Ben Curtis: On being a Creation Coach, the Dell Dude, and going after your dreams with abandon.

Ben Curtis is a magician, award-winning actor, musician, and public speaker. He is also a Creation Coach dedicated to creating more love, compassion, and permission to go after your dreams with abandon.

You also probably recognize Ben as the iconic "The Dell Dude” from the Dell commercials in the early 2000s. Dell recently brought him back to kick off a new campaign. I can’t help but feel like somehow this is the circle of life. It truly is magical.

Ben and I have been meaning to record this podcast for quite some time since we are neighbors in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. What most people don’t know about “The Dell Dude” is that Ben is a really talented actor. Having studied at the best institutions. He attended New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts on an acting scholarship based on his audition. He studied at Tisch's Experimental Theater Wing (both in America and Amsterdam). Ben also attended the Lee Strasberg Institute & the Atlantic Theater Company.

This podcast was really inspiring and happened right when his Dell spots went live. It was inspiring to speak about dreams past and present. Dream on and share this episode with someone who would appreciate it.

Benita Conde: Life Coach and Founder of Create Radical Love.

“That was purely a belief holding me back. Our thoughts and our feelings are not real. They are ever flowing, and shifting, and changing. They are beautiful, and wonderful, and our imagination obviously creates (and those limiting and lacking beliefs) create a catalyst for us to create change. And for us to move forward. The limiting and lacking beliefs are the key component to keeping people anyone back from what they really desire. That loved, flowing life.”
