The Art of Living Full and Dying Empty

from The Playbook · host David Meltzer, Entrepreneur.com

In today’s episode, I sit down with Les Brown to talk about building a legacy that outlives you through storytelling, service, and teaching others to carry the mission forward. We discuss why success without successors falls short, how to stay driven after reaching the top, and the importance of a compelling why. Les shares lessons from overcoming stage four cancer, navigating new levels and new devils, and focusing on who you become through the journey. We also get personal about family, sacrifice, and what it means to live full and die empty while creating impact that lasts beyond your lifetime.
