Sharing Your Purpose: A conversation with Eddie Connor, Jr., Educator and Mogul

Welcome back to BrownVintage Radio Show. We are back with a new season, and I'm ready to give you more of what you don’t hear in mainstream. This show we will talk to Eddie Connor Jr., a noted author, evangelist, motivational speaker, and TV correspondent on CBS/CW 50 who is a walking testimony. At 15, he experienced pain that most teens at that age don’t go through. He was diagnosed with cancer, but Eddie defeated all the odds. The doctor’s said the cancer was terminal BUT God said it wasn’t. Eddie realizes that he was not born with a "silver spoon" in his mouth but was raised by a strong mother, who instilled in him life long values and the importance of governing himself as a positive individual. He proclaimed from Psalm 118:17, “I shall not die, but live and declare the works of the Lord.” Eddie affirms that he was "Destined to Overcome the Odds." A graduate of Eastern Michigan University, Eddie has earned a Bachelor of Science in Secondary Education. He is a recipient of the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Humanitarian Award and continually inspires young people with messages of hope, healing, and determination. Eddie Connor talks about his life and purpose in three books, ‘Purposefully Prepared to Persevere,’ ‘Collections of Reflections: Symphonies of Strength, Volumes 1-3,’ and ‘E.CON the ICON: from Pop Culture to President Barack Obama.’
