“I probably was a scary guy because I didn’t really have a switch back in the day,” he said. “I was in warrior mode 24/7, and I wanted to fight every single person that I saw. And actually, I think it kind of threw me off a little bit that not everybody in the world is a fighter. (Laughs)
„I wasn’t really that exposed to the world growing up. But then once you have kids and family and start dealing with the real world, the kids, more than anything, just calm me down. And so I learned how to turn that into a switch where I can turn it on and off.”

It’s this development as a fighter and a human being that Brown covers in his “Immortal Weekly Wisdom” newsletter. Unlike many substacks which are three paragraphs and ten plugs, Brown has gone all-in when it comes to sharing his knowledge and experience with the world. And it’s refreshing.
“I enjoy it,” he said. “I’ve actually written for a long time, just small pieces; it’s just a matter of actually getting it done and putting it out there that’s the hard part. But I actually write fairly regularly. It’s a different vibe when you can write something down. I can think through the thoughts a little more clearly and actually piece things out in a fashion that makes sense, whereas sometimes when you’re speaking, you kind of just go through the motions.”
Add in the guitar riffs he shows off on social media, and while he’s letting the rest of the world in, more importantly, he’s setting an example to his three kids of how to be well-rounded people.
