When we’re young, our heroes wear capes. As we age, our new heroes wear flaws, scars, and wisdom. They quietly show up, do the work, and expect no applause. Growing up isn’t about losing heroes, it’s about finding real ones.

You men are my heroes. You each have special gifts that I admire. You may not see it, but we do. Spending time in the Gloom with you men makes me better. Thank you.

Mosey to the Track
– 1 lap followed by 25 Merkins, 25 Flutters, 25 Wide Arm Merkins (repeat 4 times) – 100 Merkins, 100 Flutters, 100 Werkins, and 1 mile

The quickest way to lose credibility as a leader is to pass the blame to someone else. We are better than that. Great leaders pass the praise and take the blame. It builds trust, earns respect, and shows true character. Ego divides. Ownership unites.

Aye!
