Brothers build a multi-million dollar media empire
(clarionledger.com) On the day the ceiling almost fell on his head, Steven Roberts learned that his brother could see things before they happened.
“I was 3 years old,” Steven Roberts says, “and had dragged my rocking horse into a room where my dad was going to get the ceiling fixed. My parents had forbade us to play in there.
“Mike was passing by and saw me. He told me to get out of there, ran in and pulled me out the door on my horsey. Then - and I can still see this - parts of the ceiling fell where I had been. I saw the dust rising.”
Steven Roberts’ older brother never never has stopped imagining the future.
