Our Story Ken & Dr. Derschaun Brown

KEN BROWN
Game Changer, International Business Coach, Author and Entrepreneur,
and Inspirational Speaker
Everyone has a story to tell. Few, however, prove to be as profound and
inspirational as that of Mr. Kenneth Brown. He had every excuse to choose a
life of failure. At the age of 13 and 14, Ken’s parents brought their first child into
the world; by 17 and 18, they were mother and father to five children. In spite of
poverty and a trail of 10 evictions, Ken’s parents still emphasized the importance
of education and a strong work ethic.
After starting his journey in less than ideal circumstances, this Chicago native
worked his way through Southern Illinois University as a bus boy and waiter.
Once he graduated, he maintained his focus as well as his hunger for excellence,
which has paid off in monumental personal and professional opportunities. As
one of the youngest African-American owner/operators of two McDonald’s
franchises, Ken’s light has shone brightly in the arena of entrepreneurial
accomplishment.
Ken’s secret sauce to success is, “Never take lessons from a coach who never
played the game”. He has a proven track record that he has successfully played
the game and now works to help others do the same to live out their dreams.
He has authored and sold nearly 50,000 copies of two life-changing books, A
Leap of Faith and L.I.F.E. - Living In Freedom Everyday. Through media
appearances, seminars, workshops and business conferences, Ken has left a
lasting impact in the minds of thousands.
Recently featured in Ebony Magazine and with endorsements from renowned
mentors Les Brown, Tavis Smiley, Ronald Hairston and Herbert Harris, Ken has
what it takes to encourage others, inspire dreams and instill hope.
