Welcome to the latest episode of the "Disrupt Nation" podcast, where we bring you inspiring conversations with disruptors and thought leaders from around the world. In today's episode, we have a very special guest, the legendary Les Brown, joining us to talk about what it means to be hungry for greatness and how to overcome adversity to achieve success.
Host Tony Delgado kicks off the conversation by thanking Les for joining him on the show and acknowledging his commitment to helping people get an expanded vision of themselves. Les responds by thanking Tony for his own commitment to living a life that will outlive him and for being a true brother in the pursuit of greatness.
As the conversation deepens, Tony and Les discuss the current state of the world and the divisiveness that seems to be all around us. Despite this, Les remains optimistic and encourages listeners to focus on creating things that will last longer than themselves, to focus on bigger problems and to expand their vision of what's possible.
They talk about the importance of being hungry, not just for material success, but for doing something that you love so much that you would do it for free. Les shares his own story of being rejected by a company that didn't believe a black speaker could be successful, and how he used that rejection as motivation to find a way to win.
Tony and Les also discuss the role of appearances and how people can be judged based on their race, gender, or other factors that have nothing to do with their abilities or character. They talk about the need to persist and persevere in the face of adversity and to come together to create a better future for ourselves and our children.
