  • healthy perseverance: Leaders are hardwired to push through discomfort, mask their pain, and show up for their people no matter the physical cost.
  • Where in your life are you pretending to the world that you are completely fine?
  • Vertical Accountability: relationship between you and the standard you hold yourself to.
  • Why is it so difficult for high-performing men to raise their hands and say, "I am hitting my limit, I need to sit this out"?
  • Horizontal Accountability: relationship with peers.
  • Are we actively looking at the faces of those around us, and able to see when someone is silently red-lining or are we too focused on our own performance?

2nd F: HELP
Every man carried something heavy today. Every man eventually got relief when someone else took it. Life works the same way. The strongest men aren't the ones who carry everything alone. They're the ones humble enough to ask for help and mature enough to hear the truth when it's offered.
