slay life
Creator of Power Athlete and NFL veteran, J Welly [@JohnWelbourn] takes questions from Luke and Tex and reflects on the principles he’s acquired over the years. The topic follows a theme I have heard many times over…what to teach your son so that he will slay girls with incredible efficacy.
As the guys reflect on their own upbringings they simultaneously look to the future with increasing sentimentality. A more broad conversation about which specific skills each parent should be instilling in their child, boy or girl, leads to a rough blueprint for success. Disclaimer: we are not life experts and we have no life hacks. That shit does not exist. We only offer stories, repeater jokes, and the occasional smart guest. Luckily, this episode contains all three.
EMPOWER YOUR PERFORMANCE.
Hopefully you were able to take away something from this life lessons episode. My personal favorite is the Bob Welbourn approach to stupidity: “It’s better to be thought of as an idiot than to open your mouth and prove it”.
