Building confidence through affection and family relationships is the secret ingredient to a life well-lived. ✨

Jesse reflects on a provocative question asked at a crawfish boil: "Are you spoiled?" While the dictionary might suggest entitlement, Jesse argues that being spoiled with love, attention, and high expectations is what gave him the courage to chase his dreams from the streets of New Orleans to across the world. This episode breaks down the generational differences in parenting, the power of a "prince-like" upbringing focused on character, and how to overcome social anxiety by focusing on others. Learn how to shower those you love with the kind of attention that builds them up rather than breaking them down. 🌟
