The post is from the MeidasTouch podcast's 'Ben' broadcast, and source [0] identifies Ben Meiselas as the MeidasTouch host, so the speaker is Ben Meiselas. Several unrated profiles give a May 19, 1985 birth date, which makes him 41 on 2026-09-15, though other low-credibility profiles list 36, 37, or 40 and no tier1 source states his age directly.

This claim is about the present, so it is judged as of the day it was checked.

What was said

… That's how I approach all of this. It's why I did this network. It's why I've had the privilege, and I've had the fortune to be privileged and fortunate in my life, and I'm 41 years old, and I've been able to professionally and personally accomplish life things that others maybe don't have, and I feel that it's my duty and obligation at this stage to do anything in my power, everything in my power, to help, from here in the United States to …

What we found

Supports. Source [0] (PolitiFact) identifies Ben Meiselas as the lawyer and podcast host for MeidasTouch, matching the post's author and title 'with Ben'.[1]

Supports. Multiple profiles give a May 19, 1985 birth date and list his age as 41 in 2026, which yields 41 on 2026-09-15.[2][3][4]

Contradicts. Other unrated profiles list him as 40 (2026) or give birth years of 1989 and ages of 36 or 37, but these are older or inconsistent low-credibility pages.[5][6][7][8]

Context. No tier1 or primary source directly states the speaker's age; the evidence is indirect and comes from unrated biography sites, so confidence is capped.[2][3][4]
