Episode 119 – Ben Shirley Talks About Skid Row Marathon, Running, Music and More

Like many, Ben Shirley started his musical career in Los Angeles. But this isn’t your typical success story. This is a story of second chances, finding one’s true calling and not giving up. And running. Ben tells us about how he found his second chance through an incredible judge. If you’ve seen the documentary Skid Row Marathon, then you know. He also tells us about his current musical career and how running keeps him going. We can’t help but feel inspired!

  1. What a great conversation! I haven’t seen the movie yet but plan to watch on Peacock (there or Tubi). I never heard of either of you but sure enjoyed this podcast!

  2. Thank you, Martha. Ben is missed by many, in L.A. What a delight to get more insights for his own, unique story. Skid Row Marathon was a year jerker, for me, also. If and when you find yourself, here, I’m certain that you would enjoy a run with the group. Continued success to you.
