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.

“Why Life Keeps Pushing Me: Leveling Up When You’re Forced to Move”
Have you ever felt like life keeps forcing you to move before you’re ready? Like just when you start to feel stable, something shifts—and you’re pushed into the unknown?
In this episode, I open up about a personal turning point I’m navigating right now. I recently got pushed out of a situation I wasn’t fully ready to leave—and it made me confront a pattern I’ve been repeating for years.
We’ll talk about:
- Why certain doors keep closing
- The danger of relying on willpower without a plan
- How to build systems that anchor your focus and fuel your consistency
- And what it really takes to commit at a deeper level when fear, doubt, and life pressures are pulling at you
This one’s raw, honest, and real. If you’re in a season of transition—or if life keeps testing your commitment—this conversation is for you.
