It’s an interview with Speaker & Coach on Happiness, Vernon Brown. This episode is about: Committing To Your Success While Being You.
I first met Vernon a few years ago. Every time we talk, I get energy and I think you will experience that same energy in this episode’s interview. Vernon has a great story that led him to speak about and coaching people to “find their happi”!
In this interview, we talk about:
- How going from being called “the fat, ugly, stupid guy” to working as a model in New York has, as Vernon says it, “taught me to be me” and how being okay with who you are is attractive.
- What common trait that all superheroes have and how applying that trait actually makes your life easier.
- How in just 10 days, Vernon says that you can make a new standard for yourself.
- Why happiness is so important.
- We also talk about one of my favorite topics “Self-Leadership”. Not only why many leaders are so bad at leading themselves but what leaders can do to lead themselves better.

Thank you for listening to The Authentic Leader Show Podcast.
I look forward to seeing you next time. Until then, remember, you don’t need to be a leader of leaders. Just be the leader others want to follow. Be, an Authentic Leader.
