The father of two -- Jason, 22, and Christian, 18 -- said he has taught them to be their best selves by going after his own dreams.

\"Being a single parent is a difficult thing because a lot of times, I was like, I have to put myself second for them,\" he thought. \"I realized that the only way I could have them be their best selves was if I was my best self. Which means that I have to make sure that I'm going after my own dreams.\"

Brown continued, \"Having them see me go after my dreams is only letting them know they can do that.\"

\"Queer Eye\" season 3 will be streaming on Netflix March 15.
