“Christopher Brown dares founders and entrepreneurs to dream of a better way to lead and live. This book reveals why clarity comes from distance—and how strategic disconnection can help you reset priorities and return as a stronger leader in business and in life.”

— Andrew Morrison
Founder & CEO, Earthly Pet Company

“Permission to Unplug isn’t a feel-good manifesto—it’s an operating manual for founders who want a real life and a resilient business. Christopher shows you how to invest in systems, people, and planning so you can take time with loved ones and yourself without the anxiety spiral.”

— Derek D. Dicker
CVP, Enterprise Business Group, AMD

“Permission to Unplug delivers a message every driven leader needs to hear: the strongest, most unstoppable leaders aren’t the ones who try to control everything—but the ones who build teams and systems that can thrive without them. Christopher Brown takes on the hustle culture that keeps so many entrepreneurs stuck and offers a refreshing, practical path forward. Through honest stories and applicable lessons learned, he shows that stepping away doesn’t weaken your business—it strengthens it, sharpens your leadership, and gives you back the life you started the business for in the first place. If you want to build a company, and a life, that’s truly unstoppable, start here.”
