podcast May 16, 2022

Background
share close

I couldn’t imagine watching my Dad die in front of me, especially as a teen.

And if that happened, I sure as heck don’t think I’d be able to tell the story over and over again, day in and day out, to thousands of complete strangers.

But that’s exactly what Legacy Letter Challenge Founder, Blake Brewer, is doing…

And it’s impacting thousands of Dads all across the world and forever changing their families, including mine.

🚨 Parents…ESPECIALLY you Dads reading this…    

Blake comes on the Coming Up Clutch with J.R.™ show today and shares his POWERFUL story of legacy.

  • The power of our words and how they can hurt or help ourselves and our kids
  • How to increase our kids’ confidence, success, and emotional intelligence
  • The three things EVERY child needs to hear from their parents, especially their Dad
