How To Build a 100-Year Plan with John Leslie Brown

John Leslie Brown

Episode 87

Legacy always trumps currency…

In episode 87, we had the great privilege to have a powerful conversation with one of the legendary motivational speakers in the world, Les Brown’s son, John Leslie Brown.

We talked to John about creating a 100-year plan. Think about that for just a second… a 100-year plan!

You see everyone wants to build a short-term plan, a one-year plan, attain instant gratification, be an overnight success, and try and get the “big cash out day” as soon as possible.

Unfortunately, the short-term plans and mindsets can come back to bite you.

Instead, think about a 100-year plan and leaving a legacy even when you are gone.

Money is great, but leaving a legacy that will impact lives will always trump currency.

We also talk to John about his book “the Harvard Effect,” the expectations he has being one of Les Brown’s sons, him running for California governor, and more.
