Dave Tate Table Talk- John Welbourn

I listen to a lot of podcasts, but rarely am I so inspired that I have to note the guest and pull out some of my favorite quotes.  John Welbourn is a fascinating guy who has an incredible work ethic, mental clarity and incredible genetics.  He played football in the NFL and came back from numerous injuries which should have been career ending.  He practices jiu jitsu in addition to strength training.  Born in 1976, he is only 5 years my junior, but is an absolute beast.

Only a fool speaks before he learns to read and write.  If you want to be able to think, you have to be able to read well and you have to be able to write exceptionally well.  Degree in rhetoric.
