About Our Guest:

Lee Brower understands that true success goes beyond financial wealth. It encompasses a holistic view that encompasses family values, relationships, and personal fulfillment. With over 19 years of experience coaching successful entrepreneurs through programs offered by Strategic Coach, Lee has gained profound insights into the challenges faced by families in the business world.

Empowered Wealth, the brainchild of Lee Brower, stands as a testament to his passion for empowering families. As a Business Family Coach, Lee believes that when families are empowered, they can overcome social, political, and economic obstacles, leading to a more harmonious and prosperous society.

What sets Lee Brower apart is his unwavering commitment to bridging the gap between family and business.
