Beyond The Surface
Welcome to Beyond the Surface—the podcast where real growth begins with real conversations.
I’m Michael A. Benton, and every week we dive into the deep stuff—mindset, purpose, parenting, failure, healing, and how to rebuild your life when things fall apart.
This isn’t surface-level motivation. It’s about transformation—from the inside out. If you’re tired of settling and ready to live with intention, you’re in the right place.
