There’s something powerful—almost therapeutic—about podcasting. For Benjamin Haugh, founder of All Nation Restoration, podcasting has become more than a medium—it’s a mindset. In the middle of managing a high-pressure restoration business, Ben has discovered that podcasting offers something rare in the world of entrepreneurship: clarity, connection, and community.
If you walk into his office, you’ll quickly notice the podcast equipment—and you might even find yourself podcasting as a way of having your actual meeting. Benjamin Haugh sees it as one of his secret weapons for creating honest, meaningful, and thought-provoking conversations. Plus, it’s fun.
Recently, he was invited to be a guest on a podcast in New York City by iHeart Media—The against, hosted by Ben Walter, the CEO of Chase for Business.
“When they invited me onto the podcast,” Benjamin recalls, “I was like, Why would you want ME on your show? I’m the guy who lost a million dollars of brand new Mercedes vans down the creek…”
But in time, Benjamin realized that through tragedy, resilience and growth are often revealed—something he’d never “fully” reflected on before.
But in time, Benjamin realized that through tragedy, resilience and growth are often revealed—something he’d never “fully” reflected on before.
Failures come and go, and sometimes, if you never talk about them—never sit with what happened—they remain unresolved.
“It hit me: what I went through was really hard… and somehow, I made it. And I actually learned from it.”
Ben adds,
“I’m so thankful for that invitation. Ben Walter from
Chase for Business really pushed me to reflect, and I’m incredibly grateful for everything Chase Bank has done for All Nation Restoration.”
Entrepreneurs live in their heads. “We’re constantly juggling strategies, solving problems, and looking five steps ahead. But as Benjamin puts it, “None of that thinking helps unless you say it out loud. Talking is when the real insight hits.”
Podcasting forces you to slow down and think out loud—not in a boardroom, but in a conversation. That act alone turns chaos into clarity. Whether it’s riffing on a recent challenge or walking through a decision you’r
e wrestling with, podcasting becomes a form of real-time reflection.
Benjamin was recently invited to be a guest on The Unshakeables, the iHeart Media podcast hosted by Ben Walters the CEO of Chase Business Banking. The conversation caught him off guard in the best way.
“I loved the dialogue,” Benjamin shared. “It was something you truly don’t think about in the day-to-day of running a business—but gosh, it brings out the pieces you forgot, or hadn’t really thought about. Ben (Walter) pulled these pieces out of me and some of these moments were “Light bulb” moments…”
Moments like this are a perfect example of what podcasting can unlock. It’s not just surface-level talk—it’s real, thought-provoking, and often deeply personal. These interviews often reveal insights you didn’t even realize you were carrying.
You talk, you digest:
As Benjamin says “ In this case with literally a financial, business icon of mine (Ben Walter) , and I had the privilege to go home, and truly think about how I can make my business more successful. Nothing like this truly had ever happened in my life like this. Ground breaking. “

Benjamin doesn’t just podcast to share. He podcasts to learn.
“The best part about podcasting,” he says, “is sitting down with someone smarter than me and just asking questions.”
When you bring someone into your podcast space—or hop onto someone else’s—you unlock a shortcut to experience, mentorship, and new perspectives. It’s like having a front-row seat to a mini-masterclass, and your audience gets to sit in, too.
It’s not about being the expert—it’s about being the student.
Benjamin is the first to admit that the grind of running a company like All Nation Restoration is real. From hiring and scaling to facing unexpected disasters, the road isn’t ever smooth.
But podcasting has become his outlet to process it all.
It’s where he explores big-picture questions like:
These conversations don’t just stay on the mic—they fuel better decisions back in the business.
Podcasting isn’t about polished soundbites—it’s about real stories.
Take Harrison, a 24-year-old entrepreneur Ben recently interviewed. During the pandemic Harrison was deep in a college degree program in finance and realized, he wanted to get to work, and his vision wasn’t sitting in the classroom…it was being a business owner. Harrison went from ditching a finance job and walking into classes, to starting a business in Austin Texas. Harrison came in the office and said, “I was anticipating failure. But I figured I’d give it a year. If I crash and burn, I can go back home.”
his young business owner— spilled it, raw vulnerability, tons of excitement.. it was eye opening.
Spoiler alert: he’s still here—and thriving.
That kind of honesty is what builds trust. It’s what makes podcasting human. And that’s exactly what entrepreneurship needs more of.
You don’t need a big audience to get value out of podcasting. Sometimes, the most important person to hear what you have to say… is you.
It helps you find your voice. Refine your thinking. And connect with the people who need your story.
