Ben Branson

Ben Branson, Founder, Inventor & Charity lead, spent 39 years not knowing his brain worked differently. In that time, he pioneered the global non-alcoholic drinks movement with Seedlip, the world’s first distilled non-alcoholic spirit, taking it from his kitchen to 35 countries, 30 US states & 7,500 of the best bars, restaurants & hotels in just 3.5 years. He continues to lead & shape how we drink with innovations including Sylva & Seasn, the first distillery & maturation labs making aged non-alcoholic spirits. Ben’s autism & ADHD diagnosis in 2022 led to him creating The Hidden 20% 🟢, an award-winning neurodiversity charity, podcast & 300k strong community on a mission to include every mind using media, research & advocacy. Ben’s inspiring story charts the extremes of addiction, institutionalisation & abuse through to prove a different brain, properly understood, can change the world.
