Today we discussed our roles as leaders. We are to step up when others step back. It may be leading a group at work, leading a workout in F3, or volunteering to take the kids to practice. Leaders do what is needed, when it’s needed. TClaps to Battlebot for leading the Armory site for over a year. As counterculture as it is, he stepped out of his leadership role to allow for a new man to step up. TClaps to Naked and Afraid for being that HIM.
It is incumbent upon us to help with that transition – to support our new site Q by volunteering to lead a few workouts and to show up each week. In F3, we lead on a rotating fashion. We are a group of leaders, not a group with a leader. We lead where we can and find a man to replace us when he can do it 80% as well as we can. That’s what leaders do.
Well done, men. It was a pleasure to share the Gloom with you men.

Aye!
