Episode 992: School doesnt prepare us for life, with Russ Sorrells
Russ Sorrells\u2019s bio, in his own words:
It all started because I wanted to be a better dad. I was driving home with my kids one day and thought, \u201cWhy doesn\u2019t the school system teach kids how to live a happy life?\u201d It dawned on me, \u201cbecause that\u2019s my job as a parent.\u201d Duh.
From then on, I started teaching daily 5 minute lessons to my kids based on everything I\u2019ve learned over my 5 years as a high-performance coach. At first it was hard to add it to our manic morning routine, but now my kids harass me if they don\u2019t get their daily Lunchbox Lesson.
