BENS OLANO
Podcast Network Coordinator | Podcast Host Relations Connecting voices, building influence, and turning conversations into impact.
Bens is the first voice most future podcast hosts hear. And he makes it count.
He reaches out to real estate professionals across the U.S., inviting them to join the Icons platform to share their stories and expertise. He joined the #1 Real Estate Podcast Network in October 2025 because the role fit him perfectly: part communication, part creativity, all about helping business owners get heard. If someone ends up on the Icons network, there's a good chance Bens is the reason they said yes.
Outside of Work
Bens is an outdoors guy. Pickleball, hiking, running, photography, and a solid appreciation for fashion. He listens to podcasts and music, plays computer games, and genuinely loves the sea and the ocean. Here's the catch: he doesn't know how to swim. Loves the ocean. Can't swim in it. The man stands at the edge of the water with the same energy he brings to cold outreach: fully committed, zero fear, figuring it out as he goes.

KEY CONTRIBUTIONS
THE GUY WHO MAKES STRANGERS SAY YES
Most outreach fails because it sounds like outreach. Scripted, rushed, forgettable. The person on the other end can feel it, and they tune out before the second sentence.
Bens doesn't work that way. He treats every call like a real conversation because that's what it is. He listens, he adjusts, and he finds the angle that makes someone think, "Actually, yeah, I do have something worth sharing." That's not a sales trick. That's a skill built on persistence, curiosity, and genuinely caring about the person on the other end.
"I'm motivated by growth, both mine and the people I connect with," he says. "Every conversation is a chance to improve." That mindset is what separates someone who dials numbers from someone who builds a network. Bens builds the network.
