The Man
Everyone has a story to tell, but few would prove to be as profound and inspirational as that of Mr. Kenneth Brown. Born into impoverished conditions, his teen parents raised him and his siblings, to never exist poor in spirit or drive. Though starting his journey in less than ideal circumstances, his focus and hunger for excellence, has led to monumental personal and professional opportunities. As one of the youngest McDonald's owners and operators, he has proven to be a formidable presence in the arena of entrepreneurial accomplishment.
The Mission
Chronicling the story of Ken's preparation for success in his first book entitled "A Leap of Faith", he makes clear his life's goal- to Live In Freedom Everyday (L.I.F.E.). This well worn ambition shall soon grace the pages of his latest book, which bares the same title. Here, Ken's focus is the presentation of the 'Six principles for Successful Living', where he continues to challenge himself and others to accomplish their full potential. His favorite mantra is "Life is 10% of what happens to you and 90% of how you respond to it." He is proving to change a lot of lives, as he walks what he talks.
The Movement
As clear as the call of a herald, is the voice of Ken Brown in this age of mediocrity. His message of hope, delivered across this nation, serves to propel the small and the great alike to pursue a new level of accomplishment. Infecting and empowering by words shared in due season, Ken's insight and fervor engages all to ascendancy, long after his physical presence is absent. Building so carefully upon a foundation laid by yesterday's greats, Ken Brown takes seriously the responsibility of today's agents to affect change; change that comes by leveraging opportunities through words as well as work, stirring tomorrow's achievers. With endorsements from renowned mentors Les Brown, Tavis Smiley, Ronald Hariston, and Herbert Harris, you can see that Ken Brown is well equipped to encourage others, inspire dreams, and instill hope.
