#94 Even His Real Story Sounds Like Fiction - Todd Brown, Author

felony inc podcast

Established author and professional audio voice, Todd Brown joins the Felony Inc. family yet again. Even with all his success, Todd never forgets to appreciate where he has come from and where he is at the moment. He still gets up in the middle of the night, walks around his home and touches everything, just to remind himself of how good life is. For the first time on the show, Todd talks about his childhood, where his mother took a beating from her husband on a regular basis. He was so outraged at the man that when he was 12, he took the shotgun stored in the closed, pointed it at the man point blank and pulled the trigger. "Click" was the only sound it made, as his mother had made the man unload the gun some days before, unbeknownst to Todd. Another beating for Todd and you get the picture. Todd ran away at 16 and a bus driver who noticed he rode the bus often to avoid going home and took Todd into her home until he got out of high school and joined the Navy. Fast forward: Now with about 40 titles under his belt, Todd is a known national quantity. And his current family situation is stable; even though his present wife is his fourth wife, they are celebrating their 18th anniversary. It can happen and Todd's great attitude is proof positive.
