    GC Brown

    in Business

    GC Brown aka as Gregory C. Brown, is an author. He has just released his latest book Sniff. He is also the Co-Founder of a new company, UpCup Koffee that is launching soon. GC Brown was good at making money but played fast and loose with his income taxes.  He was eventually charged with tax offenses, i.e. tax evasion, failure to file taxes on time and wire fraud. 
    Remarkably, despite being a felon who’s just finished serving 16 years in multiple federal facilities, GC believes this sentence was the best thing to ever happen to him. He was never one to shy away from a challenge. While he was serving the federal prison term, he read a newspaper article that said writing a novel is the third hardest thing to do. That's when he picked up a pen. That was in 2014. He hasn’t stopped writing since.
    UpCup Koffee is a functional mushroom coffee containing Lion's Maine mushrooms and Shilajit additives.  The health benefits of their additives are well documented and are quite remarkable.
