    My mom played his tapes in the car on the way to drop me off at school every morning. I am 40 now. I can remember him saying "if you can look up, you can get up". That always stuck with me. Thank you Mr. Les Brown.

    Les Brown took a chance on me as 22 year old author and motivational speaker. He gave me a written endorsement for my first two books. When other elders were threatened by my youth and talent, he helped with no incentive. I’m forever indebted to this giant of a man. 🌻🌼💐🌹

    Les Brown has changed my life. During corona I found him and listened to him nonstop. Now I listen to him when driving occasionally and if I have someone in the car that I really care about or see potential in I’ll stop playing music and just play him. It throws them off completely but after 10 minutes they’re instantly hooked. Got to pass his energy around. Thank you Les!
