Summary

Anthony Brown spent 23 years living on the streets battling homelessness, addiction and incarceration. He describes his state of mind as one without hope, trying not to feel, trying not to care. Until one day a police officer asked if he wanted some help. Today Anthony is a registered nurse, an author, speaker and founder of Brown Manor, a safe place where those in need can restore their lives.


In this episode:

  • The impact of his childhood and early alcohol and drug abuse.
  • Running away from home with a carnival at the age of 14.
  • His experience living on the streets.
  • The juxtaposition of prison being a reprieve. 
  • The two people that helped redirect his path to become the man he is today.
  • The source of the solution for homelessness, according to Anthony.
