“But focusing on myself is selfish, J.R.”

I hear that a LOT. 

Then I’m forced to bust out the overused airplane oxygen mask analogy. You know…

If you’re sitting next to someone less able than you, make sure to put YOUR mask on FIRST *BEFORE* you assist the person next to you.

I wonder why that is?

If you can’t invest in YOU, how the hell you going to invest in others?

In today’s episode of Coming Up Clutch with J.R.™️, I summarize the Top 3 nuggets from Monday’s interview with ultra-successful entrepreneur, publisher, author, and speaker, Julio Melara.

We lean into this “invest in yourself” topic head-on.

The man has been through the lowest of lows and the highest of highs in sports, business, and LIFE. …and he didn’t hold back his wisdom during our conversation. 

If you want some practical tips to make investing in yourself easier, check out today’s episode to get the cliffs notes version of my interview with Julio.
