ANNOUNCEMENTS: Biohack is the new AOQ!!! BFF at Quanken Saturday, Dad Camp the next week, Forg3 in September.
COT:
The Q source provides us with Leadership Competencies (Vision, Articulation, Persuasion, and Exhortation) and Virtues (Candor, Commitment, Consistency, Contentment, and Courage), but ahead of these things, there is a fundamental reality – Trust. Without Trust, there can be no Team, and without a Team there is no Leader. While Trust-worthiness might be guessed at by evaluating the other leadership traits, there is only one way to truly get Trust – the Stress Test. Trust only truly develops when a man stands with you under stress and does not give way. Though I could speak on Biohack’s leadership traits, what gives me greatest confidence in his success is the Trust that I have in him, having stood with me in many gaps and proven himself reliable. So it is with no hesitation that I step aside to give him the lead of this fine and flourishing AO.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
COT: My son Shuttlecock just found out yesterday that he leaves for Basic this Monday instead of next Monday. He’s now trying to cram in a lot of things that he thought he had more time for. A small reminder that we all may not have as much time as we think. Live so that if you ran out of time tomorrow you would not have regrets.
