Adolph “Doc” Brown is a businessman, author, investor, educator, researcher, keynote speaker, and much more, and his bio advances his hope that he leaves those he interacts with ready to “learn, laugh and lead.”

However, if you ask him – which Change Starts Here host Dustin Odham did – he’s “one of many of God’s children.”

“That’s my filter for everything that I do and everything that I attempt to say,” Brown said.

On this episode, Brown joined Odham for a walk through many topics and Doc’s, whose dream is to be “Good Medicine” for those he touches, winding and illustrious career from corporate entrepreneur to a world-class educator and agent of change.

Still, his internal motivation, like his answer regarding who he is and why he loves what he does, is rather simple.

“I want the world to be a better place,” Brown said. “It’s not necessarily something that I wanted to do quite the way I’m doing it – I actually love research. I’m passionate about research. I was actually asked to go on tour by, at the time, American general Colin Powell.”

As a tenured educator, Brown found himself being awakened each night, leading him to ask his grandfather – a farmer with an elementary education who Brown called the wisest man he’d ever met – for advice.

His answer, in keeping with his grandson, was simple. Brown was being called.

Since, Brown has been falling that calling, uncomfortable or not – and Odham and Brown spoke about that journey at length.
