Speedrunner vs The Chill Builder
🎙️ XP for the Brain – Ep 2: Speedrunner vs The Chill Builder
🐢💨🎯 Based on The Tortoise and the Hare
Blaze the Hare is fast, flashy, and sure he’ll win. Terry the Tortoise is slow, steady, and focused. Guess who actually crosses the finish line?
In this episode, Alex & Steve break down why going slow and steady is sometimes the smartest move, especially when speed leads to sloppy mistakes. Builds on Episode 1’s trust theme with a new focus on patience and self-control.
🧠 Lesson: Flash fades — focus finishes.
🎧 Ideal for young gamers learning that being the fastest isn’t the same as being the smartest.
