## Resource

Liz sits down with former San Francisco Mayor and legendary California Assembly Speaker Willie Brown. From growing up in Mineola, Texas during segregation to becoming one of the most influential leaders in California history, Brown reflects on the values that shaped his life—education, discipline, service, and listening. He shares how his mother and grandmother instilled a sense of responsibility to contribute to humankind, why working across differences is essential, and how real leadership comes from helping others without expecting anything in return. This conversation is a masterclass in generosity, humility, and what it truly means to serve.
