To sit down with Tony-winning director Kenny Leon is to fall in love with your wildest hopes and dreams. For all those who dream of a life of accomplishment and success, who strive to succeed under competitive and challenging circumstances, whose dreams shine brightest and inspire others to even greater heights, this is the episode for you.
Leon is both the example and the lightning rod for dreamers. He is a Broadway director, actor, producer, author, Tony-winner, and philanthropist who has worked with great talents like Denzel Washington, Angela Bassett, Samuel L. Jackson, Alicia Keys, August Wilson, and Toni Morrison, to name a few.
His lessons are plentiful and powerful: being true to who you are gives you the backbone to persevere through the darkest of times; training and the development of your craft must become a lifestyle choice; getting out there among big dreamers, doers, and people of integrity will be your guiding light; the bigger the dream, the more adept you must become at galvanizing your community, and serving their dreams at the same time.
