How We Do
How We Do is the podcast that pulls back the curtain on what success takes. Hosted by Meg Carlisle, each episode dives into the untold stories behind growth, resilience, and leadership, because the journey isn’t always clean or linear. It's messy, human, and often hard.
Through raw and honest conversations with successful people from all walks of life, How We Do explores the failures, pivots, and personal breakthroughs that shaped their paths. It's not just about what worked, it's about what didn’t, and what they learned along the way.
Why it matters
• It normalizes the hard parts of success
• It helps listeners grow through real, relatable stories
• It inspires resilience through truth, not perfection
Meg brings vulnerability, curiosity, and warmth to every interview, creating a space where guests open up and listeners feel seen. You’ll leave each episode with emotional insight and practical tools to fuel your journey.
This is not just another success podcast.
This is how we do, through the mess, through the doubt, and with deep honesty.

Bullied as a Kid with Crouzon Syndrome to Entrepreneur and World Champion
What does it take to go from being bullied for how you were born to becoming a world champion athlete and a successful entrepreneur?
In this inspiring episode of How We Do, host Meg Carlisle sits down with Ben Kjar, a motivational speaker, real estate entrepreneur, Greco-Roman world wrestling champion, and father of three. Born with a rare condition called Crouzon Syndrome, Ben was told he’d never live a normal life. Instead, he chose to live an extraordinary one.
Ben shares how he battled self-doubt, relentless bullying, and medical setbacks, then rose to become Utah Valley University’s first-ever Division I All-American wrestler. But that was just the beginning. He went on to build a multimillion-dollar real estate portfolio, travel the world sharing his message, and start a family with his wife, Nicole, through adoption after facing heartbreak and loss.
From confidence to faith, pain to purpose, Ben’s story is a masterclass in living like a victor, not a victim. This episode is packed with mindset gems, entrepreneurial wisdom, and powerful reminders to own your story and stand out.
