Hello, I’m Ben Johnson.

An investor / advisor - coaching and teaching leaders, execs, founders and visionaries (curios folk, peripheral thinkers all) :

- balance and poise, whatever your everyday challenges and compulsions.
- presence, focus, wise attention
- a journey into spacious, joyful, more heart full work, rich in impact.

...and in the process, helping create teams and businesses infused with the same.

Here’s what I’m currently up to (03/’25):

❤️ LeanMind - a growing community of curious, thoughtful peripheral thinkers, all leaders, directors and owners of some of the world's biggest companies and most inspiring start ups.

Helping them lead with, and create companies infused with, clarity, wisdom, simplicity and joy.

Tools, teachings, courses and coaching. Join us here.

💜 Clearer, Calmer, Wiser - A short, daily podcast for these same curious folk. May your kids be less annoying and the quiet worries - money pressure, team tension, sleepless nights - be washed away. In the pods, I share the grounded tools to help you reset fast. Have a listen here.

❤️Check out Peripheral Thinking: my blog and podcast: celebrating people and ideas from the margins, the periphery. Currently between season 2 and 3.

🧡I co-own and am a Director of the online platform, Sangha.Live, home to 100,000 beautiful people learning to sit down, be quiet and meditate.

💜 I write a weekly newsletter helping thousands of you to simplicity, clarity and calm. Sign up here.

All this in service of unraveling and raveling back together again.

Ben occupies a rare middle ground where mindfulness and deep entrepreneurial and commercial experience meet. Working together, Ben helped me slow down to greater clarity, deeper self awareness, better prioritisation, clearer focus and stronger belief, helping me grow new businesses, and reach, value and impact in the process.
