Kevin Brown’s unconventional path to business and personal success has taught him that winning in business and life requires anything but conventional thinking. With a streetwise aptitude and a never-quit attitude, he worked his way from the front lines of business to the executive boardroom.

For two decades, Kevin was a sales and marketing executive who helped grow a little-known family business into an industry giant with annual revenues reaching two billion dollars.

People who were willing to use their gifts and abilities to serve others at a high level. This book is a guide to help everyday people discover and unleash their hero at work and in life.
