shares valuable insights on personal growth, leadership, and business success.

In addition to my professional pursuits, I am a dedicated pastor, husband, and father of three, deeply committed to family and community. I have the privilege of caring for my autistic brother, a role that enriches my understanding of resilience and compassion. I have also worked with disabled entrepreneurs in South Africa, persons experiencing homelessness in Boston, foster children in Cincinnati (including opening our home to one), women in substance abuse recovery, and helping rehabilitate prisoners through personal outreach (including a man who had me at knifepoint in my home).

Whether you’re an entrepreneur or executive seeking strategic guidance or an individual looking to enhance personal growth, I’m here to help you get SuperPumped about achieving your goals.
