How to Live a Life That Will Outlive You

from The Playbook · host David Meltzer, Entrepreneur.com

In today’s episode, I sit down with legendary speaker and author Les Brown, whose voice has inspired millions for more than four decades. At 80 years old and cancer free, Les opens up about what the disease taught him about purpose, momentum, and legacy. He shares how his start in door-to-door sales sharpened the resilience that carried him through rejection, labels, and the odds stacked against him. From radio to arenas, Les has stayed ahead by constantly evolving, mentoring others, and surrounding himself with strong communities. His message is clear: know your why, work with the difficulty, and never let go of the promises you make to yourself.
