Are you\xa0not ready for the real world? Today\u2019s guest, Russ Sorrells, will discuss this interesting topic. After this episode, you will be more equipped with the right lessons and can face the challenges that await you in the real world.\xa0\xa0

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.
