Beautiful morning for a beatdown.

Circle of Trust

Spoke about the different regions and formats I have seen across different regions in my 2yrs with F3. Identified trends I have seen with what makes AOs successful: consistency, culture, standards, and dedication during slow periods. Sometimes hard chargers disappear and it seems like the AO is failing, but all you need is at least two dedicated men to hold the torch when things slow down.

Reach out to men when they pull back. We all are fighting our own battles and men for whatever reason tend to pull away from support rather than lean in when they are going through a rough patch.

Keep that torch burning bright with passion.
