Benjamin Smith is a school teacher by profession, but he’s really a serial not-for-profit entrepreneur. He is constantly aware of need in people, the community and the environment, but Ben is different in that he actually does something about what he sees. He began a clean-up initiative called Love-It-Clean, a conference called Positive Maths for Indigenous Students and once did a 250km run in the desert to raise awareness and money for type 1 diabetes. You’ll enjoy this conversation with an ordinary guy who has extraordinary resilience and motivation, and you’ll be inspired to get off your backside and make a difference.

Currently the principal at Edge Hill State School, Paul has also been heavily involved in local, regional and state organisations as a board member.
