2. Hello, my name is Lawson Turner. Some of the
unique things that makes me, well me, are that I
have an energetic and magnetic personality.
Some of my hopes and dreams are to one day
have my own daily sports talk show or to do play
by play for a big network like NBC, FOX, CBS,
or Sky Sports. I am a sports junkie I love
football, basketball, hockey, and I am learning to
enjoy soccer as a sport. Another big hope or
dream is to have all American sports worldwide,
like the NFL putting a team in London someday.

Methodology:
Forbes valued more than 200 global brands by looking at three years of earnings and allocating a percentage of those earnings based on the role brands play in each industry (e.g., high for luxury goods and beverages, low for airlines and oil companies). We applied the average price-to-earnings multiple over the past three years to these earnings to arrive at the final brand value.
