In this episode, I speak with veteran NFL player John Welbourn, who was an Offensive Lineman for the Eagles, Chiefs and Patriots, about what it takes to be selfless and show up as a dad and father. John has been a celebrity, I wanted his take on why he dedicates himself to serving his family and how hard the transition was from hired killer to family man. John is also the CEO of Power Athlete, a company that educates elite fitness trainers and trains professional athletes and Navy SEAL’s, and an expert in nutrition for performance. We discuss John’s involved approach to parenting, how he maintains a loving relationship with his wife, and strategies for keeping yourself and your family fit and healthy.
